A recent study found that some 43,000 people die every year in the US for lack of a kidney donation. (vox.com)
There are some 63,000 new patients every year who might benefit from a kidney donation. (vox.com)

The concept of monitoring creatinine for kidney disease in dogs is not new to veterinary medicine," said Marie Kerl, associate teaching professor in the department of veterinary medicine and surgery in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine. (phys.org)
During the shooting of the film Family Plot, Alfred Hitchcock underwent surgery for colitis and a kidney stone. (wikipedia.org)

There's only one way to build a kidney, and that's nature's way," said McMahon, who is the director of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC. (usc.edu)
Four human embyonic stem cell lines were used in the experiment. (healthykidneyclub.com)

Collectively, our data provide a reliable reference for studies on renal cell biology and kidney disease. (nih.gov)
To confirm that the phenotypes they were studying truly caused human disease, they reversed the damage by expressing a wild-type human gene in which the associated nephrotic syndromes did not rescue the phenotypes. (childrensnational.org)
Specifically, hESC-MSC treatment prevented disease-associated interstitial inflammation, protein cast deposition and infiltration of CD3 + lymphocytes in the kidneys. (nature.com)
By generating detailed views of the beautifully complex process by which human nephrons form, we aim to enhance our understanding of development and disease, while guiding efforts to build synthetic kidney structures," said Lindström. (usc.edu)
peripheral vascular disease, NSAID use and family history of kidney disease. (nih.gov)
In children and adolescents younger than 18 years, the adjusted incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the United States in 2020 was 11 cases per million population, down slightly from 13 cases per million population in 2010. (medscape.com)
Humans can develop severe and sometimes fatal illness, but do not transmit the disease to others. (cdc.gov)

Delivery could take a few months and, theoretically, a patient might not need immunosuppressant drugs because his body would recognize the kidney as his own. (northwestern.edu)

Their findings are publicly available as part of the Human Nephrogenesis Atlas , which is a searchable database showing when and where genes are active in the developing human kidney, and predicting regulatory interactions going on in developing cell types. (usc.edu)
The scientists were also able to determine the precise positions of expressed genes with known roles in Congenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT). (usc.edu)
