Kidneys are way smarter than we think ❤️ From Guyton physiology ureter renal reflex ! When ureter is blocked (eg stone) afferent from ureter goes to afferent arteriole to reduce urine formation in the blocked system ! #Nephsky #medsky

The Importance of Hope in Patients with CKD❤️ From AJKD in a few words A few inspiring patient quotes from www.ajkd.org/action/showP... "...every month you go for your blood test and you kind of hope and pray that the results are going to be good." #Nephsky #Medsky 1/2

Superficially, it might be said that the function of the kidneys is to make urine, but in a more considered view, one can say that the kidneys make the stuff of philosophy itself. ❤️❤️ #fishtophilosopher #nephsky
