Renal means related to kidneys. Kidneys are very sensitive to hypotension. That is to low blood pressure. Kidneys have to wash out the waste products of protein metabolism. They are very much toxic to the brain. Your kidneys are very small in size, but still get very heavy blood supply. Kidneys filter out about 180 litres of fluid per day. That is the need of the hour. In case of hypotension, this function will be adversely affected. So kidneys secrete the hormone to maintain the blood pressure.
The word "renal" means "of or pertaining to the kidneys."
The walls of the renal artery are thicker and more muscular compared to the other vessels located at the hilus region, such as the renal veins and smaller arteries. This increased thickness is due to the renal artery's role in carrying high-pressure blood directly from the heart to the kidneys. In contrast, the renal veins have thinner walls as they transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart at a lower pressure. Additionally, the renal artery has more elastic tissue to accommodate the pulsatile flow of blood, while the veins are more compliant to adjust to varying blood volumes.
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
The renal hilum is a structure found posterior to the renal vascular pedicle. It is the area where the renal artery enters and the renal vein and ureter exit the kidney.
The cortical tissues located between the pyramids are the renal cortex and renal columns. The renal cortex contains the glomeruli and convoluted tubules involved in the initial stages of urine formation, while the renal columns are extensions of the cortex that separate the renal pyramids.
Decreased renal function and hypotension and can lead to shock
Hypotension is more commonly known as low blood pressure. There may be many celebrities that have it and are not public about it we do know the Sanjay Dutt suffers from hypotension.
In the context of hypotension, orthostatic hypotension is the same as postural hypotension.
Yes Hypotension often causes excessive sleep. Excessive sleep often causes puffiness of the face.
Postural hypotension
Renal cell carcinoma is cancer of the kidneys. There are four main types of renal cell carcinoma, clear renal carcinoma , granular renal cell carcinoma, mixed granular renal cell carcinoma and spindle renal cell carcinoma
Seroquel (quetiapine) overdose can lead to renal failure primarily due to its sedative effects and potential for causing severe hypotension, which can reduce renal perfusion and lead to acute kidney injury. Additionally, the overdose may result in metabolic disturbances, such as rhabdomyolysis or dehydration, both of which can further impair kidney function. The accumulation of the drug itself and its metabolites can also be nephrotoxic, exacerbating renal damage. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to mitigate these risks.
This is called hypotension.
Comparative: more sensitive Superlative: most sensitive
Yes, because the kidneys filter the blood carried by the renal arteries.
I'm not sure what you mean by "more medical". Renal means having to do with the kidneys, and calculus is Latin for "pebble". Renal calculi are, therefore, "kidney stones" ... but I don't see how that's "more medical."
Niacin supplements should not be taken by anyone on medication for high blood pressure, due to the potential for hypotension.
