Increased numbers of renal tubular epithelial cells are present in the urinary sediments of renal transplant recipients during acute rejection. Few investigators have described characteristics of renal tubular epithelial cells in cytologic preparations. This study compiles morphologic characteristics of various tubular epithelial cells and determines the type of the tubular cells present during acute allograft rejection. The results demonstrate that cuboidal forms from the small collecting ducts are the predominent tubular epithelial cells exfoliated in voided urine during acute allograft rejection.
在急性排斥反应期间，肾移植受者的尿沉渣中肾小管上皮细胞数量增加。很少有研究者描述过细胞学制剂中肾小管上皮细胞的特征。本研究汇总了各种肾小管上皮细胞的形态学特征，并确定了急性同种异体移植排斥反应期间出现的肾小管细胞类型。结果表明，急性同种异体移植排斥反应期间，来自小集合管的立方形细胞是排尿中脱落的主要肾小管上皮细胞。
