Potassium Transport in the Mammalian Collecting Duct [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2001
The mammalian collecting duct plays a dominant role in regulating K+excretion by the nephron. The collecting duct exhibits axial and intrasegmental cell heterogeneity and is composed of at least two cell types: collecting duct cells (principal cells) and intercalated cells. Under normal circumstances, the collecting duct cell in the cortical collecting

Collecting duct carcinoma

Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2022
Collecting duct carcinoma (Bellini duct carcinoma) is a very rare disease with poor prognosis. Primary tumor surgery is not advisable, even though it is the therapy of choice for suspected malignant space-occupying renal masses. Chemotherapy seems to be inferior to new therapeutic concepts based on single case reports.

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

Urologia Internationalis, 2001
Collecting duct carcinoma of the kidney is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma. Hematuria is the most common presenting symptom. This tubulopapillary tumor arises from or differentiates forward to medullary collecting tubules. It is typically centered on the medulla of the kidney and extends into the cortex with a desmoplastic reaction.

Collecting duct morphogenesis

Pediatric Nephrology, 1999
The collecting duct system of the metanephric kidney develops from the ureteric bud, an outgrowth from the caudal end of the Wolffian duct. The ureteric bud is induced to form by signals emanating from a specific area of intermediate mesoderm, which it immediately invades.

Bellini duct (collecting duct) carcinoma of the kidney

International Urology and Nephrology, 1998
Carcinoma of the collecting ducts, or Bellini carcinoma, is a rare renal tumour and, unlike most renal cell carcinomas, it derives from distal tubules. It displays highly aggressive behaviour and has a poor prognosis. In this study, the authors present three cases which they observed over the past three years.

Adenosine Biosynthesis in the Collecting Duct

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2003
Adenosine regulates tubular transport in collecting ducts (CDs); however, the sources of adenosine that modulate ion transport in CDs are unknown. The extracellular cAMP-adenosine pathway refers to the conversion of cAMP to AMP by ectophosphodiesterase, followed by metabolism of AMP to adenosine by ecto-5'-nucleotidase, with all steps occurring in the ...

Morphology of rabbit collecting duct

American Journal of Anatomy, 1979
AbstractRecently the assumed structural and functional homogeneity of the collecting duct (CD) has been questioned. The objective of this study was to determine if heterogeneity occurs in luminal surface membrane structure or in cytoplasmic configuration of cells in the collecting duct or both.

The Collecting Duct

1978
The collecting duct is the terminal segment of the mammalian renal tubule, operating as the conduit for urine flow from several different nephrons to the renal calyces, and therefore is the final site for converting glomerular filtrate into urine. Two characteristics of the collecting duct are particularly germane to this major homeostatic function ...

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

2018
Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) of the kidney is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with an extremely poor prognosis as most cases are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. RCC is a clinically, histologically and genetically heterogeneous group of tumours.

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 1996
Collecting duct carcinoma is a rare form of renal tumour. Its recognition is important both clinically and histopathologically since it can mimic other renal neoplasms in appearance. Nephrectomy is the treatment of choice and, as the tumour usually pursues an aggressive course, adjuvant chemotherapy or immunotherapy may also be considered appropriate ...
