I normally ignore the ads...but uh...why us the kidney OVER THERE.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was donating a kidney to a man I’d never met. His children were very grateful and took me to an Italian restaurant.

A kidney for my sister in law. She recently got one donated. She‘s blind too, so i made her something touchable.

Forever chemicals are falling in the rain, running through our waterways, and swimming in our bloodstreams, and now, initial research suggests these potentially harmful pollutants are 'clogging up' a crucial drainage system in our bodies. The new study indicates forever chemicals are impacting kidney health, with changes to the gut microbiome explaining at least some of the effects. Kidneys filter excess water and toxins out of the bloodstream, and forever chemicals are now circling these two 'drains' in a worrisome way. While evidence is currently limited, there is a chance that pollutants gathering in the kidneys are driving chronic disease, as well as cancer. In rodents, when some forever chemicals accumulate in the kidneys, the high concentrations lead to injury via oxidative stress.

boof I would give you my right kidney

But I want the left one :/

Clean Your Kidney (1913)

[toyastales]

If you love hard and are loyal and a bit off kilter this is the perfect gift for you to receive and give.  This candle smells amazing, like those sweet and spicy caramelized apples.

I know it's a little out of place here, but I'm very proud of my drawing for General Pathology, and I had to show you.

It is a cut of a kidney seen from the inside and a nephron. I have another one that I did for Gynecological Pathology, but if I publish it they ban me XD.

Yeah Vox, Nifty just polished those!

descriptions under the cut

kidney -> they're barely on speaking terms talking about "i'd give you a kidney"

rotps hospital -> "olivia" "elliot"

ateş kuşları From episode 22 to 27

This feisty character is Kara. He will make you laugh sometimes and sad sometimes because of his story. His brothers left him for organ dealers when he was young. They stole his kidney and tortured him until his other kidney failed. He returns to take revenge on his brothers because they abandoned him, but he lives his last days refusing to accept any kidney transplant, but in the end he collapses and wakes up to discover that his older brother has donated his kidney to him, but he is angry because it was done without his permission. But it was his wife who allowed it.

Organs to Order

Science is often about spotting differences – but to see how a dramatic change turns out we usually need order and consistency at the beginning. Tiny lab-grown organs called organoids are an increasingly popular alternative to tricky or delicate measurements inside living patients. But growing organoids consistently is often difficult. Here a high-powered microscope scans through a tiny kidney organoid (highlighted in blue), one of many produced 'in bulk' using a method called UniMat. A 3D permeable membrane helps to soak clusters of human stem cells in cocktails of nurturing chemicals as they mature into organoids (developing red-coloured blood vessels here) in around three weeks. Researchers are now using these carefully managed organoids as models for testing drugs for diseases like polycystic kidney disease.

Right now, kidney failure treatments involve hours spent hooked up to a dialysis machine, or a donor transplant – which are scarce. But there's hope of a new option in the not-too-distant future: an artificial kidney implant. Scientists have developed a bioreactor device that uses human kidney cells cultured in the lab and mimics some of the key functions of a kidney. It's been successfully tested in pigs for a week with no obvious side effects or issues. The team, led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is hopeful that their device can be adapted to include a broader range of kidney cell types and be paired with another instrument to filter waste from the blood.
