The broad structure of a kidney is what
Retroperitoneal spine in the kidneys on both sides, about the one, the shape of Vicia faba. Normal kidneys each weighing about 125 to 150 g, and 10 to 12 cm long, 5 to 6 cm wide, 3-4 cm thick. With renal kidney major abdominal fascia fixed in the posterior wall, and the upper edge of an l or 12 thoracic vertebrae with high margin up to the second lumbar vertebra. Right left kidney lower than 1-2 cm. Kidney medial central depression, called renal hilum, kidney blood vessels, nerves and ureter from here after all. From the surface to plunge inward magnify kidney, renal parenchyma showed hierarchical structure: the outer cortex, the inner medulla. Renal cortical thickness lcm, there are many small red particles points, or glomeruli. Part of the cortex to enter into between MERCOSUR, a kidney-chu. Renal medulla about the thickness of 2 / 3, can be divided into a number of conical body, known as renal Cone. Cone called renal papillary sophisticated, prominent in the renal calyceal within. There are many nipple each nipple hole for the opening of the nipple, forming screen, kidney formation of urine will enter renal calyceal. Renal calyceal was funnel-shaped, each enveloping renal calyceal general to a number of renal papilla, each about 7 to kidney renal calyceal 12, several components of renal calyceal a large renal calyceal, several kidney Set a beacon of the renal pelvis, ureter and renal hilum out the same.
Renal unit from which components
Renal units by renal tubular body and composed. A renal unit is about 50 mm, the total bilateral renal units can be up to 70 km above the renal unit usually only a small part in the work, we can see that the kidney reserve is tremendous. Body by the kidney and renal glomerular capsule composed of small spherical structure, with the formation of urine and filtering role in glomerulonephritis is the main lesion. Glomerular group is the core of a glomus Network, which ends with the goal of the small artery, the artery connected to the ball, glomerular outside wrapped in a funnel-shaped capsule that the renal capsule. Renal tubular cyst cavity and the same, from the proximal tubular pipe, myeloid loop and the distal tubules three components. Apart from the role of renal excretion, but also re-absorption function. Glomerular filtration normal daily income of 180 L of the liquid around, and the daily volume of 1.5 L alone, almost 99% were tubular reabsorption. Therefore, the regulation tubular water metabolism is very important, and renal tubular reabsorption function as a selective, therefore, useful to humans almost all the glucose was re-absorption, and metabolism of some human-generated waste, such as nitrogen Last metabolites, absorption and excretion are not out. Is a corporation Fanqu glomerular capillary network of Cong, wrapped in renal capsule. It is the end goal of the small arteries and arterioles of the ball access, known as glomerular vascular very, very relative and vascular side, and the proximal tubules linked, as a glomerular urine. Glomerular small artery into the goal, which is divided into 4-6 branch, each branch to tell many small, composed of many loop-shaped capillary lobular (in the middle of mesangial lobular support), lobular the first capillary Set the number of sticks, and then the ball together into a small artery, a blood vessel from leaving glomerular. Glomerular capillary wall from the inside to outside the three-tier structure, namely the endothelial cell layer and basement membrane, cells layer, the blood glomerular filtration, the composition of the plasma can be selectively filtering . Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of proteins in the blood can not be filtration, only small molecular substances such as urea, glucose, electrolytes and certain small molecule protein filtration, but in pathological conditions, such as chronic glomerulonephritis, The glomerular lesions, macromolecular material can escape from macromolecules proteinuria.
