Nephron Patterning: Lessons from Xenopus, Zebrafish, and Mouse Studies
The nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the vertebrate kidney. To ensure kidney functions, the nephrons possess a highly segmental organization where each segment is specialized for the secretion and reabsorption of particular solutes. During embryogenesis, nephron progenitors undergo a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) and acquire different segment-specific cell fat...
متن کاملGlomerular function, structure, and number in renal allografts from older deceased donors.
The 5-yr survival rate of renal allografts is significantly lower for grafts from older deceased donors than from younger deceased donors. For evaluation of the potential contribution of renal senescence in this shortened graft survival, glomerular function and structure were analyzed in allografts from deceased donors older than 55 yr ("aging") or younger than 40 yr ("youthful"). Aging donors ...
متن کاملGlomerular structure in the normal human kidney: differences between living and cadaver donors.
Glomerular structure has been studied in tissues derived from normal living and cadaver kidney donors. Values obtained in such subjects were considered interchangeable and have been used to define the normal parameters when evaluating the effects of various renal diseases. The present study evaluated glomerular structure by light and electron microscopy in 83 living and 53 cadaver kidney donors...
متن کاملCompensatory Renal Hypertrophy in Dogs: Single Nephron Glomerular Filtration Rate
Sodium ferrocyanide was used to measure the intrarenal distribution of single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) in remaining kidneys of dogs, 10 d after contralateral nephrectomy. It was first demonstrated that the renal function of both kidneys in situ was comparable. Following right nephrectomy, the urine volume, p-aminohippuric acid clearance, creatine clearance, osmolar clearance, ...
متن کاملSingle-Nephron Glomerular Filtration Rate in Healthy Adults.
BACKGROUND The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assesses the function of all nephrons, and the single-nephron GFR assesses the function of individual nephrons. How the single-nephron GFR relates to demographic and clinical characteristics and kidney-biopsy findings in humans is unknown. METHODS We identified 1388 living kidney donors at the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic who underwent a...
