Recently, my primary care physician spotted some abnormal numbers related to my kidney function. He suspects that this is related to lisinopril. As a result, he decreased my daily dosage to just 10 mg ...

However, in people with blockages to both the renal arteries, lisinopril can dangerously drop blood flow to the nephrons. So, ...

I am concerned about the higher blood pressure levels and the potential negative effects on my heart condition ...

I have suffered from high blood pressure since I was a young man in my early 20s. I recently turned 70 years old. My blood pressure has been controlled by various medications. Most recently, I have ...

The human kidney, a bean-shaped organ, comprises a renal cortex (outer layer), a renal medulla (inner layer), and nephrons (functional units) that filter blood, with the filtered fluid becoming ...

3D animation illustrating the function of the renal corpuscle in the nephron, focusing on the filtration of blood to form urine. 3D animation illustrating the function of the renal corpuscle in the ...

The distal portions of the nephron, including the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), the connecting tubule (CNT), and the cortical collecting duct (CCD), are essential to fine-tune the excretion of ...

Research from USC Stem Cell shows the critical role of Wnt signaling in nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) during kidney development. The studies highlight how varying Wnt levels influence NPC ...

A pair of USC Stem Cell mouse studies detail how progenitor cells self-renew, differentiate, and aggregate into early kidney structures, offering insights for the creation of stem cell-based ...
