  2. Medullary sponge kidney - Wikipedia

    It is not certain what causes this pain, but researchers have proposed that the small numerous stones seen in MSK may cause obstruction of the small tubules and collecting ducts in the kidney. This pain can be constant, can often be debilitating and treatment is challenging. Narcotic medication, even in large quantities, is sometimes not adequate.

  3. Ureteric bud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ureteric_bud

    The ureteric bud, also known as the metanephric diverticulum, [1]: 50 is a protrusion from the mesonephric duct during the development of the urinary and reproductive organs. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It later develops into a conduit for urine drainage from the kidneys, which, in contrast, originate from the metanephric blastema .

  4. Metanephrogenic blastema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metanephrogenic_blastema

    The metanephrogenic blastema or metanephric blastema (or metanephric mesenchyme, or metanephric mesoderm) is one of the two embryological structures that give rise to the kidney, the other being the ureteric bud. The metanephric blastema mostly develops into nephrons, but can also form parts of the collecting duct system.

  5. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

    Denial of care in chronic kidney disease treatment and management is a significant issue for minority populations. This can be due to healthcare provider prejudice, structural barriers, and health insurance coverage disparities. Healthcare provider biases can lead to under-treatment, misdiagnosis, or delayed diagnosis.

  6. Kidney development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_development

    During the fifth week of gestation, the mesonephric duct develops an outpouching, the ureteric bud, near its attachment to the cloaca. This bud, also called the metanephrogenic diverticulum, grows posteriorly and towards the head of the embryo. The elongated stalk of the ureteric bud, called the metanephric duct, later forms the ureter.

  7. Ectopic ureter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_ureter

    Ectopic ureter (or ureteral ectopia) is a medical condition where the ureter, rather than terminating at the urinary bladder, terminates at a different site. [1] [2] In males this site is usually the urethra, in females this is usually the urethra or vagina. [3]

  8. Horseshoe kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_kidney

    Kidney stones – deviant orientation of kidneys combined with slow urine flow and kidney obstruction may increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Treatment is further complicated if patient possesses aberrant skeletal anatomy. [5] It is estimated 36% of patients with horseshoe kidneys will develop kidney stones. [6]

  9. Mesonephric duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesonephric_duct

    The mesonephric duct, also known as the Wolffian duct, archinephric duct, Leydig's duct or nephric duct, is a paired organ that develops in the early stages of embryonic development in humans and other mammals. It is an important structure that plays a critical role in the formation of male reproductive organs.
