Overview of renal physiological processes and acute kidney injury.

A simple but detailed view of the transport of various components in urine into and out of the renal tubule; from hyperfiltration at the glomerulus, to excretion in the urine.  

Living donor kidney transplantation has increased significantly in the UK in recent years Many candidates for kidney transplant have family members or friends who are willing to donate but it is estimated that around one third of such offers must be declined because of ABO blood group incompatibility or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sensitisation of the recipient Previously in the UK, legal framework limited LD transplantation to donor-recipient pairs who were genetically related or had a strong emotional connection. A change in UK legislation in 2006 has allowed the development of paired donation schemes and altruistic non-directed donation. This presentation describes the UK scheme and its results to date.
