| | Learn what is happening in the body during ESRD. | | | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is divided into five stages, the last stage is called end stage renal disease (ESRD) and is the time when dialysis or transplant is needed to stay alive. | | | Take a look at the amazing history of kidney disease and how we’ve gotten this far. |

| | Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus may also be acquired (developed as a result of another disorder) in some people, especially those who have disorders of the renal medulla (such as amyloidosis), myeloma, malnutrition, analgesic nephropathy, decreased serum potassium levels, increased serum calcium levels, sickle cell anemia, and in women who are or who have recently been pregnant. | | | It may be acquired by people who are taking medications including demeclocycline, lithium, and methicillin. | | | This medication works by causing sodium and water to be excreted in the early part of the renal tubules (the proximal tubules). |

| | This is a pretty typical field from the renal medulla. | | | It will also (usually) stain less intensely with HandE than the other tubules. | | | The long Loops of Henle will descend quite a ways into the medulla, and the collecting ducts pass all the way through it. |

| | But why would they name them "medullary rays" when they are only found in the cortex? | | | The medullary ray is composed of proximal and distal tubules going to and from the medulla, and collecting ducts. |

| | Renal Medulla |
| | The "renal medulla" is composed of conical masses of tissue called "renal pyramids," whose bases are directed toward the convex surface of the kidney, and which apex to form the renal papillae. | | | The "renal cortex" forms a shell around the medulla. | | | The substance of the kidney is divided into two distinct regions: an inner medulla and an outer cortex. |
