Nephrology

A presentation for palliative care and oncology  

Acute renal failure is a dreaded complication in the ICU.  This podcast will review the various types of acute renal failure, the etiology, as well as acute management.  

This podcast addresses the topic of proteinuria in children. The podcast helps students develop an approach to the evaluation of proteinuria. There is a brief overview of common causes of proteinuria in children. This podcast was written by Peter Gill and Dr. Verna Yiu. Peter is a medical student at the University of Alberta. Dr. Yiu is a pediatric nephrologist at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. These podcasts are designed to give medical students an overview of key topics in pediatrics. The audio versions are accessible on iTunes. You can find more great pediatrics content at www.pedscases.com.  

This podcast addresses the topic of hematuria in children. The podcast helps students develop an approach to the evaluation of hematuria.

Overview of renal physiological processes and acute kidney injury.  

Review article  

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.

Kidneys are a regulatory organ that excrete of waste products. This is with a high rate of blood flow, filtration and reabsorption.  

kidneys can produce a dilute urine or cocentrated urine to regulate body fluid osmalarity.  

Renal Pi excretion is the balance between free glomerular filtration and regulated tubular reabsorption. Under normal physiological conditions, ;80–90% of filtered load is reabsorbed; renal tubular reabsorption occurs primarily in proximal tubules, with higher rates at early segments (S1/S2 vs. S3) and in deep nephrons
