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?

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 ...

Investigator assessed the prognostic value of total inflammation in the kidney cortex for CKD progression in patients with lupus nephritis.

Small incidental renal masses account for over 60% of the projected 51,000 newly diagnosed renal cortical tumors (RCTs) in the US each year.

Circular ROIs were placed in the most enhancing component of the mass and in ipsilateral renal cortex (circles, B), to determine the mass-to-cortex corticomedullary attenuation ratio.
