Balkan endemic nephropathy [1] (BEN) is a form of interstitial nephritis causing kidney failure.It was first identified in the 1920s among several small, discrete communities along the Danube River and its major tributaries, in the modern countries of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Romania, and Bulgaria.
It was most commonly used historically to treat liver diseases, kidney diseases, and spleen problems. [154] Teucrium scordium: Water germander It has been used for asthma, diarrhea, fever, intestinal parasites, hemorrhoids, and wounds. [155] Thymus vulgaris: Thyme: The plant is used to treat bronchitis and cough.
Strong evidence suggests that renal stem cells are located in the renal papilla. [2] Using stain-retaining assay (with bromodeoxyuridine, or BrdU), a low-cycling cell population was found in the papillary region, which was able to divide rapidly to repair the damage caused by transcient renal ischemia.

In the mammalian kidney, the regeneration of the tubular component following an acute injury is well known. Recently regeneration of the glomerulus has also been documented. Following an acute injury, the proximal tubule is damaged more, and the injured epithelial cells slough off the basement membrane of the nephron.
[19] [20] Explaining the new class of therapies that such cells could enable, he used the term "regenerative medicine" in the way that it is used today: "an approach to therapy that ... employs human genes, proteins and cells to re-grow, restore or provide mechanical replacements for tissues that have been injured by trauma, damaged by disease ...
The treatment of a disease is the application of what such disease is forbidden to come in contact with, at whose sight must simply disappear. [4] Homeopathic medicine is said to be more concerned with identifying the causes of the illness and disease in an effort to restore holistic balance in the biological system.
The agency warned that consumption of aristolochic acid-containing products was associated with "permanent kidney damage, sometimes resulting in kidney failure that has required kidney dialysis or kidney transplantation. In addition, some patients have developed certain types of cancers, most often occurring in the urinary tract." [24]
Kidney disease, or renal disease, technically referred to as nephropathy, is damage to or disease of a kidney. Nephritis is an inflammatory kidney disease and has several types according to the location of the inflammation. Inflammation can be diagnosed by blood tests. Nephrosis is non-inflammatory kidney disease.
