A comprehensive new review by researchers at the University of Kentucky sheds light on the intricate and damaging ...

The involvement of kidney in glucose regulation involves three different pathways: glucose release from renal cortex via gluconeogenesis; glucose uptake and glycolysis from renal medulla for ...

In adults and in children older than 2–3 months, the renal cortex is normally less echogenic than the liver parenchyma. Some researchers have suggested that hyperechogenicity of the renal cortex ...

Abstracts featured at the National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting highlighted the renoprotective benefits of SGLT2 ...

Renal progenitor cells and kidney growth As outlined above, nephrons form continuously at the cortex of the developing kidney from uninduced mesenchymal precursor cells. Hence, nephron induction ...

The landscape has dramatically changed in the management of small kidney tumors. Increased early detection of tumors, advancements in the understanding of tumor biology, progression of surgical ...

Cancer of the kidney is a serious condition and understanding the risk factors can help you avoid developing it. Renal cell carcinomas (RCC), which originate in the cortex, are the most common ...

The investigation was conducted on unaffected renal tissue samples from tumor nephrectomies (performed between 2013 and 2018), a surgical procedure in which a kidney is removed in whole or in part ...
