Disease mechanisms of the kidney

If kidneys are damaged or otherwise not performing as they should, wastes
accumulate in the blood. These can damage and impair both the kidney and
other tissues and organs in the body.

In this section, we will discuss several disease mechanisms that are being
researched within EuReGene using simplified models:
   
Filtering defects in the glomerulus (1)
   
Recycling problems along the tubule (2)
   
Malfunction of the urine concentration mechanism (3)
