dc.description.abstractHuman kidney sections taken at autopsy were examined to determine the incidence of metaplasia of the Bowman's parietal epithelium. Autopsy records were consulted to determine if there was any correlation between clinical disease, histopathological changes in organ systems and metaplasia of Bowman's capsule. The sections represented both sexes in 9 age groups from 2 to 87 years. The sections were fixed in neutral formalin, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 6 pm, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. A total of 129 kidney sections, representing 129 individuals, were evaluated. One hundred renal corpuscles were counted per section and the parietal layer of Bowman's capsule was classified as normal (squamous) or metaplastic (cuboidal). Of the 129 kidneys examined, 69 (53%) had metaplasia of Bowman's capsule. Of the 87 male kidneys, 51 (59%) exhibited metaplasia of Bowman's capsule. Of the 42 female kidneys examined, 18 (43%) of the kidneys had metaplasia of Bowman's capsule. On average, in kidneys with metaplasia, 4% of the renal corpuscles had metaplasia of Bowman's parietal layer. The lesion was present in both sexes in all age groups. The autopsy records revealed that there was no common clinical condition associated with the metaplastic lesion, but metaplasia of Bowman's parietal epithelium was consistently present with hepatic congestion and/or fatty changes
