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 ...

2015). In this study, we evaluate the capability of kidney organoids to assess nephrotoxicity caused by various drugs in different nephron segments of proximal tubules and podocytes. Drug transporter ...

Glutamine is extracted from renal tubular cells and used to produce ammonia (NH3). High levels of urea cause the kidneys to produce uremic toxins. Lipid nephrotoxicity could damage the structure and ...

Death was due to uremia caused by the lower-nephron nephrosis ... in the areas draining into these tubules. We can only conjecture about the effect on the kidneys of transient or persistent ...
