Tubular Epithelial Vacuolar Change
Tubular Epithelial Vacuolar Change

The proximal tubular epithelial cells are voluminous in size due to marked vacuolar change of the cytoplasm.
This change can be seen in hypokalemia, ischemia, dextran and mannitol administration, and post intravenous pyelogram studies.
