Thus, once their depletion reaches a specific threshold, it is considered to be irreversible. The discovery of cells with the aptitude to differentiate into podocytes in the adult kidney, i.e. renal progenitor cells (RPCs), was a critical step in understanding the mechanisms of glomerular repair...
Hypoalbuminemia generally is not considered a medical condition in itself, but a possible side effect of other health problems. For example, liver disease can cause this condition because albumin is synthesized in the liver. When liver cells die because of disease, the albumin-producing capability...
