Conference Presentation Abstracts
Background: A recent study indicates that arginase-1 participates in M2 macrophage-mediated renal tubular regeneration in a rodent model (Shin et al. JASN 2022). As injured proximal tubule cells have a phagocytotic capacity (stain positively for CD68 and kidney injury moleucule-1 in previous studies), we hypothesized that the injured proximal tubules may stain positively for arginase1. Design: We analyzed PAS-stained renal biopsy sections for evidence of ATI using a semiquantitative scale: 0 (no injury) to 1-2+ (mild to moderate ATI) to 3+ (severe ATI). First group (N=7) consisted of renal biopsies that had no evidence of ATI or were obtained from …
