Kidneys and Metals Problem Set
This problem set is designed to help you understand renal toxicology of metals.
1. Kidney
The human kidney secretes two hormones:
Erythropoietin (EPO)
Calcitriol (1,25[OH]2 Vitamin D3)
as well as the enzyme renin.

kidney stones Crystallized deposits of excess wastes such as uric acid, calcium, and magnesium that may form in the kidney.

kidney
In vertebrates, the organ that regulates the balance of water and solutes in the blood and the excretion of nitrogenous wastes in the form of urine.

Kidney Stones
In some cases, excess wastes crystallize as kidney stones. They grow and can become a painful irritant that may require surgery or ultrasound treatments.
Kidneys (Figs. 1225, 1226)."The right kidney usually lies about 1 cm. lower than the left, but for practical purposes similar surface markings are taken for each.

Kidneys play a very large role in human osmoregulation. Kidneys regulate the amount of water in urine waste.
The kidneys are also key players in the hydration (water) levels for your body. Let's say you are in the desert and you haven't been drinking much water. Chemical signals are sent to your kidneys to reabsorb as much water as possible.
Your Kidneys
As your blood travels along within your body, it becomes more and more polluted with urea and other wastes. Eventually the blood enters a special filter. An organ known as your kidneys. As the blood enters your kidneys it is cleansed.

Renal ren = kidney.
renette An excretory structure found in some worms.
Disease of the kidneys caused by damage to the small blood vessels or to the units in the kidneys that clean the blood.
[L. renes - the kidneys; L. corpusculum - a body]. The filtration unit found in the cortex of the kidneys and made up of Bowman's capsule and a glomerulus.

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) -- a group of conditions characterized by fluid filled sacs that slowly develop in both kidneys, eventually resulting in kidney malfunction.
6 million bases of DNA, including regions spanning human DNA repair genes, the candidate region for a congenital kidney disease gene, and other regions of biological interest on chromosome 19.
So for example, the muscle has a lot of mitochondria, the liver does too, the kidney as well, and to a certain extent, the brain, which lives off of the energy those mitochondria produce.
nephros - the kidneys]. The second excretory organ formed in the embryo, caudal to the pronephros. The pronephric ducts become mesonephric or Wolffian ducts. This kidney is fully functional in adult amphibians and fish.
So a kidney cell has a different proteome from a brain cell: to carry out their function, they express different proteins.
An endocrine gland located adjacent to the kidney in mammals; composed of two glandular portions: an outer cortex, which responds to endocrine signals in reacting to stress and effecting salt and water balance, and a central medulla, ...
Adrenal Glands endocrine glands which are located on top of the kidneys and which secrete hormones such as cortisone and adrenaline (epinephrine)
