What am I looking at? This is a cross section through a human kidney, showing the cells within a single glomerulus. The light blue circles are the cell’s nuclei (1). The green represents a protein in ...

This is a major problem because if we can catch kidney disease early, we can usually treat the root cause and prevent further ...

Chronic kidney diseases generally arise from a disordered kidney filtration barrier within glomeruli. This review describes the roles of glomerular capillary pressure, the glomerular basement membr ...

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a critical kidney condition that affects the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels responsible for ...

Directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into mature kidney podocytes and establishment of a Glomerulus Chip. Nature Protocols , 2018; 13 (7): 1662 DOI: 10.1038/s41596-018 ...

Glomerulonephritis refers to acute and chronic kidney diseases caused by injury to the glomerulus, a part of the kidney responsible for filtering blood. If the kidney is injured, it is unable to ...

Membranous nephropathy, also called membranous glomerulopathy, is a kidney disease that affects the filters, or glomeruli, of your kidneys. These filters usually help remove waste and fluids. But ...

Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a type of kidney injury that occurs in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS is a disease condition in which scar tissue develops on the glomeruli ...

Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases that affect the structure of the kidneys. Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms that cause kidney issues. Learn more here.

The combination of an NSAID and an ARB or ACE inhibitor can significantly reduce the pressure in the glomerulus and increase the risk for acute kidney injury. The third leg of the triple whammy ...
