The primary cilium is a microtubule-based nonmotile organelle that extends from the surface of cells, including renal tubular cells. Here, we investigated the alteration of primary cilium length during epithelial cell injury and repair, following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) insult, and the role of reactive oxygen species in this alteration. Thirty minutes of bilateral renal ischemia induced seve...

INTRODUCTION Renal dimensions (RD) are important for the diagnostic and the prognostic of nephropathies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We selected 904 Brazilians subjects with normal excretory urographies, showing dense nephrogram at the 5th minute of the exam, serum creatinine < 1.3mg/dl, and absence of any disease that could modify RD. Length, width, and area of both kidneys were correlated with ge...

Kidney size may be altered in renal diseases, and the detection of kidney size alteration has diagnostic and prognostic values. We hypothesized that radiographic kidney size, the kidney length to the second lumbar vertebra (L2) length ratio, in normal Miniature Schnauzer dogs may be overestimated due to their shorter vertebral length. This study was conducted to evaluate radiographic and ultras...

Introduction: Kidney is an important retroperitoneal organ with excretory and endocrine functions. The length of kidney affected in variety clinical disorders age.&#x0D; Aims: aim the study was to determine renal respect individual’s sex Methods: This conducted on 369 patients referred department Radiology for abdominal ultrasonographic examination where measured recorded.&#x0D; Results: mean r...

The renal veins present a broad spectrum of variability in their length, tributaries. Such aspects are important when considering surgical approach, trauma, interpreting diagnostic images and teaching veins. Although imaging techniques have good resolution, they failed to reduce the incidence complications surgery. Objectives study measure length vein variations vasculature. : dissection was ca...
