Özet

Objective: Phenotypical changes in the tubular epithelial cells (TEC) seem to be important in the progression of renal diseases. The present study was designed to identify the relation between the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens and CD44 by TEC, with parameters of renal scarring in primary and systemic renal diseases.
