PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of pathological markers like Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), neurons and Collagen to Muscle ratio (CM ratio), in predicting pyeloplasty outcomes.
METHODS: Histological sections from 31 patients with UPJO were analyzed for ICC & neurons on immuno-histochemistry and CM ratio on Masson's trichrome staining. Post-operative outcomes were analyzed at 1-year follow up; expressed as excellent, moderate or mild improvement, static and deterioration based on the three factors: ultrasound grade, differential renal function and renogram drainage pattern. The pathological findings were correlated with clinical outcomes.
RESULTS: The study group (n = 31) had a mean age 2.9 (0.6) years (M: F = 22:9). UPJ segment had significantly less ICC/neurons and more collagen compared to normal ureter (p = 0.001). Pathological parameters at the anastomosed end of ureter had a better correlation than those at UPJ with clinical outcome. CM ratio with a stronger correlation (r = - 0.94; p = 0.001) was a better predictor of prognosis than ICC (r = 0.76; p = 0.01) or neuron (r = 0.83; p = 0.01) density. ICC >10/HPF, neurons >6/HPF and CM ratio <1.2 at ureteric end anastomosed were predictors of success.
CONCLUSIONS: CM ratio analysis at anastomosed ureter is a superior marker for predicting pyeloplasty outcomes.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Type 2: Development of diagnostic criteria in a consecutive series of patients.
