renal/urinary system
kidney cyst
(
J:223201
)
|
• presence of occasional cysts in the medullary collecting ducts at P1
|
|
• urine osmolalities are lower
|
|
• baseline urine pH is normal but is higher following 48 hours of acidic loading with NH4Cl, indicating a lower ability to handle an acidic load
|
|
• collecting ducts show increased apoptosis at E18.5
|
|
• dilation of tubules from a proximal tubule origin at P1
|
|
• thin kidney cortex at P1
|
small kidney
(
J:223201
)
|
• small kidney size in newborns
|
|
• kidney weight and kidney-to-body weight ratios are lower at P1 at P30
|
|
• decrease in nephron number at P1
|
|
• ureteric buds show increased apoptosis at E12.5
|
|
• kidneys show aberrant terminal differentiation of the ureteric bud epithelium
|
|
• E12.5 metanephroi show a reduction in the number of ureteric bud tips indicating a branching defect
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• levels of serum creatinine are increased at P30
|
|
• urine osmolalities are lower
|
|
• baseline urine pH is normal but is higher following 48 hours of acidic loading with NH4Cl, indicating a lower ability to handle an acidic load
