Collecting duct carcinoma of the kidney

Histopathology, 1986
Six cases of renal epithelial neoplasms, which show atypical histological features previously described in cases of collecting duct carcinomas, are presented. The tumours were of a tubulo‐papillary architecture, arose in the renal medulla and showed prominent infiltrating tubules with an associated desmoplastic reaction.

Bellini duct (collecting duct) carcinoma of the kidney

Urology, 1996
Bellini duct (collecting duct) carcinoma of the kidney is a rare entity often misinterpreted as renal or transitional cell carcinoma on histologic examination. Immunohistochemical identification of specific antigens is needed for the differential diagnoses. We describe a case of Bellini duct carcinoma that arose from the collecting ducts of Bellini and

Adenosine Biosynthesis in the Collecting Duct

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2003
Adenosine regulates tubular transport in collecting ducts (CDs); however, the sources of adenosine that modulate ion transport in CDs are unknown. The extracellular cAMP-adenosine pathway refers to the conversion of cAMP to AMP by ectophosphodiesterase, followed by metabolism of AMP to adenosine by ecto-5'-nucleotidase, with all steps occurring in the ...

Morphology of rabbit collecting duct

American Journal of Anatomy, 1979
AbstractRecently the assumed structural and functional homogeneity of the collecting duct (CD) has been questioned. The objective of this study was to determine if heterogeneity occurs in luminal surface membrane structure or in cytoplasmic configuration of cells in the collecting duct or both.

The Collecting Duct

1978
The collecting duct is the terminal segment of the mammalian renal tubule, operating as the conduit for urine flow from several different nephrons to the renal calyces, and therefore is the final site for converting glomerular filtrate into urine. Two characteristics of the collecting duct are particularly germane to this major homeostatic function ...

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

2018
Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) of the kidney is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with an extremely poor prognosis as most cases are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. RCC is a clinically, histologically and genetically heterogeneous group of tumours.

Molecular Physiology of the Medullary Collecting Duct

Comprehensive Physiology, 2011
Abstract The mammalian kidney is responsible for a multitude of homeostatic functions, which are mediated by both structural and functional diversity along the renal tubule. In this article, we focus on the major functions of the terminal portion of the renal tubule, the medullary collecting duct system.

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 1996
Collecting duct carcinoma is a rare form of renal tumour. Its recognition is important both clinically and histopathologically since it can mimic other renal neoplasms in appearance. Nephrectomy is the treatment of choice and, as the tumour usually pursues an aggressive course, adjuvant chemotherapy or immunotherapy may also be considered appropriate ...

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

2006
Collecting duct carcinoma is an aggressive subtype of RCC derived from the renal medulla. The tumor occurs in a wide age range, predominately in men. The usual histologic pattern is that of a tubular or tubulopapillary carcinoma with a desmoplastic stroma.

Collecting Duct Function and Sodium Balance

Annual Review of Medicine, 1982
Our purpose is to review the role of the collecting tubule in sodium homeo­ stasis.2 Present understanding of collecting duct function is based primarily on work published in the last ten years. Because of its inaccessibility, little was known about the collecting tubule until the introduction of new investi­ gative techniques.
