Structural and metabolic characteristic of nephrocytes during peritonitis of various genesis

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2001 Oct;132(4):1009-12. doi: 10.1023/a:1013644017403.

Abstract

Structural and metabolic changes in nephrocytes during peritonitis were studied on early autopsy material. Unspecific morphological changes in the kidneys were presented by circulatory disturbances and damage to the tubular epithelium. The changes in dehydrogenase activity in nephrocytes of the proximal and distal tubules depended on the cause of peritonitis.
