Renal failure occurs due to damage to the functions of the kidneys that lead to failure of the normal filtration process. (news-medical.net)
Acute renal failure for example may be brought about by problems affecting the flow of blood to the kidneys (including dehydration, heart failure etc.), problems or diseases of the kidneys (including damage to kidneys caused by certain medications or toxins) or problems affecting the outflow of urine from the kidneys (including kidney stones, posterior urethral valves etc. (news-medical.net)

Using a polyclonal antibody raised against bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase, the occurrence of this mitochondrial marker enzyme has been investigated in 63 kidney tumors (ten renal oncocytomas, 43 renal cell carcinomas and ten tubulopapillary adenomas) as well as in normal renal tissue by an immunoperoxidase method (PAP-technique).

Renal cell cancer (also called kidney cancer or renal adenocarcinoma) is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells are found in the lining of tubules (very small tubes) in the kidney. (smartdraw.com)
In general the renal cortex is under greater oxygen tension and more prone to ischemic injury, especially at the level of the proximal collecting tubule , leading to its preferential damage in a sudden drop in perfusion. (wikipedia.org)
At low perfusion pressures, Angiotensin II may act by constricting the efferent arterioles, thus mainlining the GFR and playing a role in autoregulation of Renal Blood Flow. (wikipedia.org)
Usually, you don't have to do anything special to prepare for a renal ultrasound, although the doctor may ask that your child not eat or drink anything for several hours before the test. (kidshealth.org)
Renal colic typically begins in the flank and often radiates to the hypochondrium (the part of the anterior abdominal wall below the costal margins ) or the groin . (wikipedia.org)
The differentiation between renal oncocytomas and mitochondria-rich carcinomas represents a problem of histopathology since these tumors have a different prognosis and require different patient managements. (springer.com)
The antibody proved to be a valuable marker for detecting "true" oncocytic transformation in renal tumors and was useful in defining even single oncocytes or small oncocytic lesions. (springer.com)
Women with renal disease, also known as kidney disease, continue to be at a significantly increased risk of complications during pregnancy, despite advances in healthcare to reduce these outcomes. (news-medical.net)
The incidence of these effects depends on the stage of renal disease, with complications occurring less commonly in earlier stages of the disease. (news-medical.net)
Most women with mildly decreased renal function before conceiving have a normal pregnancy without adverse effects, although there is a slightly increased risk of complications. (news-medical.net)
Each kidney has about a million nephrons, and each nephron has a renal tubule , a tube where the acid and waste products filtered from the blood are secreted into urine. (kidshealth.org)
The first two types are named for the part of the renal tubule in which the damage or defect is found. (kidshealth.org)
Type 2 RTA , or proximal renal tubular acidosis , happens when the damage or defect is relatively close to the start of the tubule. (kidshealth.org)
Type 4 RTA , or hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis , is caused by a transport disorder in the distal tubule. (kidshealth.org)
If the illness progresses, the final common clinical picture is renal failure. (springer.com)
