[A new type of sialidosis with kidney disease: nephrosialidosis. II. Anatomic study]

The anatomical, macroscopical, histological, histochemical and ultrastructural findings in nephrosialidosis have certain similarities to those found in mucolipidoses. (Excess of complex lipid in neural tissue and an excess of light coloured material in the reticulo-endothelial system that is not easily characterised). Several distinct features help to distinguish nephrosialidosis from closely related conditions (renal lesions, storage of material in sympathetic ganglia).
