[Mesenteric lymph nodes of newborn from mothers with kidney diseases]

Microtopography and cellular content of mesenteric lymph nodes were studied in children who were born from healthy mothers (group 1) and from mothers with nephropathy (group II) and chronic pyelonephritis (group III). Lymph nodes of newborns from mothers with chronic pyelonephritis develop much slower than in control children and that from mothers with nephropathy. Lymph nodes in group II children resemble those of control group in their structure but its cellular content does not correspond control values. Morphological immaturity of lymph nodes of children from mothers with pyelonephritis allows to relate them to risk group that acquire significant immunomodulating correction.
