Kidneys

YES! A very weird situation has to happen though. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out, a line drive is caught by the 2nd baseman. The runner on 3rd runs on contact (without tagging). The runner on 2nd can't get back to the base. Instead of just tagging 2nd base for the 3rd out, the 2nd baseman runs after the runner and tags him AFTER the runner on 3rd touches home. When the 2nd baseman went after the runner, it became a "pickle" situation. The other runner's run counts (if it was scored before the tag) unless the defense appeals to 3rd where the runner left early and therefore would be the 4th out. Confusing, but true. 1st out- before the situation 2nd out- Caught line drive 3rd out- tag of runner 4th out- appeal to 3rd where runner left early.

In the US, I do not believe that it is 'illegal,' per se, to sell your kidney. However it is legally and ethically unlawful for anyone to harvest a healthy kidney from your body for a "for profit" SALE to another party. This, of course, excludes the donation of a kidney to a loved one or, as an act of charity, a recepient specified by the kidney donor.

Glomerular filtration rate is the rate at which fluid is filtered by the kidneys.

The normal rate for humans is 125mL/min or 180L/day. The fluid that is filtered (and not reabsorbed later) is excreted as urine.

The average weight for a healthy, human kidney is 120-140 grams. 1 pound= 453.59237 grams. So, the average weight for a healthy, human kidney is 0.26-0.30 pounds. (approx.)

The kidneys are organs. They belong to the excretory (organ) system.

The kidneys are part of the excretory system. They filter the blood, and remove water-soluble wastes which are diverted to the bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete nitrogenous wastes such as urea and ammonium.

Kidney's don't fully cease functioning when they fail, but neither are they effective at doing their purpose in the body (cleaning wastes out of the blood stream). Complete kidney failure occurs when both kidneys are incapable of functioning.

It really depends on a lot of things, such as whether the kidney failure was caused by diabetes and high blood pressure, which in the US, at least, are the major causes of end-stage renal disease, and whether your wife is on dialysis yet or not.

In general, you will want to limit consumption of foods that are high in sodium (because they increase blood pressure and tend to make you retain fluid), phosphorus, potassium, and if she isn't yet on dialysis, protein. Working kidneys can regulate the levels of these minerals, but if they fail, they will build up quickly to toxic, even fatal, levels. Even dialysis doesn't filter these out all the way, which is why you have to limit intake. In addition to limiting intake of high phosphorus/high potassium foods, she may be given a prescription for binders. These are medications she will have to take with every meal to make sure her body doesn't absorb most of the phosphorus in the food she eats; there are also potassium binders, but generally you would only use those if for some reason there was an emergency and it would be a few days before you could get another treatment in. If your wife has stopped producing urine, her fluid intake will be restricted as well - and by fluids, I don't just mean things like water, coffee, etc. I also mean soups, ice, ice cream, pudding, even watermelon will be severely cut back.

If she is on dialysis (or will be very soon), one of the first people she will meet at the dialysis center is the nutritionist. They are specifically trained to deal with the limitations of the renal diet, more so than the nutritionist you may find at your local hospital. When my husband's dialysis center sends his monthly bloodwork results in the mail, the nutritionist often will send out recipes or reminders to avoid high amounts of certain foods.

One VERY important thing that this list omits...never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, allow your wife to eat starfruit (also known as carambola), or drink starfruit juice, especially if she is on dialysis. Starfruit, for some reason that is currently unknown, is fatally toxic to people with kidney disease.

you will die

They are symmetrical in terms of the shape however the right kidney is a little smaller as it shares space with the liver, which also pushes it lower down than the left kidney

There ard two separste diseases spelled similar. Buerger's which affects extremities via swelling of veins and arteries and burger's which is disease of thd kidneys unto itself

it is just old blood,its normal.

Increase in permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to an increase in the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Aquaporins are constant components of the tubule cells membranes. Unless ADH is present, aquaporins are virtually absent in the luminal membranes of the collecting duct.

Humans have a pair of kidneys. If one is malfunction, the other still will work.

However if both are malfunctuion, then there is nothing in the body that will cleanse the blood. Or rather, there is no way that the body will regulate the blood and rid of it's waste products that is constantly being stored in the body. The kidneys also have other functions such as regulating homeostasis, blood pressure and etc...

In renal failure, filtrate formation decreases or stops completely. Ionic and pH imbalances build up and wastes accumulate quickly in the blood. At this point, the treatment options are hemodialysis or a kidney transplant. Hemodialysis uses an artificial kidney to cleanse the blood.

Autoregulation. You're welcome :)
