Severe acute kidney injury associated with immersion into seawater
Near drowning is an important, but rarely reported precipitant of acute kidney injury (AKI). The underlying pathophysiology is thought to be ischaemic kidney injury, but diagnostic uncertainty has arisen due to reports of isolated AKI in the absence of ...

Human renal and systemic hemodynamic, natriuretic, and neurohumoral responses to different doses of L-NAME [PDF]
Experimental evidence indicates that the renal circulation is more sensitive to the effects of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis inhibition than other vascular beds. To explore whether in men the NO-mediated vasodilator tone is

Does kidney function matter in pulmonary thromboembolism management?
Cardiovascular circulation and kidney function are closely interrelated. The impairment of renal function is a well-known hazard of increased mortality and morbidity of patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease. Acute pulmonary embolism (APE)

Renal pericytes: regulators of medullary blood flow [PDF]
Regulation of medullary blood flow (MBF) is essential in maintaining normal kidney function. Blood flow to the medulla is supplied by the descending vasa recta (DVR), which arise from the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli.
