2. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

   In 1997, it was proven that wounds created with an instrument that are under 2mm can heal scar free, [8] but larger wounds that are larger than 2mm healed with a scar. [ 8 ] In 2013, it was proven in pig tissue that full thickness micro columns of tissue, less than 0.5mm in diameter could be removed and that the replacement tissue, was ...

3. Renal compensation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_compensation

   Renal compensation is a mechanism by which the kidneys can regulate the plasma pH. It is slower than respiratory compensation, but has a greater ability to restore normal values. Kidneys maintain the acid-base balance through two mechanisms: (1) the secretion of H + ions into the urine (from the blood) and (2) the reabsorption of bicarbonate ...

   Size of a normal pig kidney (left) compared to a solitary pig kidney (right). Compensatory growth is a type of regenerative growth that can take place in a number of human organs after the organs are either damaged, removed, or cease to function. [1] Additionally, increased functional demand can also stimulate this growth in tissues and organs. [2]

   AKI - the other main type of kidney disease - can be caused by dehydration, blood loss, urinary tract obstructions such as kidney stones or blood clots, low blood pressure, or heart disease. It ...

6. Healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing

   The existing epithelial cells can replicate, and, using the basement membrane as a guide, eventually bring the kidney back to normal. After regeneration is complete, the damage is undetectable, even microscopically. [citation needed] Healing must happen by repair in the case of injury to cells that are unable to regenerate (e.g. neurons).

7. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

   This illustration demonstrates the normal kidney physiology, including the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT), Loop of Henle, and Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). It also includes illustrations showing where some types of diuretics act, and what they do. Renal physiology (Latin renes, "kidneys") is the study of the physiology of the kidney.
