Background. Leukocyte adhesion/infiltration in response to renal ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a well‐known but poorly understood phenomenon. The identification, kinetics, and exact role of these inflammatory cells I/R regeneration are still matters debate.
Abstract. It is not known whether a kidney with chronic structural and functional changes more vulnerable to an acute renal insult, its regeneration capacity after injury altered. To study this question, Lewis rats were submitted 10 wk 5/6 nephrectomy ischemic insult of 60 min (remnant [RK] group). Functional morphologic data the RK group compared obtained in 10-wk uninephrectomized (1K) normal (2K) unilateral bilateral ischemia, respectively. The postischemic decrease creatinine clearance...
The influence of chronic renal failure on susceptibility to an acute ischemic insult was evaluated. Recipient Lewis rats were randomly assigned undergo 5/6 nephrectomy (chronic failure, CRF) or sham operation (normal function, NRF). After 11 weeks, normal kidneys donor transplanted in the recipients. outcome isografts assessed. Filtration capacity CRF preserved approximately one-quarter its 1st day post-transplantation, whereas it fell 0 NRF rats. This reflected by a significantly higher...
Andreas Vesalius and Jan Baptist Van Helmont are the two major personalities who contributed substantially in a different way to early development of renal anatomy/physiology 16th/17th century Southern Low Countries. The importance A. Vesalius’ publication <i>‘de humani corporis fabrica libri septem’</i> cannot be overestimated. kidney was an intriguing organ Vesalius, function which he could not fully grasp. J.B. first demonstrate measurement specific gravity urine relating it...
