Kidneys

Kidneys aren't that well protected, and sometimes get sick all of their own. With two, you can lose one and not suffer much, with one, it gets a lot more important to to keep if healthy and functioning.

When your kidney is dried it means that it doesn't have that much fluid in it so you have to continue to drink lots of water and go to the hospital

it also means that your going to be vomiting a lot if it gets to that stage when you feel sick then your seriously have to get it checked by a doctor.

Yes,Polycystic kidney disease causes many cysts (fluid-filled sacs) to develop in the kidneys. The most common type is an inherited condition called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). With ADPKD, problems commonly do not develop until the age of 30-50, with some people never developing any problems. The two common problems that develop are high blood pressure and kidney failure. About half of people with ADPKD develop kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant by the age of 60.

Horseshoe kidney is not a sexually transmitted disease. If you have horseshoe kidney, then you were born with it.

The kidneys do not have any skeletal muscle tissue but there is smooth muscle in the blood vessels contained in the kidney. So technically, kidneys have some muscle tissue or cells. The kidneys are a complex organ with many types of cells including epithelial cells that make up the tubules of the filtration system, interstitial cells that fill the spaces between the tubules, mesangial cells which are located at the junction between the vascular and tubule system and then of course the cells that make up the arteries and veins including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and adventitial fibrobalst cells.

You honestly don't want to wait until they have degenerated enough to know. A doctor can answer that question better than I can, but can not tell you how to get them working again.

My kidneys and liver took a heavy beating when I had pre-eclampsia with my second pregnancy. For a year after my kidneys hurt when I slept on my back, and whenever I failed to drink exorbitant amounts of water. Sleeping on my left side was my only relief. It has been proven the kidneys work best in that position. My eyes were a little yellow and bloodshot. I was really suscetible to UTI's. I had other issues. My Dr ordered a 24 hour urine test. The results were very bad, but a kidney specialist happily took my money to say that I was too young and healthy to really have kidney problems, even though the tests indicated something was wrong.

I took that to mean if I wanted to not be sick anymore it was up to me. I learned about the helpfulness of fresh raw carrot juice in cleansing the whole body of impurities and actually supporting kidney health. I also learned that eating large amounts of meat and cheese is high in uric acid which irritates the kidneys. I gradually replaced meat and cheese with easier to digest proteins like eggs, yogurt, beans and whole grains, and especially raw nuts and seeds. I ate a raw spinach salad almost every day- there are infinite delights to combine with it. I did not eat any cooked spinach as that releases oxalic acid- which is very hard on the kidneys. Fresh raw carrot juice became a part of my morning routine 1-2 hour before breakfast. Bananas, apples, healthy snacks. Skipping meals for lack of "healthy" food though was not an option. That can be even more damaging to kidneys and your entire body.

My body is healthier than it has ever been and I get tons of compliments. No more dark circles and zombie-like expression. No more repeat infections. No more pain, no more digestive problems. If you are curious read "Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices" by Norman W. Walker- which is a Chemist's explanation of how our bodies respond to different types of nutrients and the optimal fuel for them. Barley Green, and Juice Plus Supplements are modern options along the same line of thought that have met with incredible success.

function of the kidney-purifies the blood,maintainence of electrolyte balance,formation of urine.

It is a mutated gene called PKD1 located on chromosome 16.

Maybe you should take a pregnancy test!

A surgeon will perform any kind of surgery depending on their speciality, however, the Urologist may (and most likely will) be an Oncologist as well, Oncologists being the type of surgeon who specialise in invase surgery related to the urinary tract.

facultative water reabsorption is the reabsorption of water in the kidneys that is under the hormonal control of ADH (anti diuretic hormone)

The amount of water reabsorbed is dependant on how much the body needs to reabsorb to maintain homeostasis and fluid balance.

You have to go to the place where grim is (in Marquee row or orchid bay) and keep swimming in the ocean and you will get to Camp Kidney. My player's name is sky titan-dasher. Friend me if this helps!

The kidneys do many jobs.

One primary function is to filter the toxins out of the blood to produce urine which can be expelled from the body.

They also regulate blood pressure, metabolise certain substances and secrete hormones such as EPO.

Osmolarity is greatest in the innermost portion of the medulla near the renal pelvis due to the osmotic gradient. As one goes deeper into the renal medulla, the osmotic gradient increase. The osmolarity varies from 300 mOsm at the edge of the medulla to the innermost at approximately 1200-1400 mOsm. Think of the movie, Silence of the Lamb, when Anthony Hopkins eats that kidney, as he eat closer and closer to the kidney, it get salter.

The medullary osmotic gradient is used for water reabsorption in the collecting duct, when ADH is present, thus increasing blood volume and result in increasing blood pressure.

Kidney failure and damage to red blood cells cause 15% of patients deaths and half the survivors develop chronic kidney failure, requiring dialysis.

The juxtamedullary complex is also called the juxtaglomerular capsule, and it functions in the kidneys to do filtration. Another name for it is the Bowman's capsule.

Waste fluids are normally collected by the medullary pyramids of the kidney. Urine usually passes through here into the renal papilla on the way to the renal pelvis and then the ureter. The papilla is part of the system that carries urine to the outside from the kidney.

I think they stop working propaly but I don't think it killes you

This question is slightly imprecise in its phrasing. All human cells and organs contain protein, so it is inevitable that kidneys contain protein; you cannot have kidneys without protein. However, what you are probably thinking of is the protein albumen, leaking from the kidneys into the urine. That is a sign of kidney damage, probably caused by a kidney stone.

When you make a donation to any charitable cause it is good to know how your money will be used. In the case of the National Kidney Foundation most of the funds raised will go towards education, patient assistance, research, and early detection.

Kidneys tend to fail because of damage to the nephrons, which causes them to filter less effectivley or even cease to filter at all. Nephrons can fail quickly due to poisoning or injury Kidneys tend to fail because of damage to the nephrons, which causes them to filter less effectivley or even cease to filter at all.

There aren't really any advantages over a kidney transplant, as dialysis is used to keep patients alive while they wait for a transplant. Patients are always on the waiting list for a transplant, which shows that there isn't really any benefit.
