Excretion urography can be used to provide information on both the structure and the function of the renal system.
The function of the renal portal system is less clear, but it involves two veins that pass from the caudal vein to the kidneys, where they break up into capillaries.
And the value of CO2 can evaluate the acidification function of the renal tubule.
The myogenic model captures these essential functions of the renal AA, and it may prove useful as a fundamental component in a multiscale model of the renal microvasculature suitable for investigations of the pathogenesis of hypertensive renal diseases.
Antidiuresis, which depends on intact function of the renal medulla, is important for water conservation.
The peak CRP declined rapidly and function of the renal graft improved over the 5-day therapy.
The primary function of the renal papilla is thought to be in final maximal concentration of urine (19, 20).
Cadmium (Cd) is a potent nephrotoxicant that impairs the reabsorptive and secretory functions of the renal proximal tubule, leading to albuminuria.
Sitagliptin protected the endothelial function of the renal artery in spontaneously hypertensive rats, and exenatide ameliorated the endothelial dysfunction in the renal arteries from hypertensive patients in an ex vivo study [ 26].
In 2002, together with an artist in Gainesville, I created an animated cartoon of my proposed model of the effect of the peristalsis on the function of the renal papilla.
