Renal corpuscle

The kidneys keep up ordinary homeostasis by separating and discharging metabolic waste items, by directing acid–base offset, and by directing pulse and liquid volume [4]. Abatement in renal capacity is brought about by numerous issues; among these are diabetes mellitus and hypertension. At present, analysis of renal brokenness is in view of such estimations as creatinine, urea, and electrolytes, and additionally on creatinine freedom. These circuitous estimations have low affectability, since a…

glomerular filtrate. Because the afferent arteriole to the glomerulus is much larger than its efferent arteriole, fluid gets slowed down here quite a bit. The fluid that escapes the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole eventually goes to the renal vein. The rest of the glomerular filtrate is absorbed by the glomerular capsule directly adjacent to the…

A Doctor 's Mistake It started off as a normal year, I had just finished my residency and now I could practice medicine on my own without someone looking over my shoulder at all times. Everything was completely normal until she was carted into the ER room with a low heart and respiratory rate. I didn 't know it at the time, but I was about to have the year of my life. I knew she was trouble from the moment I saw her carted through the door; however, she needed my help, and I was bound by law to…

pyelonephritis: Pyelonephritis is an acute urological condition that cause infection on one or both kidneys. It is a lower urinary tract infection that ascended to the pelvis of the kidney. Severe cases of pyelonephritis can cause systemic sepsis, pyonephrosis, renal failure, multisystem failure and death. In most cases, the infection is caused by gram-negative bacteria, mostly Escherichia coli, which is transmitted from anal and perianal…

Chronic Kidney Disease is also known as Chronic Kidney Failure. This diagnosis describes a set of renal-degenerative symptoms and stages that eventually lead to dialysis, kidney transplant, and/or death. What makes chronic kidney disease so dangerous is its innocuity. Its early symptoms are often nonspecific and can appear to be from other illnesses. Usually, by the time the kidney damage is noticed due to loss of function, it is irreversible. Due to advancing medical technology, improved…

the causes renal failure . Pre-renal kidney injury is caused by hypo perfusion of the kidneys caused by volume depletion and renal artery stenosis( Cheung, Talbot , 2008) Intrinsic kidney injury involves structural damage to glomerulus, vessels, or kidney tubules which can be by prolonged pre- renal causes leading to cell necrosis by ischemia or by infectious agents and toxins that result in inflammation or injury . (ADIS International Ltd, 2009;Cheunget al ;2008; Talbot,2008). Post renal…

All about End Stage Renal Failure Whitney Caples Mississippi College Introduction Healthy kidneys cleanse the blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. But if the kidneys are damaged, they don't work properly. Harmful wastes can build up in your body. Your blood pressure may rise. Your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. End Stage Renal Failure, also referred to as kidney…

incapable of filtering wastes products from the blood. The chance of acquiring AKF is greater if the patient is already hospitalized. In addition, AKF develops quickly and require intensive treatment. On the other hand, the patients could recover normal renal function if their health are good. AKF is characterized by drowsiness, swelling, and shortness of breath. However, sometimes AKF does not appear any signs or symptoms. AKF has four phases which are the onset phase, the oliguric phase, the…

can lead to abruptio placentae, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral vascular accident, acute renal failure, and intrauterine growth restrictions for the fetus (Norton 2007).” This decreased circulation leads to significant changes as follows: Decreased renal perfusion reduces the glomerular filtration rate causing blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and uric acid levels to rise; Glomerular damage from the reduced renal blood flow allowing protein to leak across the glomerular membrane; Loss of protein…
