Kidneys

The ureter joins the kidney at an area called the renal pelvis.

Urine and erythropoietin; a hormone that tells the bone marrow to produce red blood cells.

More often: having to urinate often (urinary frequency). Also seen: painful urination (dysuria), inability to hold your urine (urinary incontinence) or inability to urinate at all (urinary retention) . All of these are very rare.

blood in your pee or kidney stones but you should talk to a doctor and get tested
Large amounts of thin urine, nocturia.

mesoderm

The mesoderm forms: skeletal muscle, the skeleton, the dermis of skin, connective tissue, the urogenital system, the heart, blood (lymph cells), the kidney, and the spleen.

renal disease in which substances from the immune response to the streptococcus bacterium collect in the capillary network of the nephron

Mitochondria are needed in order to supply the energy for the active transport of sodium ions out of the cells in the proximal tubule to create a concentration gradient which allows more sodium ions to enter the cell from the luminal side.
Water passively follows the sodium out of the cell along its concentration gradient.

Every human has a pair of bean shaped organs behind the abdominal cavity called the Kidneys. We would have two of them on either side of our abdominal cavity.

Kidneys are one of the most important organs in the human body, which is extremely essential for the proper functioning of the body.

The main purpose of the kidneys is to clean up our blood system. When blood reaches the kidneys, it filters our blood of all unwanted ingredients and releases pure/clean blood back into our system. As a result of this cleaning, the kidney releases urea or urine into our urinary bladder. Though, the kidneys are relatively very small when compared to a heart, it can receive and clean up nearly 20% of the blood that the heart pumps at any given time.

One kidney is more than sufficient for a human body to function in a healthy manner but still every human has a pair...

Some diseases associated with kidneys are:

* Kidney stones * Renal failure * Lupus Nephritis * Kidney tumors * Multicystic dysplastic kidney * Renal dysplasia

* etc...

The renal corpuscle also known as the Malpighian corpuscle.

The range of conditions considered "kidney problems" is wide, with great variation in prognosis. Ask your primary care provider for advice specific to your situation.

The collecting ducts are a series of small tubes inside the kidneys that funnel urine into therenal pelvis for drainage into the ureter. Once in the ureter, the urine can be pushed into the bladder for elimination. The structure of the kidneys is quite complex and includes a large number of these tubes in an interconnected drainage system. People with urinary tract disorders can potentially develop problems along part of the collecting ducts, and a kidney collecting duct issue can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating and edema.

Renal ectopia or ectopic kidney describes a kidney that is not located in its usual position. Ectopic kidneys are thought to occur in approximately one in 1,000 births, but only about one in 10 of these are ever diagnosed. Some of these are discovered incidentally, such as when a child or adult is having surgery or an X-ray for a medical condition unrelated to the renal ectopia. Ectopic kidneys can be located anywhere along the path of their usual ascent from where they initially form to where normal kidneys lie in the upper abdomen. Simple renal ectopia refers to a kidney that is located on the proper side but is in an abnormal position. Crossed renal ectopia refers to a kidney that has crossed from the left to the right side (or vice versa) so that both kidneys are located on the same side of the body. These kidneys may or may not be fused. It is important to note that renal ectopia is frequently associated with congenital abnormalities of other organ systems. SYMPTOMS: The function of the kidney itself is generally not abnormal to begin with, but because of the change in the usual anatomic relationships, the kidney may have difficulty draining. Up to 50 percent of ectopic kidneys are at least partially blocked. Over time, obstruction can lead to serious complications, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones and kidney failure. Ectopic kidneys are also associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a condition where urine backs up from the bladder through the ureters into the kidneys. Over time, VUR can lead to infections that also can destroy the kidney. Interestingly, the non-ectopic kidney can also have functional abnormalities such as obstruction or VUR. The most common symptoms related to the ectopic kidney that lead to diagnosis include urinary tract infections, abdominal pain or a lump that can be felt in the abdomen. TREATMENT Treatment for the ectopic kidney is only necessary if obstruction or vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is present. If the kidney is not severely damaged by the time the abnormality is discovered, the obstruction can be relieved or the VUR corrected with an operation. However, if the kidney is badly scarred and not working well, removing it may be the best choice. It is possible to live a normal life after removal of a kidney provided that the remaining kidney functions well.

Based on the source of donated kidney, kidney transplant can be classified as deceased donor or living donor transplant.

Answer:

To the question of HOW a kidney transplant is done.

The donor kidney will be extracted including part of the urinary tract and vein/arteries. The blood is extracted from the kidney and it is flushed clean. Then transported on ice to where the recipient is. The donor kidney is transplanted into the person in their lower abdomen. They join the veins/artery etc to the recipients, having disconnected them from the existing bad kidney. They do not take out the recipients bad kidneys (unless it has tumour) but leaves them there, as no point in performing unnecessary surgery.

There is a problem with the kidneys as there should be no blood in the urine.

No, there is no connection between IUDs and the kidney. An IUD is placed in the uterus1, which has no pathway to the kidney.

Because your Kidneys filter waste out of your blood. The waste is then carried to the bladder and expelled from the body as urine.

The normal human kidney has about a million nephrons, but that number can vary widely. There has been research that shows a relationship between having significantly fewer nephrons and having hypertension.
