Urinary System Notes
... • These products must be secreted in solution, so there is water loss. • Kidneys minimize this by producing a urine that is 4 to 5 times more concentrated than normal body fluids. • Kidneys also ensure that urine does not contain useful organic substances such as sugars and amino acids ...

Kidney transplantation
Kidney transplantation or renal transplantation is the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease. Kidney transplantation is typically classified as deceased-donor (formerly known as cadaveric) or living-donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ. Living-donor renal transplants are further characterized as genetically related (living-related) or non-related (living-unrelated) transplants, depending on whether a biological relationship exists between the donor and recipient. Exchanges and chains are a novel approach to expand the living donor pool.
