Type the following into the Search Box at the top of the page:\n\ndefine nephrosis\ndefine necrosis\n\nand you'll see:\n\nAmerican Heritage® Dictionary: Definition of nephrosis \nNOUN: A disease of the kidneys marked by degenerative lesions, especially of the winding uriniferous tubules. OTHER FORMS: nephrotic (-frtk) , pl. nephroses (-sz). \n\n\n\nAmerican Heritage® Dictionary: Definition of necrosis \nNOUN: Death of cells or tissues through injury or disease, especially in a localized area of the body.

IIRC; reabsorbtion in the renal tubules( more in the proximal rather than the distal tubule).

Known medically as pyelonephritis (PI-low-nef-RI-tis), kidney infections usually start in the bladder. If your resistance is low, germs from the bladder can travel up the tubes (ureters) that lead to the kidneys, take up residence, and multiply. An acute kidney infection starts suddenly with severe symptoms, then quickly comes to an end. A chronic kidney infection develops slowly, grows steadily worse, and hangs on. The chronic variety can lead to kidney failure, thus possible transplant. Without care, you may get repeated kidney infections and even kidney failure. The infection could also spread to other parts of your body and cause worse problems.

it goes threw the kidneys and all that lovely filering happens then it goes down a little tube that connects the kidney to the bladder\ngood picture here\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/bladder_cancer/article.htm\nignore the fact that the site is about bladder cancer and look at the picture near the top of the page :)

Drink lots of water.  Avoid heavy metals.  Avoid chemicals such as pesticides.  Avoid the many prescription and over-the-counter drugs that can injure the kidneys.

Both are diagnosed based on high blood sugar readings and have the same symptoms- including thirst, hunger, weight lose, unusually high amount of urinating, and fatigue.  Both require careful blood glucose monitoring, and both have the same complications- neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney failure, heart disease- if not controlled.

Sounds more like liver failure to me, and there is a syndrome when both fail to function, called hepato-renal syndrome.\n\nOR\n\nCould be gallbladder disease, true true unrelated.

Levels of potassium within the cells is much higher than the extra cellular tissues. A burn victim has a lot of tissue damage. When this tissue becomes damaged, the cells have been lysed and spill this additional potassium into the blood stream. The kidneys will pick up on this increase in extra cellular potassium (because that is what they are able to monitor) and will actively pump this potassium out of their body trying to bring them back to homeostasis. Hope this helps. Thanks.

well actually the words are similar but they really describe different things entirely.  immunopathology can be a word describing the pathology - process of the immune system.. - this typically entails the disease process or the functioning of the system.  Autoimmunity really describes a process where the immune system is triggered and begins to attack the body or cells in the body that it wouldn't normally attack.  Scientists don't know whay this occurs, but Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease, and so is Lupus and there are others..  so one is about studing this disease process and the other is about the actual disease.. Hope this helps.

No, it can indicate renal failure, though. Albumin is one of the smallest proteins, and will be the first lost if there is kidney hypertension, or nephritis.\nA biopsy is where they stick a needle in your kidney to get a sample of it to look at it under a microscope. There are other kidney function tests they would do before a biopsy, including other biochemical tests, ultrasound, etc.

do u mean liver cirrhosis? if the liver is damaged it doesnt work properly so substances that are usually removed by the liver pass into the blood stream....the kidney then has to filter these extra substances and can get damaged by excesses, much of which comes out in the urine.  also in severe liver failure the kidneys will become affected and in turn they will fail too

Renal cancer is a cancer in the Kidney. Any cancer in the kidney could be thought of as renal cancer. My Mom gave me one of hers for a transplant. Today I found out her brother ( my uncle) had part of one of his removed because of cancer in his kidney.\nI tried to cheer him up asking if he had compared scares with my mom. He hadn't but laughed. Their mom and my sister both died of cancer. It worried me about my mom. Hope you have the best of health.\nJust in case there are tests described here:\n\nhttp://www.testsymptomsathome.com/fs_can0.asp?portalID=GOT&OVRAW=Newest%20faster%20cancer%20test&OVKEY=cancer%20test&OVMTC=advanced

A kidney may be shrunken due to repeated infections. The kidney tissue becomes damaged and is replaced by scar tissue. A kidney may also be small since birth. It will not become normal.  Treat the underlying condition and avoid further damage to your kidneys. Drink plenty of water. Get regular investigations done, as suggested by your doctor. These include urinalysis, ultra sound examination, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and others, according to the underlying condition. Good luck!

You have an immflammation of the glomerulus in your kidey.  The immflammation will decrease the urine output until treatment makes it subside back to normal.  Did doc tell you why you have glomerulonephritis?

toxicity is dependent on detoxifying systems in the liver and kidney, which are somewhat different in infants than adults-In some cases, side effects are more severe in infants.  In addition, the organ systems of an infant are somewhat different in gene expression and cellular proportion, and thus have differential responses than adults.
