The kidney is an important organ in the abdomen that does the following:
- Water balance & blood pressure regulation,
- Acid-base balance,
- Removes toxins/cleans the blood, and
- Produces hormones (e.g. erythropoietin).
Tumours
Main article: Kidney tumours
This is mostly the domain of urology.
This article cover the common renal tumours:
- [[Renal cell carcinoma].
- Oncocytoma.
- Most other tumours... except urothelial tumours are dealt with in the urothelium article.
Pediatric tumours are covered in pediatric renal tumours.
Medical kidney diseases
Main article: Medical kidney diseases
This is almost a specialty for itself. Lots of interaction with nephrologists.
Developmental
Multicystic renal dysplasia
General
Microscopic
Features:
- Cysts.
- Abnormal stroma.
Renal medullary dysplasia
General
- Associated with:
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.[2]
- Placental insufficiency.[3]
