Nephron Segments of Rat Kidney Cortex
Renal cortical tubules consist of polarized epithelial cells where Na/H antiport activity has been demonstrated on the apical and/or basolateral membrane. Apical Na/H antiport activity plays an important role in transcellular bicarbonate (HCO3) reabsorption, whereas basolateral Na/H antiport activity could be involved in transcellular HCO3secretion as well as cell volume and pH control. To dete...
متن کاملCystic gene dosage influences kidney lesions after nephron reduction.
Cystic kidney disease is characterized by the progressive development of multiple fluid-filled cysts. Cysts can be acquired, or they may appear during development or in postnatal life due to specific gene defects and lead to renal failure. The most frequent form of this disease is the inherited polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Experimental models of PKD showed that an increase of cellular proli...
متن کاملLow Nephron Number and Its Clinical Consequences
Epidemiologic studies now strongly support the hypothesis, proposed over two decades ago, that developmental programming of the kidney impacts an individual's risk for hypertension and renal disease in later life. Low birth weight is the strongest current clinical surrogate marker for an adverse intrauterine environment and, based on animal and human studies, is associated with a low nephron nu...
متن کاملA comparison of nephron number, glomerular volume and kidney weight in Senegalese Africans and African Americans.
BACKGROUND Low nephron number is determined in utero and is a proposed risk for essential hypertension. Glomerular volume is inversely correlated with nephron number, and genetic and environmental factors that determine nephron number are thought to determine glomerular volume. This study compared total glomerular (nephron) number (N(glom)), mean glomerular volume (V(glom)) and kidney weight in...
متن کاملKidney autotransplantation after nephrectomy and work bench surgery as an ultimate approach to nephron-sparing surgery
BACKGROUND Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is the ultimate approach for nephron-sparing surgery. It is a rarely used method in renal tumor surgery today as minimal invasive and open techniques for nephron-sparing surgery improve constantly. In this publication, the complication rate and the long-term functional and oncological outcome at a single center are analyzed. METHODS A prospectively ...
