Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is expressed by renal glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes) and is thought to be protective against nephrotoxic agents. VEGF has been shown to be an autocrine survival factor in neuropilin-1-positive, VEGF receptor-negative breast carcinoma cells.

PODOCYTES ARE HIGHLY SPECIALIZED cells, which form multiple interdigitating foot processes. They are interconnected by slit diaphragms and cover the exterior basement membrane surface of the glomerular capillary. Patch-clamp studies in podocytes of the intact glomerulum. The three resident glomerular cell types, i.

Glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes) play an important role in the pathogenesis of proteinuria. Podocyte foot process effacement is characteristic for proteinuric kidneys, and genetic defects in podocyte slit diaphragm proteins may cause nephrotic syndrome.

Induction of B7-1 in podocytes is associated with nephrotic syndrome. Kidney podocytes and their slit diaphragms form the final barrier to urinary protein loss. This explains why podocyte injury is typically associated with nephrotic syndrome.

Kidney glomerulus (podocytes and capillaries of the renal corpuscle). Note the exposed red blood cells in a capillary. The glomerulus consists of a tightly coiled network of capillaries surrounded by podocytes. There about 1 million glomeruli in each kidney.

Our kidneys do a grand job removing the toxic waste products of metabolism. This process is called excretion. Our kidneys produce urine which contains urea, excess salts and excess water. be able to label a diagram of the kidney; explain what is meant by excretion;
