P0125electron Microscopic Description of a Sensitive Diagnostic Proximal Epithelial Lysosomal Lesion in Patients With Cinac/Ckdu/Men and Cni Nephrotoxicity
Abstract:Background and Aims
In CINAC patients from Sri Lanka, we recently observed a sensitive constellation of proximal tubular cell findings including cellular/tubular atrophy, cell fragment shedding and, by electron microscopy (EM), the presence of an increased number of enlarged lysosomes. Here we focused on precisely defining the EM lysosomal phenotype and evaluating its presence in CINAC/MeN/CKDu cases and controls from other countries.
