background and aims: p504s (amacr) is a mitochondrial enzyme expressed in renal cell carcinoma. some of immunohistochemical markers in renal cell tumors are independent prognostic factor and show relation with histologic grading. amacr expression increases with higher histological grading in different tumors; however, in rcc it is not obvious. in this study, we tried to investigate if any relation existed between nuclear grading in renal cell carcinoma and p504s.   materials &amp; methods: fort five cases of formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue of renal cell carcinoma with different nuclear grades were selected and immunostained using primary antibody to p504s and quantified with h-score, multiplicative (mqs) and additive quick score (aqs). results: p504s was positive in 37 out of 45 (82%) cases. (mean ± sd) of h-score: grade i =182±44. ii=218±161, iii=215±55, iv=190. mean ± sd of add quick score: grade i= 6.6± 1.8, ii= 7.24±1.4, iii= 7.78±1.2, iv= 8. mean ± sd of multi quick score: grade i= 9± 5.6, ii= 11.38±5, iii =12.89±4.7, iv= 12. (aqs vs h- score: r = 0.701, p < 0.007), (mqs vs h-score: r = 0.808, p < 0.001) conclusion: p504s is one of the important immunohistochemical markers in primary and metastatic rcc. our results show that there is no statistically correlation between histological grade of rcc and amacr staining in semi – quantitative measurement. we suggest amacr staining to be used as a diagnostic immunohistochemical marker in conjunction with other markers in differential diagnosis of metastatic renal papillary and even clear cell carcinoma.

Quick Score and H-Score Assessment of P504s (AMACR) Expression in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and Relation with Histologic Grade

Background and Aims: P504S (AMACR) is a mitochondrial enzyme expressed in renal cell carcinoma. Some of immunohistochemical markers in renal cell tumors are independent prognostic factor and show relation with histologic grading. AMACR expression increases with higher histological grading in different tumors; however, in RCC it is not obvious. In this study, we tried to investigate if ...

Expression Of P53 And Ki67 Proteins In Renal Cell Carcinoma And Its Relationship With Nuclear Grade

Background and Objective: Evaluation of tumor proliferative activity may provide a predicting parameter to estimate biologic aggression and a subsequent prognosis that has been evaluated in many malignancies. We have selected renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in this study. To determine tumor proliferative activity, KI67 antibody was applied and results were compared with apoptosis, applying P53 antib...

External validation of a nomogram using RENAL nephrometry score to predict high grade renal cell carcinoma.

PURPOSE A novel nomogram using the RENAL ([R]adius maximal diameter in cm, [E]xophytic/endophytic properties, [N]earness of the tumor to the collecting system or sinus in mm, [A]nterior/Posterior, [L]ocation relative to the polar lines and [H]ilar) nephrometry score was developed to predict high grade renal cell carcinoma. It showed good performance in internal evaluation. We externally validat...

Associations of the Dietary Diversity Score and Food Variety Score with Serum Magnesium and Ferritin Status

Introduction: Dietary diversity score (DDS) and Food variety score (FVS) are the appropriate measures used to evaluate the overall quality of dietary patterns. However, their associations with the serum levels of micronutrients remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the correlations between DDS/FVS and serum ferritin and magnesium status in the non-athlete femal...

R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score: A Preoperative Risk Factor Predicting the Fuhrman Grade of Clear-Cell Renal Carcinoma

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Score to postoperatively predict high-grade clear-cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: The study included 288 patients diagnosed with ccRCC who had complete CT/CTA data and R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Scores and underwent renal surgery at our center between January 2012 and December 2015...
