The human nephron filter: toward a continuously functioning, implantable artificial nephron system.
BACKGROUND Nearly 900,000 patients worldwide have end-stage renal disease and require dialysis or kidney transplantation, and this number is expected to more than double by 2010, placing considerable stress on healthcare systems throughout the world. Despite the availability of these forms of renal replacement therapy for nearly four decades, mortality and morbidity is high and patients often h...
متن کاملSynchronization phenomena in nephron-nephron interaction.
Experimental data for tubular pressure oscillations in rat kidneys are analyzed in order to examine the different types of synchronization that can arise between neighboring functional units. For rats with normal blood pressure, the individual unit (the nephron) typically exhibits regular oscillations in its tubular pressure and flow variations. For such rats, both in-phase and antiphase synchr...
متن کاملGenetics and the nephron.
There have been phenomenal advances in our understanding of renal biology over the last 20 years through our ability to define the genetic mutations causing kidney disease in children. This review will take you through a trip down the nephron and highlight how these conditions may present to the paediatrician and the molecular basis for their biological effects.

Background/Aims: SM22 ! , transgelin, has been revealed to be specifically expressed in glomerular epithelial cells and interstitial cells, according to the nature of the renal injury. In this study, quantitative analyses of SM22 ! positivity were performed to investigate the pathological significance of its expression. Methods: Kidney samples of adriamycin nephropathy underwent immunohistochem...

Cent Eur J Urol 2013; 66: 158 DOI: 10.5173/ceju.2013.02.art11 The goal of being able to better see the vasculature of the organ that the surgeon wants to operate on has been always a crucial factor behind the development of better radiological imaging technologies. In urology nowadays, partial nephrectomy for renal cancer is expanding with more cases done with tumors that, in the past, were unt...
