renal/urinary system
|
• after birth cysts shift to the collecting ducts and cysts are lined with a single layer of epithelial cells with polygonal principal-like cell appearance
• EGF treatment reduces the severity of kidney cysts
|
|
• newborns have cysts in the inner cortical proximal tubules
|
|
• rapid kidney enlargement after birth associated with development of cysts in the collecting ducts
• EGF treatment reduced kidney size but did not improve kidney function
|
homeostasis/metabolism
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• dilation of the pancreatic ducts present in newborns
|
|
• intrahepatic biliary duct cysts associated with peridcuctal hyperplasia and fibrosis
|
|
• common bile duct dilation
• EGF treatment reduces bile duct dilation
|
|
• almost no islets of Langerhans seen
|
liver/biliary system
|
• intrahepatic biliary duct cysts associated with peridcuctal hyperplasia and fibrosis
|
|
• common bile duct dilation
• EGF treatment reduces bile duct dilation
|
|
• peridcuctal fibrosis associated with intrahepatic biliary duct cysts
|
growth/size/body
|
