Collecting duct was compressed longitudinally by severe inflammation and fibrosis in renal cortex around cyst (Figure 2f). In contrast, collecting duct had a tendency to dilate in renal medulla ...

Arterial hypertension is characterized by microvasculature changes and reduced tissue perfusion. It is unknown whether a sexual dimorphism of renal microcirculation is present in patients with ...

Figure 1 Metabolism of substances in the kidney. Cortical cells undergo gluconeogenesis while medullary cells metabolize glucose. Glutamine is extracted from renal tubular cells and used to produce ...

Renal hypoplasia, defined as abnormally small kidneys with normal morphology and reduced nephron number, is a common cause of pediatric renal failure and adult-onset disease. Genetic studies ...

This network is remodeled into the single renal artery with 3–4 main lateral branches by E13.5. At E17.5, the main arterial branches extend through the medulla and terminate in the cortex where they ...

even in advanced chronic kidney disease; cysts derived from proximal tubules, but not those derived from distal tubules, contained increased concentrations of bioactive erythropoietin.

The animals were trained for 3 consecutive days in experimental procedures of plethysmography, as described elsewhere (Vieira-Filho et al. 2014). The abundance of renal cortical proteins was measured ...
