Kidneys
The kidneys serve many purposes. They regulate electrolytes, blood pressure, and acid levels. They also help to filter the blood.

How does the Adrenal Glands work with the kidneys?
it doesnt; it works by itself. the gland produces corticosteriods and adrenaline to deal and prepare for stress.
What is secreted by the kidney?
The kidneys secrete urine as a waste product. Urine is a solution composed of water, urea, ammonia, bicarbonate and excess electrolytes.
Can you play football with enlarged kidneys?
No you can't because there is a risk of them failing and you getting in a serious condition which is unstable and unsafe yes with your mom yes with your mom
What kidney complications are associated with AP?
Kidney failure may occur due to widespread obstruction of the capillaries in the filtering structures called glomeruli. Kidney failure develops in about 5% of all patients, and in 15% of those with elevated blood or protein in the urine.
What is the glomerus and in which tissue of the kidney is this part of the nephron located?
The glomerus a capillary tuft which receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation. Its blood pressure provides the power to force fluids and solutes to be filtered out of the blood into the space made by the Bowman's capsule. The remaining unfiltered blood passes into the narrower efferent arteriole. It then moves into the vasa recta, the collecting capillaries intertwined with the convoluted tubules through the interstitial space where the reabsorbed substances also enter. It then joins with the efferent venules of the other nephrons into the renal vein before rejoining with the main bloodstream.
What are the parts of the kidney?
The outer, reddish region, next to the capsule, is the renal cortex. This surrounds a darker reddish-brown region called the renal medulla. The renal medulla consists of a series of renal pyramids, which appear striated because they contain straight tubular structures and blood vessels. The wide bases of the pyramids are adjacent to the cortex and the pointed ends, called renal papillae, are directed toward the center of the kidney. Portions of the renal cortex extend into the spaces between adjacent pyramids to form renal columns. The cortex and medulla make up the parenchyma, or functional tissue, of the kidney. The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus and is continuous with the ureter. The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. The periphery of the renal pelvis is interrupted by cuplike projections called calyces. A minor calyx surrounds the renal papillae of each pyramid and collects urine from that pyramid. Several minor calyces converge to form a major calyx. From the major calyces the urine flows into the renal pelvis and from there into the ureter.
Each kidney contains over a million functional units, called nephrons, in the parenchyma (cortex and medulla). The nephrons make up the bulk of the kidney tissue and join up with larger collecting tubes that eventually form the main urine-carrying duct - the ureter Each kidney has an indentation, called the hilum, on the medial side. The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum.
Malphigian body can be further divided into glomerulus and bowman's capsule,whereas renal tubules can be divided into proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule.
The process of the kidney taking out the impurities from the blood?
The kidney removes impurities from the blood in two ways. These processes are known as ultra filtration and selective reabsorption. The active component of the kidney involved with filtration is the nephron.
What is the relationship between your kidneys and your hearing?
The ear and kidney have a similar shape
Kidney disease is affected by the potassium in the orangen not salt levels. Oranges do not contain any sodium. Kidneys help to keep potassium at a normal level. If your potassium is too high or low, you could have very serious to deadly health issues.
Potassium is a mineral that controls muscle and nerve function. Your heart is a muscle and its rhythm can be affected by increased or decreased potassium levels.
Will robaxin damage your kidneys?
Kidney damage is unlikely. However, people with impaired kidney or liver function (such as alcoholics) should not take methocarbamol because it will not be cleared from the system properly and the buildup can and will cause overdose reactions. This is especially true if it is taken with alcohol.
Methocarbamol is a central nervous system depressant, and it is dangerous to take it in conjunction with any depressant drugs including alcohol.
How does aldosterone get to the kidneys?
Aldosterone is a hormone, so it gets to the kidneys via the blood stream.
Fluoride rinse bad for kidneys?
yes it is. I used ACT rinse for about 15 years. I developed severe back pain which I mistook for cancer or a messed up spine. I forgot to buy the rinse for a month. Pain went away. I bought some rinse and used it. The very next day the pain returned. Haven't used the rinse since and have been kidney-pain free for about 10 years.
What is opening from the pelvis of the kidney to the exterior of the body is known as?
nephrostomy

What can help a dog with kidney disease?
Probably the same things that help humans with kidney disease, as the structure of the kidney is similar. Some of these things are:
- Always make sure the dog has access to water
- Reduce the amount of protein in the dogs diet (kidney disease results in animal protein not being as quickly processed, and toxins build up in the blood)
In humans, drugs such as ACE inhibitors and sometimes steroids are used in kidney disease treatment. These options are at the discretion of the veterinarian.
It depends some mollusks may or may not have kidneys. Usually they have 2 kidneys.
If the right kidney is failing why would you put a stint in the left kidney?
when your right kidney is failing you put a stint in the left because, well, i forget the rest but your mother is a whore
What food is better for a kidney patient?
If you're having a kidney removed, best thing to eat is many sheep kidneys, as in Mexico, this has been proven to adapt the body into the idea of kidney-refluxiladin, which effectively means a kurn-over in terms of human-kidney-behaviouring scales.
The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs electrolytes, plasma, proteins, nutrients, vitamins, and water.
Can you have a Kidney transplantation after kidney cancer?
You can but it would be pointless because it would have already spread around the body.
Please ask your doctor or a kidney specialist for advice about this.
Assuming the cancer is only in the kidney and has not spread further, a kidney transplant can be done. The anti-rejection drugs the person would need to take after transplant may have the effect of increasing the rate of growth of any cancers in the person's body so it is likely that the person would need to wait for some time to ensure the cancer has not spread before having a transplant and taking anti-rejection drugs.
Who are likely donors of kidney for kidneys transplants?
The most likely kidney donors are immediate family.
One of the main jobs of the kidneys is to filterthe waste out of the blood.
