“…In the post ischemic kidney, on the other hand, ET was found to be dominating [7], In previous studies of ureteric obstruction, Josephson and co-authors [8][9][10][11] and other researchers [12,13] found a moderate reduction in glomerular number, not confined to any specific renal zone [9]. Glomeruli have been found to degenerate, but this does not develop until after weeks or months and is surprisingly heterogeneous [14][15][16][17], One reason for these changes might be a reduc tion in blood flow. However, this does not cease totally [18], and some filtration may continue for a long period, the filtrate being drained via pyelo-renal, pyelo-venous and pyelo-lymphatic exits [19,20] Clinical ureteric obstruction is usually a congenital dis order.…”
