This paper deals with the question of how to correlate the structural organisation of the renal medulla with its main function: the production of a urine more concentrated than blood plasma and other body fluids

The structure and function of the kidneys are highly compartmentalized. The primary functional unit of the kidneys is the nephron. The number of nephrons averages ~1 million in a human kidney. Each nephron consists of a glomerulus and a Bowman’s capsule connected serially to a proximal tubule...

II Structure and Function of the Kidney Kidneys, along with ureters, bladder, and urethra form the urinary system. The human kidneys are bean-shaped organs that have their convex side pointing laterally. The nerves, ureters, renal blood vessels, and the lymphatic vessels enter and leave the kid...

Crystals were present in both the renal medulla and cortex, and affected proximal nephrons, distal nephrons, collecting ducts, and some tubules appeared dilated, while there were no crystals observed in the renal tissue of control group as well as the renal tubules appeared normal and cells ...
In the related research of renal fibrosis, a large number of natural products (especially the natural products in Traditional Chinese Medicine) have been confirmed to alleviate the process of renal fibrosis, protect the renal structure and improve renal function by regulating a variety of cytokines....
The improvements in cardiac structure and function induced by RDN are more likely to explain improved survival in the ACF model, than the direct effects of RDN on renal hemodynamics. This was shown by our previous study, where RDN improved survival rate, but had no effect on reduced renal blo...
