Kidney cysts and kidney tumour vary in their nature and implications, even though some of the symptoms overlap, said the urologist.

The interaction between speech perception and the brain's cortical activity remains an important area of study in neuroscience. Speech perception, an ...

Activation of local resident fibroblasts and generation of myofibroblasts via epithelial–mesenchymal transition are key processes in the development of the interstitial fibrosis that ...

Between July 2006 and July 2008, we prospectively collected data on 209 children (median age of 10 months; 0.2–204 months) who were diagnosed with a clinically proven first episode of UTI at the ...

Diagnostic criteria have been updated based on new understandings in clinical presentation and genetic mechanisms. Because of phenotypic variability, diagnosis can be challenging in children.

Impaired renal function poses a risk across all age groups. Because of the global shortage of nephrologists, the growing public health concern over renal failure, and technological improvements, there ...

Renal cortical cysts may appear in the late stage of the disease. These are primarily caused by the NPHP1 protein (also known as renal capsule protein) which is expressed on the surfaces of primary ...

Testing the hypothesis that uptake of drugs into the renal cortex is saturable in humans is difficult but has been studied in a series of studies in patients scheduled for nephrectomy. 23 Different ...

From the resonance phenomena, we suggest that the blood pressure wave in the kidney is synchronized and the pressure wave front arrives at all the peripheral vascular beds (PVBs) inphase. The phase ...

Background —Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, the most frequent inherited polycystic disease, is a systemic disorder characterised by the development of numerous and bilateral kidney cysts ...

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic condition marked by the growth of numerous cysts (fluid-filled sacs) in the kidneys.

Endovascular renal denervation (RDN) appears to hold some promise as a non-pharmacological approach to lowering BP and achieves renal sympathectomy using either radiofrequency energy or ...
