Please expand[edit]
International Society of Nephrology has been created. The website is vague about its officers and the year of its establishment. Anyone have some sources? JFW | T@lk 11:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Nuclear imaging & MAG3[edit]
I had a go at expanding the stub of MAG3 scan (renaming in the process). Its better than it was and with quite a few refs added, but style of language could have a freshen up. Also I now lack the technical specialist knowledge to correctly add much about its modern role (vs US/S, CT, MRI) both within the article itself and in inserting mentions of the scan into chronic kidney disease (as here), renal artery stenosis (as here) etc. Also I've long since forgotten the role for DMSA scan (which is redlinked - only DMSA exists as an article).
Could people have a look please :-) David Ruben Talk 21:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Renal function[edit]
Just a heads up for Renal function: coverage of GFR & estimated Creatinine Clearance was all duplicated at Glomerular filtration rate and creatinine clearance and I've merged the lot (using I hope best phrased bits and incorporating the wealth of references given) (see Talk:Renal function#Proposed merger GFR into Renal Function).
I've tried hard to distinguish GFR & Ccr which can both be measured acurately, from formulae used to estimnate both (eGFR & eCcr). To assist with this, describing Ccr as an "estimation" of GFR would be confusing, so we should probably use "aproximate/approximation" when contrasting GFR to Ccr.
Memtion also probably needs to be made of nuclear medicine assessment of renal function (eg MAG3 scan looking at relative function over the different areas of a single kidney, and differential function between a left & right kidney - or for that matter a transplanted kidney)
Obviously important topic for nephrology project, so can people have a look at what always risks being a confusing topic for lay readers and tweak my English :-) David Ruben Talk 05:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- We might as well discuss actual renal function and physiological and clinical measures together. Good call. JFW | T@lk 06:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Thin ascending loop of henle[edit]
Thin ascending limb of loop of Henle article is a mess and requires factual cleanup.
Not really sure if each of the sub-sections of the Loop of Henle really need their own article. Perhaps can be merged (at least the ascending limb).. CrocodilesAreForWimps (talk) 18:46, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Archived some threads[edit]
I've archived some inactive threads to subsections which were notifications about discussions that have since been closed. — Cirt (talk) 18:33, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