Which tubular components
Renal proximal tubules by the smaller of the (small), and distal small tube, is a slender pipeline of epithelial monolayer. Proximal tubular pipe is in the paragraphs from the selective re-absorption of the main site, which is the longest in the tubular section of the rough, a diameter of about 50-60 / um, about 14 mm, or about the entire tubular 1 / 4. There are 3 of the length, that is, proximal tubular neck, and proximal tubules of the song (proximal tubules), the proximal tubules of the straight. Proximal small tube cavity without rules, the wall for single cone-shaped cells, cells in the lumen of a brush border, and is composed of many of microvilli on the composition of microvilli on the total surface area of 60 m, is lifting absorption of the structural basis. Small tubular pipe for the second part of about 10 mm, the downlink and uplink of the fine does not have active transport functions, but with current multiplier function, the urine concentration play an important role. Distal renal tubular pipe for the third part, including the Ministry of straight, and the song of the tight spot. Straight thin tube with the Department and the Department of proximal tubules a straight myeloid loop and the distal tubules of the song called distal convoluted tubules. Straight distal tubular epithelial cells of the active transport of sodium ions, regulating acid-base balance, the small tube into isotonic solution from low permeability, then into hypertonic, in the countercurrent multiplication play an important role. Downlink distal tubules are connected with the collecting duct.
How is the formation of urine
After the formation of urine urine, urine final two stages. That the original urine of glomerular filtration, their components and plasma components almost the same as the urine from the bladder urine that end, which we call the popular urine, and the composition of the original urine are very different. End of the formation of urine through three main processes.
(1) the flow of blood to glomerular glomerular filtration, water and plasma filter out some material form glomerular filtration solution (the original urine), so that urine is directly derived from the blood.
(2) renal tubular reabsorption of the tubular urine, 99% were re-absorption of water, was also re-absorption of glucose, protein, sodium and chloride ions.
(3) renal collecting duct and the excretion and renal tubular epithelial cells in the collecting duct can be around the capillaries of a number of components transit or renal excretion into the pool and within the lumen. Therefore, the formation of urine, including three processes: namely, filtration, re-absorption, and excretion. Impact of this process three factors can affect any urine production.
What are the functions of the kidney
Has two kinds of kidney function, which generated urine and endocrine function. Through the formation and excretion of urine to maintain body water, electrolyte, acid-base balance, maintenance of stability in the environment, through secretion of a variety of bioactive substances (mainly renin, erythropoietin, high activity of vitamin D3, prostate - and kallikrein enzymes) to regulate blood pressure and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, stimulate the bone marrow. They are as follows:
(1) the formation of urine, maintaining water and electrolyte balance in the normal water too much or too low, will be adopted to regulate the kidney, in order to maintain moisture between value, such as the heat, strenuous exercise or work, sweat more , in water less, to reduce urine volume; cold weather on the urine more. Urine also drinking more, not less drinking urine. Because kidney patients renal lesions lead to such water balance dysfunction, there can be swelling and other symptoms.
Glomerular filtrate containing various electrolytes in the blood, when entering tubular, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride and phosphate, etc. Most of the re-absorption. Tubular according to the requirements of the body to regulate its re-absorption in order to maintain electrolyte balance. There plasma protein, glucose, amino acids, hormones, vitamins and inorganic salts, such as in the blood can often remain relatively stable, and can not be separated from the regulatory functions of the kidney. The kidneys of these regulatory role in the maintenance of normal physiological activities of the human body is very important.
(2) from the row of urinary waste, toxic and drug metabolism in the human body all the time, in the process gas generated will be even more harmful to the human body do not waste such as urea, uric acid, creatinine, and other nitrogenous material, sulfate and other sulphur content material, as well as inorganic phosphate, etc.. Kidney can turn the waste from the body, not in the blood of excessive savings in order to maintain normal physiological activities of the human body. In addition, the kidney can enter the body of some toxic substances from the body. Many major drug is excreted by the kidneys. Once had kidney disease, drugs from the reduced dosage must also be a corresponding reduction, or they will poisoning occurred, resulting in kidney damage.
