Abstract
Previous studies using immunofluorescent methods indicate that both the cellular crescents in crescentic glomerulonephritis and the podocyte proliferation in collapsing FSGS may both originate from parietal epithelial cells, which serve as CD133 positive progenitor cells. We have previously confirmed positive CD133 staining in the cellular crescents of crescentic glomerulonephritis. However, the role of CD133 expression in highlighting the proliferative podocytes in collapsing FSGS has not been adapted to the renal pathology practice.
