Renal corpuscle

Surgical management continues to be the primary approach (e.g. nephrectomy, or repair of the RAA and reconstruction of the renal artery). However, the alternative approach of angiographic embolization has become, in recent years, better known (Prabulos AM et al. 1997). Majority of RAA ruptures usually occur in the third trimester and have left-sided predominance (Cohen et al…

I am writing a memo to compare two websites both giving information on nephroblastoma or Wilms Tumor. The websites I choose to compare are Medscape and Mayo Clinic. Advertising and marketing affect us more than we realize. The media, businesses and the internet are constantly evaluating their audience to see what attracts them and what gets their attention. Each company or website has their target audience. This is based on gender, education, age, social class and hobbies to name a few. They…

At the recent American Urological Association-Western Section meeting in Kauai, Hawaii October 23-28, 2016, the Division of Urology won 1st Place for Best Poster in the Kidney cancer session for work entitled, “Crowdsourcing Assessment of Surgeon dissection of renal artery and vein during Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: A…

Filtration (glomerular filtration) in the kidney is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule. Filtration takes place in the renal corpuscle specifically with the glomerular capillaries and glomerular capsule. Filtration produces filtrate which is blood minus the cells and proteins. In general, only about 20% of the plasma volume that passes through the glomerulus…

about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.” The three major renal processes are glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion. Glomerular filtration produces a filtrate that is cell and protein free. This occurs in the renal corpuscle. Next, is tubular secretion. Taking place in the renal tubules and collecting ducts, substances from the filtrate are moved back into the blood such as water, glucose, amino…

than the right. Remarkably, the pair of organs are able to process in the region of 1700 L of blood a day whilst only weighing approximately 113 – 170g (Porth, 2005). The blood is supplied to each kidney via a renal artery branching off from either side of the aorta (Martini, 2006), the renal artery then divides into segmental arteries that sub-divide into interlobular arteries as shown in figure 1 (Openstax College, 2013). The interlobular arteries go through a series of further branching until…