(3) maintain the acid-base balance in the body when the acid-base balance disorders, the body’s physiological activities will take place obstacles, resulting in a series of symptoms. Metabolic processes in the kidney can produce acidic substances excreted through urine, and would be able to control acid and alkaline substances from the proportion of when any of the substances in the blood increased, the kidneys will be part of the surplus to discharge, kidney maintain and regulate acid-base balance is the main function of bicarbonate through the re-absorption and excretion of hydrogen ions to achieve. Some kidney patients had metabolic acidosis, it is because the kidney lost in the maintenance of acid-base balance in the function.
(4) the endocrine function of the kidney is not only renal excretion organs, is an important endocrine organ, can secrete hormones many. For example, kidney role in the secretion of plasma renin angiotensin the original, so that it becomes angiotensin, which can stimulate vasoconstriction and cardiac contractility to high blood pressure; kidney manufactured erythropoietin can stimulate bone marrow stem cells Hematopoietic, such erythropoietin produced less, there will be anemia; In addition, the kidney can produce prostaglandins, kallikrein, as well as high activity of vitamin D3 (1-25-dihydroxyvitamin D3), these substances on human blood pressure regulation and calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and promote osteoblast, is also very important.
Common kidney diseases which
Kidney disease is glomeruli and tubules, and renal interstitial renal vascular diseases, which are common acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, occult nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and urinary tract infections. The continuous development of various diseases, in the later, there will be chronic renal failure.
What are the common kidney disease symptoms
Common symptoms of kidney disease edema, hypertension, Niaoshao or anuria, polyuria, frequency, hematuria, the bubble in urine increased, lumbar pain and other systemic symptoms.
(1) often seen in the eyelid edema, ankle and back hip. Can be accompanied by serious pleural effusion, and ascites perineum (the scrotum and labia minora) edema. If the damaged skin, edema fluid can be more than overflow. Edema position may change with the position of the movement, such as when lying orbital soft tissue around the most obvious, after standing or sedentary can appear in the medial anterior malleolus pitting edema. When accompanied by edema in Niaoshao and weight gain, patients with severe systemic edema fluid can be as high as 20-30 L, to identify whether edema, a day to get up emptying, urine, body weight measured fasting to observe the day-to-day changes .
(2) treatment of hypertension kidney patients should pay attention to check blood pressure, elevated blood pressure if, the disease is often increase performance. On the other hand, patients with hypertension should also be noted urine routine inspection, observed changes in blood pressure and urine protein changes in the relationship between the physician to identify kidney disease is caused by hypertension, or high blood pressure caused by kidney damage.
(3) Niaoshao or 24-hour urine volume adults less than 400 ml (per hour or less than 15-20 m1) called oliguria, anuria less than lOOml called. At this point urine from the kidney can no longer in the body’s metabolism from the waste and toxins, can not regulate water and electrolyte environment within the stability and balance, should urgently seek medical attention.
(4) polyuria and nocturia per day over 2500 ml urine that polyuria. If there is no excessive drinking, not using diuretic drugs, do not have diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus no vertical system of outside factors, such as kidney, urine is more concentrated tubular dysfunction performance. Normal night Bainiaoliang a certain regularity, day urine output should exceed night, the ratio of 2 to 3:1, nocturia should not be more than 750 ml. If nocturnal enuresis increased, the ratio of urine day and night change is also concentrated tubular dysfunction performance. If inspections can be found Nibichong infiltration and urine concentrations of Chinese medicine to reduce the formation of the view that this phenomenon is Shenqi weak, Ha Yuen not solid, perturbation satisfied that the right result.
(5) frequency of micturition frequency refers to urinate more often, but every little urine, urinary urgency is Biebuzhu; Niaotong means voiding urethra and the lower abdomen pain and was particularly prevalent in the cystitis.
(6) hematuria is the blood of glomerular injury, or tubular Road caused mixed with urine. If the amount of bleeding, without aids, the naked eye can detect, said gross hematuria; less bleeding, invisible to the naked eye, centrifugal precipitation after admission to the dregs of smear, as observed with a microscope that can be found microscopic hematuria. Generally considered gross hematuria was particularly prevalent in the stones, tumors and other urologic diseases, and for the majority of microscopic hematuria glomerular diseases.
