Abstract
Renal tissue mast cell counts were studied in autopsied cases of liver diseases. In cirrhosis and fibrosis of the liver, cases with hepato-renal syndrome showed a significant decrease in renal tissue mast cell counts as compared to those without hepato-renal syndrome. On the other hand, a significant increase in the number of mast cells was noted in cases with hepato-renal syndrome as compared to those without hepato-renal syndrome in fulminant hepatitis. These results suggest that renal tissue mast cells may play an important role in the onset of acute renal failure in liver diseases.Entities:
