  • Title: Congenital obstructive uropathy and nodular renal blastema.
    Author: Craver R, Dimmick J, Johnson H, Nigro M.
    Journal: J Urol; 1986 Jul; 136(1 Pt 2):305-7. PubMed ID: 3014168.
    Abstract:
    The occurrence of nodular renal blastema and renal dysplasia was determined in a retrospective study of 75 cases of congenital obstructive uropathy. Nodular renal blastema was present in 3 upper pole nephrectomy specimens removed as a consequence of nonfunction owing to ectopic ureterocele; none was dysplastic. A more differentiated type of nodular renal blastema was present in 3 other total nephrectomy specimens, bilateral involvement in a case of posterior urethral valves and unilateral nodular renal blastema associated with ureteral atresia. This subset of differentiated nodular renal blastema was associated with renal dysplasia.
