what is the function of th renal medulla?

Question

kidney

Answer 1

There are two main parts of the kidney. The renal medulla and the renal cortex. The renal medulla is the innermost part of the kidney. The whole thing in general doesn't have one specific function. However, it HOUSES structures that DO have functions. The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections, known as the renal pyramids. Blood enters into the kidney via the renal artery, which then splits up to form the arcuate arterioles. The arcuate arterioles each in turn branch into interlobar arterioles, which finally reach the glomeruli. At the glomerulus the blood reaches a highly disfavourable pressure gradient and a large exchange surface area, which forces the serum portion of the blood out of the vessel into the renal tubules. Flow continues through the renal tubules, including the proximal tubule, the Loop of Henle, and finally leaves the kidney by means of the collecting duct, leading to the renal urethra. The renal medulla only receives about 10% of all the blood flowing through the kidneys.

You could say that the function of the renal medulla, or the kidney in general, is maintaining homeostasis of a large number of solutes and water.

My Doctor Told Me the depressing news - "Your Kidneys Are FAILING!"

My worsening kidney disease symptoms included:
- Nausea and vomiting and constant stomach upset
- Passing only small amounts of urine and stopping and starting while urinating
- Swelling in my ankles and lower legs
- Puffiness around my eyes with brain fog and moodiness
- Chronic fatigue and shortness of breath when exerting myself
- Loss of appetite and not wanting to eat at all
- Increasingly higher blood pressure
- Bouts of anxiety and depression
- Muscle cramps which were worse in my legs

That a friend of mine sent me a link to a website (http://NatureHomeCure.com) that helped his Mother. She was just like me, and was suffering with failing kidneys and experienced the same worries and fears I was going through. All I could do was try it and see if it worked.

Here's where the story gets a little strange. Two months later, Instead of my kidneys sliding down the slippery slope of kidney failure and getting progressively worse, they started to get better.

My Doctor could not believe how much improved my kidney function output had increased and my GFR was UP and creatinine levels lower. My kidneys were starting to work again, and removing all the toxins in my body. I got my life back!

Now, I am using this 100% all natural protocol which restored my kidney function and did it naturally, without the use of unnatural man-made pharmaceutical drugs or dialysis. In less than two months my kidneys were on the mend. Now six months later, My kidney's are back to normal again.

You have such a good point. I would hate if the site crashed. I voted for the middle one because I really didn't know. You just gave such a great point. And the site is pretty good without comments. But like I said I really don't know. If he does decides to add a comment part to, he should make it so that people couldn't add anything personal. No addresses or phone numbers.

Answer 8

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

I actually voted quite a few times to let us be able to comment on what Tom has written. And i agree with you, there are going to be some people out there who are going to do excatly what you just wrote. And instead of caring about anything Tom wrote they would probaly spam the page saying "Omg TOM!! Marry me, your so fugdin hot!" Okay; we know alot of the fans want to "Marry" them, but i dont think Tom wants comments like that xD I wanted to ask him some question's in his blogs like.. "Tom, can you please give us some more information on Bill?" (I dont know if id put this one) "Alot of fans are worrying about Bill, is he ok? He seems to be losing quite a bit of weight?" Or- "Is there any new information on the album that you can release to us?" Stuff that i'm sure he'd be happy to answer..(: & That he would like hearing about, which can hopefully suggest new ideas for the blog's he's writing so he dosent get stuck trying to figure out something that he can right.. He can answer some of our questions?.. STAR! x.
