Someone wrote something really mean here, so I erased it! I'm still discovering the consequences of having 3 kidneys.
My family has a history of extra organs. They all live very long and full lives (many over 100 years!). Some of my friends that know my condition call me "Klingon" because of the star treck reference to "Worf's" extra organs. I think it's funny and their jealous. I should have died after an appendix blew, I didn't.
If your kidneys all have the adrenal glands that sit on top as well, make sure you have an adrenal test. It's not simple, but it can explain many symptoms caused by adrenal troubles. Most doctors miss it. Mine mised it for ten years. Some doctor's grades are public knowledge if you know where to look. Don't go to a doctor who only "passed" his/her exams. Go to a Doctor Who is curious and wants to help you.
What else can I help you with?
Why does renal failure lead to hyperprolactinemia?
Renal failure and cirrhosis cause delayed clearance of prolactin as it is metabolized by both the kidney and liver the serum prolactin concentration is high in patients who have chronic renal failure and returns to normal after renal transplantation . The major mechanism is a three-fold increase in prolactin secretion, and there is a one-third decrease in metabolic clearance rate
What are the reasions for Renal failure?
Renal failure can occur due to various reasons, which can be broadly categorized into three types: acute and chronic. Acute renal failure may result from conditions such as dehydration, severe infections, or the use of certain medications that affect kidney function. Chronic renal failure is often caused by long-term conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis that damage the kidneys over time. Other contributing factors include obstructive uropathy and systemic diseases like lupus or polycystic kidney disease.
What are the different types of dysphasia?
Dysphagia is the clinical term for difficulty in swallowing. There are three different types: oropharyngeal, esophageal, and functional. Failure to diagnose dysphagia can result in malnutrition, dehydration, and renal failure.
What is samoyed hereditary glomerulopathy?
Samoyed Hereditary Glomerulopathy is a genetic disease that more severely affects males. Male dogs appear healthy for the first three months of life, but then the dog becomes lethargic and begins to go into renal failure. Death from renal failure usually occurs by 15 months of age.
What are the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
renal cortex > renal medulla > renal pelvis1.renal medulla>renal pelvis>renal cortex2.renal medulla>renal cortex>renal pelvis3.renal cortex>renal medulla>renal pelvis4.renal cortex>renal pelvis>renal medulla
What can you tell me about hemodialysis?
In medicine, hemodialysis is a method that is used to achieve the extracorporeal removal of waste products such ascreatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of renal failure. Hemodialysis is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being renal transplant and peritoneal dialysis). An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.
What three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
The three main regions of the kidney, in order from the outermost to the innermost, are the renal cortex, renal medulla, and renal pelvis. The renal cortex is the outer layer where filtration occurs, while the renal medulla contains the renal pyramids and is involved in urine concentration. Finally, the renal pelvis is the innermost region that collects urine before it flows into the ureter.
Cat with enlarged kidney I have a five year old male cat with enlarged kidney What is the cause of this?
Renal (kidney) failure is very common with cats - three times more so than with dogs.
What describes the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to enter most?
The three main regions of the kidney, from outermost to innermost, are the renal cortex, renal medulla, and renal pelvis. The renal cortex is the outer layer that contains the glomeruli and convoluted tubules. The renal medulla lies beneath the cortex and consists of renal pyramids that house the loops of Henle and collecting ducts. Finally, the renal pelvis is the innermost region, serving as a funnel for urine to flow from the kidneys to the ureter.
What are the three stages of production?
1.glomerular filtration by the glomeruli2.tubular reabsorption by the renal tubules3.tubular secretion by the renal tubules
What are the Sections of the kidney?
cortex, medulla, and pelvis.The substance, or parenchyma, of the kidney is divided into two major structures: superficial is the renal cortex and deep is the renal medulla.cortex and medullaCortex, medulla, and pelvis.
What is the tissue called that covers the kidneys?
The tissue that covers the kidneys is a connective tissue. There are actually three layers of tissue that covers the kidneys, the renal fascia, adipose capsule, and renal capsule.
