The Kidney and Uremic Toxin Removal: Glomerulus or Tubule? [PDF]

open access: greenSeminars in Nephrology, 2014
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition that affects approximately 10% of the adult population in developed countries. In patients with CKD adequate renal clearance is compromised, resulting in the accumulation of a plethora of uremic solutes.

Multiple efferent arterioles of the human kidney glomerulus as observed by scanning electron microscopy of vascular casts.

open access: diamondArchivum histologicum Japonicum = Nihon soshikigaku kiroku, 1985
About three thousand resin vascular casts of human renal glomeruli were examined with a scanning electron microscope, and two extremely rare glomeruli with quadruple or quintuple efferent arterioles were found.

Subcellular localization of glucocorticoid receptor protein in the human kidney glomerulus. [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 1999
The detailed mechanisms of glucocorticoid action in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and progressive glomerulonephritides have not been clearly elucidated. The pharmacological actions of glucocorticoids are mediated by their binding to an intracellular protein, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR).

Segmental HOG: new descriptor for glomerulus detection in kidney microscopy image [PDF]

open access: goldBMC Bioinformatics, 2015
The detection of the glomeruli is a key step in the histopathological evaluation of microscopic images of the kidneys. However, the task of automatic detection of the glomeruli poses challenges owing to the differences in their sizes and shapes in renal sections as well as the extensive variations in their intensities due to heterogeneity in ...

Transcriptional profiling of the kidney glomerulus

open access: green, 2010
The kidney glomerulus plays a crucial role in ultraltration of the blood through the glomerular capillary wall. Glomerulus injury may occur in many systemic and primary kidney diseases or as secondary eects to drugs and infections. It has been shown that many known glomerular specic/enriched genes play crucial roles in the maintenance of glomerular ...