(7) the bubble in urine increased in urine is the performance of a large number of proteins, this should be done urine routine and 24-hour urinary protein quantitative examination.
(8) paroxysmal severe low back pain low back pain, and even along the side of the abdomen to the perineum thigh radiation, or with vomiting, known as the “renal colic” and was particularly prevalent in the renal pelvis or ureter stones stone at this time to observe whether hematuria. pyelonephritis, low back pain accompanied with fever, kidney area (the back side of the ridge rib angle, that is, Beiyao Department) Kouji pain, urine test can be found leukocytosis, urinary cultivating bacteria growth. Only when the majority of glomerular diseases waist discomfort, pain, or only flu lumbar acid.
(9) Other mental sluggishness, loss of appetite, fatigue limb soft and looking pale, anemia, and so on, should be considered chronic renal failure may, in time to do blood and urine of the inspection.
Lumbago whether kidney illness
“The lumbar renal House”, meaning that the waist is the kidney House residence, low back pain will naturally think of the kidney illness. After peritoneal kidney at the waist, so when the renal pelvis or ureter obstruction, renal artery embolization, acute renal volume increases, or purulent inflammation, the low back pain can be severe. But in chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome kidney patients, such as medicine, are often not only lumbar acid, rarely severe low back pain. It is worth noting that low back pain had also occurred in other diseases, such as lumbar spine bone diseases, women’s diseases and psoas pelvic disease. Low back pain more with the former, the Chichong and posture, and the latter is accompanied by other symptoms of the disease women.
Edema is whether the kidney disease
Kidney patients edema can occur, but kidney patients can be no edema. Edema is kidney disease symptoms, but also some kidney disease, the common symptoms. Apart from diseases caused edema kidney disease, but also heart disease, cirrhosis, severe malnutrition, corresponding to the examination to be finalized. Kidney disease again in the nephrotic syndrome, chronic nephritis syndrome and acute tubular necrosis oliguria period prone to edema, and chronic renal disease, chronic renal interstitial diseases such as pyelonephritis generally not swollen. Renal failure, if mainly glomerular damage, often in edema, but the original urine renal tubular water re-absorption decreased, there polyuria and nocturia increased edema occurred or not. So edema can not be used as kidney disease severity of the signs.
Urine routine examination of what is the point of kidney disease
Urine routine inspection should cover Niaobichong, urine protein characterization for urinary sediment after centrifugation and the cell-counting. Conventional urine of nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, urinary tract infection, such as the common kidney disease have greater diagnostic value, if continuous observation of the changes, to understand the response of drug treatment, it is a convenient means of detection. Some kidney patients and there are no conspicuous typical symptoms, and often delay diagnosis and treatment, urine routine inspection found to be neglected in these potential kidney disease. Because tonsillitis, pyoderma, scarlet fever easily induced acute nephritis, so these patients should be two weeks after onset for a month in the urine routine examination. Hypertension, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus and other diseases may cause kidney damage, these patients should also be regularly checked urine routine.
Kidney patients should pay attention to what the inspection
Speaking of kidney disease, urine routine examination is important, but it is important not only urine routine inspection. In fact, the amount of urinary protein minor fluctuations between (”+”~”++”) or to a few dozen cells the difference does not have any significance. In addition to kidney patients urine routine examination, but also carry out regular checks on renal function, in order to understand the status and condition of the development trends in order to facilitate formulation of therapeutic strategy. Many systemic diseases can cause secondary damage to the kidney, kidney diseases (especially late uremia) and often heart, lung and other serious organ damage, and kidney patients to seek medical treatment should also be Quanjuangeqiguan inspection. Hypertension is often worsening renal disease one of the main factors, it should be regular tests of blood pressure. If the blood pressure should be controlled within the normal range.
