Each consists of an outer renal cortex and an inner renal medulla. Nephrons flow between these sections. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule.

A total of 58% of the donors were women, and the mean (±SD) age of the donors was 44±12 years. The mean GFR was 115±24 ml per minute, the mean number of nephrons was 860,000±370,000 per kidney ...

The renal cortex sits on the outside of the medulla. The cortex makes erythropoietin, which the body uses to manufacture red blood cells. What is the function of the medulla?

RCC, also called renal adenocarcinoma, originates in the tubules of the renal cortex (the outer portion of the kidney where the primary functions of the kidney occur). It is responsible for 80%-85 ...
