For practical purposes the concentration test is the most useful test of renal function. Chronic pyelonephritis is more frequent than is generally realised; it affects women more often than men, is not infrequently confined to one kidney, and can often be cured by timely surgical intervention. ...
Kidney stones are probably the most common form of renal disease, but also the easiest to treat. A kidney stone is a small, hardened material that forms in the kidney. This may cause blood in the urine and pain in the back and stomach. One method of treating kidney stones is to let t...

In this situation, people who have kidney diseases that impair renal function develop edema because of a limitation in the kidneys' ability to excrete sodium into the urine. Thus, people with kidney failure from whatever cause will develop edema if their intake of sodium exceeds the ability of ...

function and endothelial cells and distal tubule segments for blood pressure pathogenesis. Bayesian colocalization analysis nominated more than 200 genes for kidney function and hypertension. Our study clarifies the mechanism of commonly used antihypertensive and renal-protective drugs and identifies drug ...
This lesson discusses the structure and function of arteries and arterioles. Similarities and differences between elastic artery, muscular artery, and arterioles are detailed. Arteries Arteriescarry oxygenated blood from the heart to distal organs. All blood vessels, arteries and veins, are comprised of...

Several nonhormonal mechanisms have been hypothesized to link physical activity to cancer risk, including inflammation, immune function, oxidative stress, and for colon cancer, reduced gastrointestinal transit time.43 Some of these nonhormonal mechanisms could potentially explain why physical activity was ...
