Functional Anatomy of the Kidney
Hospital Practice, 1978Initiating a new series of articles on renal function in health and disease, this article describes the ultrastructure of the kidney's basic unit, the nephron, as revealed in recent years by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. With greater appreciation of its morphology and cellular architecture has come new understanding of the functional ...

In all terrestrial vertebrates the kidney excretes water, salts, nitrogenous waste, and hydrogen ions; and it also produces hormones. This chapter is divided in three main sections on excretion of salt and water, action of antidiuretic hormones, and nitrogen excretion.

The renal parenchyma consists of two main regions, externally the cortex and internally the medulla. The lobate structure of the organ in man is still detectable in the 8 to 12 or more renal pyramids. These are formed by the conical masses of medullary substance. The apex of each pyramid is directed toward the renal pelvis and bears the openings of the

Pragmatic Use of Kidney Function Estimates for Drug Dosing: The Tide Is Turning.
Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2018Creatinine clearance has been the most common method of estimating kidney function for the purpose of drug dosing for decades. The availability and extensive clinical use of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) now provides clinicians a potential ...

The iodinated contrast agents used for computed tomography (CT) are filtered at the glomerulus and not reabsorbed by the tubules and have pharmacokinetics comparable to inulin. They can thus measure physiological indices such as contrast clearance per unit volume, which is closely related to glomerular filtration rate per unit renal volume of kidney ...

Functional Imaging of the Kidney
2010Functional imaging of the kidney, using radiological techniques, has a great potential of development because the functional parameters that can be approached noninvasively are multiple. CT can provide measurement of perfusion and glomerular filtration but has the inconvenience of delivering irradiation and potential nephrotoxicity due to iodine agents
