Potassium is a mineral needed for vital bodily functions. But people with kidney disease may need to know which high potassium foods to avoid. Here we discuss how to create such a diet.

There are several types of kidney (renal) cancer. Each type is potentially curable if it’s found and treated early before the cancer has a chance to spread. Kidney cancer is categorized in stages from ...

These concentration differences set up an osmotic gradient that promotes the flow of excess water from cerebral tissue to the blood via osmosis. Osmosis occurs because water moves passively along ...

Staying hydrated can help pass kidney stones faster. Certain substances, including apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, may help prevent kidney stones, but they are not confirmed to be effective ...

In chronic kidney disease, the kidneys are unable to filter excess water and waste out of your blood as they should. Early detection of kidney disease combined with dietary and lifestyle changes can ...

PostCSS plugin to create smooth linear-gradients that approximate easing functions. Visual examples and online editor on larsenwork.com/easing-gradients ...

However, there is a marked difference in osmotic potential between the epidermal layer (0.63 MPa) and the internal tissues (0.56 MPa). Consequently, the water potential is more negative in the outer ...

Part of Nature Outlook: Medical diagnostics Until 2020, US clinicians routinely interpreted diagnostic tests that estimate kidney function using equations that incorporated race — specifically ...
