Timing of Recovery From Moderate to Severe AKI and the Risk for Future Loss of Kidney Function.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2020RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The extent of recovery of kidney function following acute kidney injury (AKI) is known to be associated with future chronic kidney disease.

Measurement of Kidney Function
Medical Clinics of North America, 2005Accurate estimation of kidney function is central to the detection, evaluation, and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is widely accepted as the best overall measure of kidney function and as such it forms the basis of definition and classification system for CKD.

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1979
ABSTRACT Creatinine clearance and daily urinary albumin and β2‐microglobulin excretion rates (radio‐immunoassays) were measured several times in 14 patients with acromegaly. Eleven patients were treated with bromocriptine, 5 to 55 mg/day. The activity of the disease was assessed by measuring urinary growth hormone excretion (radio‐immunoassay).In ...

Assessing kidney function--measured and estimated glomerular filtration rate.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2006In the coming years, estimates of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may replace the measurement of serum creatinine as the primary tool for the assessment of kidney function.

AbstractA bolus injection of Gadopentetate Dimeglumine with dynamic gradient echo MR imaging has allowed for the visualization of normal and abnormal renal function. Following an injection of gadopentetate dimeglumine, NMR T1 relaxation times obtained on serial collections of serum and urine at timed intervals were used to derive the glomerular ...

The Function of the Kidneys [PDF]
, 1989 The role of the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for controlling the fluids of the body. They ensure that the extracellular fluid bathing the cells has a constant composition and volume, guaranteeing that the conditions under which the cells operate are as uniform and as nearly optimal as possible.

Functional MR imaging of the kidney has a great potential of development because the functional parameters, which can be approached noninvasively, are multiple: glomerular filtration, tubular concentration and transit, blood volume and perfusion, diffusion, and oxygenation. Until now, its limitations in clinical applications are due to the difficulties

Kidney function in the octopus
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1965Abstract 1. 1. Analyses are presented of the inorganic composition of the blood, pericardial fluid and kidney sac urine of Octopus dofleini . 2. 2. The pericardial fluid has the composition to be expected of an ultrafiltrate of the blood but the kidney sac urine is modified by both resorption and secretion. 3. 3. At low or moderate blood

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the functional attributes of kidney. The role of the kidneys in maintaining life is a composite of several functions. Water and electrolyte balance is controlled by the kidney by conservation in times of decreased intake or excess extrarenal loss, and by excretion in instances of excessive intake.
