The aim of this study was to examine the
structural, ultrastructural and morphometric alterations
which take place in the contralateral kidneys of rats with
experimental unilateral hydronephrosis.
20 Wistar rats weighing 250 gr., affected by a process
of unilateral hydronephrosis following the ligature of the
ureter, were used; these rats were then killed 40,50,60,
or 70 days after the ligature.
Among the perceived alterations, were immunoglobulin
G deposits shown by positive immunoperoxidase reaction
and increase in the size of the glomerular and corpuscle
from around the fortieth day, and structural alterations
that included the pedicels, electrondense deposits in the
podocytes and pseudogranular structures in the basal
membrane of the capillary.
