Kidney failure. This may sometimes be reversed, and patients can be assisted by dialysis for a time, but complete failure needs a transplant.

A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle. so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.
What is expelling urine for renal cell carcinoma called?

If your kidneys fail will you die?
yup. one way to classify types of kidney failure is the physical area the problem starts. ill name them and put examples... Pre-renal (renal means kidney, Pre means before): - not enough blood flow to kidneys causing cells to die. this can happen by physical obstruction of the vessels or even if the person does not have enough blood left in thier body. intra-renal (intra means within): -rhabdomyolysis for example is when by products of muscle get into the functional parts of your kidneys, the bowmans capsule. these by products block up the filtering part of your kidneys, and nothing can pass through, causing build up of toxins in the body. Post-renal (post means after): - kidney stones, prostatic hyperplasia (swollen prostate), and any physical obstructions can prevent urine from passing and build up pressure in the kidneys. the kidneys depend on a very delicate balance of physical pressure and osmotic pressure to selectively filter out toxins. a physical blockage can increase the pressure and prevent the kidneys from filtering out toxins. leading to a build up in the body. the increased pressure can also damage the kidney, so after the blockage is cleared, some damage can be done. To be clear, it would have to be one hell of a kidney stone! most pass very painfully, but they do pass. jason RN, EMT-A

How do you differentiate between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
Acute renal failure is a rapid and sudden loss of kidney function, often caused by factors like dehydration or medication reactions. Chronic renal failure is a gradual and irreversible decline in kidney function over time, usually causing irreversible damage to the kidneys. Measurements of kidney function such as creatinine levels and glomerular filtration rate can help differentiate between the two conditions.
What are the symptons of chronic renal failiure?
the symptoms is the side of your kidney aches and you are having a hard time in urinating.
Icd-9 for renal failure?
There are different stages of renal failure. The final stage of renal failure is also known as ESRD, or End Stage Renal Disease. The ICD-9 code for this is 585.6.
What is The condition also known as uremic poisoning?
kidney failure which may b acute or chronic
What is the medical term meaning liver failure?
Renal failure (although I'm pretty sure kidney failure would suffice). To be honest, as a medical term Kidney Failure is "medical" enough. If you want to be a bit more medical then you would want to say Renal Failure. And then depending on whether it's acute or chronic then you would want to say Acute Renal Failure or Chronic Renal Failure. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is another term. And just in case you're interested, it used to called Renal Insufficiency but that term is not really used anymore.
How NSAIDS cause renal failure?
NSAIDS can induce two forms of acute renal failure: 1. Haemodynamically mediated 2. Acute interstitial nephritis Haemodynamically mediated: Renal prostaglandins are vasodilators, but do not play a major role in renal haemodynamics in healthy patients and the basal rate is relatively low. When there is underlying disease, such as heart failure, cirrhosis or volume depletion, the levels of hormone: PGs are increased and they act as vasodilators to ensure adequate renal flow and GFR. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis with an NSAID in such patients can lead to reversible renal ischemia, a ↓ in GFR and acute renal failure. NSAIDs also produce interstitial nephritis with or without nephrotic syndrome secondary to minimal change disease. Although this presents as acute renal failure, it can progress in some cases to chronic renal failure. NSAIDs increase the risk of developing heart failure in patients with a history of HTN, DM or renal failure, particularly in the first month of use.
What is the medical term meaning the loss of renal function which may be acute or current and lead to uremia?
Kidney failure is the medical term meaning loss of renal function. It may also be called end stage renal disease late in the process.
What are the adjectives for kidney?
The medical adjective for the kidneys is renal. The adjective nephric can also refer to the kidneys and their related tissues.
What is Acute Renal Failure?
End-stage renal disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD), specifically the fifth stage of CKD.The fifth stage of chronic kidney disease can be termed as a complete kidney failure. The GFR is below 15 ml/min and in some cases the patient may have a GFR of 0 ml/min. Headache and change in skin color add to the symptoms that already exist in the fourth stage. With the failure of kidneys, the urination of the patient decreases to little or almost nil. A kidney transplant is the most recommended treatment at the fourth stage of CKD, though the patient may be kept on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis for a certain period of time. And there are micro-chinese medicine and stem cell transplant for end stage renal failure.They can treat renal failure.
What is the most common disease of the kidneys?
Diabetes is one of the main diseases that affects the kidneys the most. High blood pressure can also damage the kidneys and then there are specific diseases that only target the kidneys as well. Hyponatremia, Hypernatremia, Hypolsalemin, Hyperlsalimia, Hematuria, Proteinuria, chronic kidney disease., UTI, kidney cancer, kidney stones, nephritis, renal failure, glomerulonephritis, and others.
