Abstract
Urothelium, like intestinal and respiratory epithelia, plays an active role in immunoregulation and may contribute to exacerbation of the pathogenesis of congenital UPJ-O. Many eosinophil-associated disease cytokines, which can lead to the degranulation of mast cells, are predominant regulators in UPJ-O urothelium.
