| Abstract: |
(B) Morphometry of CLCs at the pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) following CD117 immunostaining in children with PUJO and age-matched controls (n = 8). Morphometric variations of Cajal-like cells are associated with pelviureteric junction obstruction in children Abbreviations CLC Cajal-like cell PUJ pelviureteric junction PUJO pelviureteric junction obstruction Coordinated peristaltic contractions along the renal calyces, pelviureteric junction (PUJ) and the ureter ensure the passage of urine from the kidney into the bladder.
