  • Ultra-Structure of Kidney the Excretory System Is Responsible for Filtering Wastes from the Blood and Both Forming and Secreting Urine
    Ultra-Structure of kidney The excretory system is responsible for filtering wastes from the blood and both forming and secreting urine. These functions help to maintain the composition and volume of body fluids. Although it has far-reaching effects, the urinary system is relatively simple anatomically and consists of: Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, and Urethra. The main organs are the kidneys, which filter blood and produce urine. The other parts are simply accessory structures for the transport and storage of urine. During the normal breakdown of protein and nucleic acids, nitrogen is released into the bloodstream. Some of this nitrogen is recycled to make new cellular products, but most of it is disposed of. The body has to have a way to rid itself of this unused nitrogen, as high levels in the blood can be toxic. Most of the nitrogen is bound with hydrogen as NH3 (ammonia), which is readily dissolved in water. For this reason, fish are able to excrete much of their nitrogen by simple diffusion into the surrounding water. Terrestrial animals have a different way of ridding their bodies of excess nitrogen. It is either excreted as uric acid or urea. Animals that are concerned about water loss, such as birds and reptiles, excrete the more concentrated uric acid as a pasty white material. Mammals, on the other hand, can excrete urea, along with more water. The mixture of urea, water, and other wastes is called 'urine.' Urine is still very concentrated in comparison to the blood, and the system that facilitates this concentration is the 'urinary system.

For the right kidney, have the patient lie supine and place the probe in the right lower intercostal space in the midaxillary line. Use the liver as your “acoustic window” and aim the probe slightly posteriorly (toward the kidney). Gently rock the probe (up and down or side to side) to scan the entire kidney. If needed, you can have the patient inspire or exhale, which allows for subtle movement of the kidney. • Obtain longitudinal (long axis) and transverse (short axis) views.

During a cross-sectional study from August 2005 to October 2007, 117 pa- tients underwent contrast-enhanced 64-slice multi-detector computed tomog- raphy renal angiography in Tabriz Imam Khomeini Hospital (Parsian Centre). The number of arteries, the number of branches and the presence of accessory arteries and early branching were assessed in the renal arteries on both sides.

    International Journal of Anatomy and Research, Int J Anat Res 2020, Vol 8(1.1):7221-25. ISSN 2321-4287 Original Research Article DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.16965/ijar.2019.343 ANATOMICAL AND EMBRYOLOGICAL STUDY OF RENAL HILUM Neeta Chhabra. Associate Professor, Department Of Anatomy, GS Medical College and Hospital, NH-24, Near Railway Station, Pilkhuwa, Hapur, India. ABSTRACT Introduction: As per standard text, the anteroposterior topographical arrangement of renal hilar structures are: vein-artery-renal pelvis. However, hilar variations are very common. Aim: The present study intends to increase awareness of possible variations in the hilar anatomy as they are of immense importance in invasive renal interventions. Materials and methods: A careful dissection of 51 embalmed cadaveric kidneys was carried out for the proper visualization of renal hilar structures and their relations were clearly defined. Observations and Results: Enormous renal hilar variation was observed. We classified these renal variations in 8 different patterns. Normal hilar arrangement was seen in 25.5% kidneys and in 74.5% cases this arrangement is disturbed. 43.1% kidneys demonstrated presence of retropelvic structures. Anterior and posterior tributaries of renal vein were displayed in 9.8% of cases Conclusion: Knowledge of the pattern of renal hilar structures is of great importance in the interventional radiological & laparoscopic renal surgeries thereby reducing the risk of vascular complications.

Normal and Variant Anatomy of Renal Hilar Structures and its Clinical Significance Anatomía Normal y Variante de las Estructuras Hiliares Renales y su Significancia Clínica Trivedi, S.; Athavale, S. & Kotgiriwar, S. TRIVEDI, S.; ATHAVALE, S. & KOTGIRIWAR, S. Normal and variant anatomy of renal hilar structures and its clinical significance. Int. J. Morphol., 29(4):1379-1383, 2011. SUMMARY: Advanced imaging techniques have resulted in increasing use of minimally invasive approaches for nephron sparing surgeries of kidney. Need for precise knowledge of normal and variant anatomy of vascular pedicle of kidney is thus justified. Ample literature is available on the variations in the intrarenal vascular pattern of the kidney, which are seen frequently. But the variation in arrangement of structures at the renal hilum has not gained much interest up till now. One hundred (51 right and 49 left) embalmed kidneys were utilized for the present study. Careful dissection of renal hilar structures was carried out to observe antero-posterior relationship of structures at the hilum of the kidney. In majority (73%), the arrangement was not according to the normal textbook description i.e. renal vein, renal artery and pelvis arranged antero-posteriorly. In 31% anterior division of renal artery was seen in front of renal vein at the hilum, whereas, in 50% cases the pelvis was not the posterior most relation. The variable patterns observed were classified into five types. In cases of renal hilar tumors laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is being done with a limited field of vision. Knowledge of these variations is useful for operating surgeons to identify and individually clamp the hilar structures, which is advantageous over en-bloc clamping.
