Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary blood flow via vasa recta pericytes [PDF]
, 2013 Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins. We have previously shown that exogenous ATP causes constriction of vasa

Severe acute kidney injury associated with immersion into seawater
Cogent Medicine, 2017 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 ...

Renal pericytes: regulators of medullary blood flow [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Effect of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Renal Resistive Index in Diabetic Nephropathy Patients: A Quasi-experimental Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic ResearchIntroduction: Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is a frequent and severe complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) that often progresses to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Renal Resistive Index (RI) and Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) are valuable

Does kidney function matter in pulmonary thromboembolism management?
Cardiology Journal, 2022 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)

The Kurume Medical Journal, 1975 The method to prepare reno-vascular castings for scanning electron microscopy was described. This new devised method, a frozen cracking of the vascular casts following resin injection, made it possible to observe easily and distinctly the normal renal microcirculation including pentubular and glomerular capillary architecture.
