These results suggest that early neonatal hopocalcemia appears to be related to a transient lack of response to PTH of the target organs, disordered vitamin D metabolism and hypercalcitoninemia.
If the underlying cause of the acute tubular necrosis is addressed, people can recover, because tubular cells can typically regenerate over the course of a few weeks.
These pumps drive potassium from the blood into the cells and from there it flows down its concentration gradient into the tubule to be excreted as urine.
If Leptospira gets to the kidneys, it may infect the interstitium, causing interstitial nephritis, or it may cause an inflammatory reaction that damages the renal tubules, resulting in acute tubular necrosis.
Now, all the stuff that get squeezed out of the blood into the glomerulus is called filtrate, which is then sent along to the elaborately twisting three-centimeter-long renal tubule.
Each nephron consists of a round renal corpuscle that resides up in the cortex, followed by a long and winding renal tubule that loops around between the cortex and the medulla.
This is called tubular secretion, and it transports only select kinds of waste that have already made their way into the blood that's in the peritubular capillaries, ready to leave the kidneys.
