• Acute kidney injury [r]: Formerly termed acute renal failure (ARF), an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function currently defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine, a percentage increase in serum creatinine , or a reduction in urine output beyond quantitatively defined levels ^[e]
• Adrenal glands [r]: A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two kidneys. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the adrenal cortex producing glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids and the adrenal medulla producing neurotransmitters. ^[e]
• Amanita phalloides [r]: The poisonous Death Cap mushroom, renowned as one of the most toxic of all fungi. ^[e]
• Amino acid [r]: Biochemical with an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain bonded to a central carbon. ^[e]
• Angiotensin [r]: Oligopeptides which are important in the regulation of blood pressure (vasoconstriction) and fluid homeostasis via the renin-angiotensin system. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. ^[e]
• Autonomic and endocrine functions and music [r]: Theory that music has therapeutic purposes by interacting with autonomic and endocrine functions. ^[e]
• Chronic kidney disease [r]: Kidney damage or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) for 3 months or more, irrespective of cause. ^[e]
• Diabetes insipidus [r]: Disease caused by a deficiency in the secretion of vasopressin, or by the failure of the kidney to respond to vasopressin. ^[e]
• Dialysis [r]: A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not. ^[e]
• Diuretic [r]: Agents that promote the excretion of urine through their effects on kidney function. ^[e]
• Drugs banned from the Olympics [r]: Substances prohibited for use by athletes prior to, and during competing in the Olympics. ^[e]
• Ebola [r]: A virus that causes severe hemhorragic fever and often death, that is easily spread. ^[e]
• Emergence (biology) [r]: The exhibition of novel collective phenomena in living systems stemming from a complex organization of their many constituent parts. ^[e]
• Endocrinology [r]: Generically, the study of glands and the hormonal regulation of physiology; also the subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with diseases of the endocrine system ^[e]
• Erythropoietin [r]: A protein hormone produced by the kidneys in response to hypoxia; it is essential for normal development and maturation of red blood cells (RBC). ^[e]
• Fungus [r]: A eukaryotic organism, classified into the kingdom Fungi, that is heterotrophic and digest their food externally, and may be a yeast, mold, or mushroom. ^[e]
• Gluconeogenesis [r]: Formation of glucose, especially by the liver, from noncarbohydrate precursors, such as amino acids, lactate, pyruvate, and the glycerol portion of fats. ^[e]
• Glycogen [r]: Polysaccharide that is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals and occurs primarily in the liver and muscle tissue. ^[e]
• Gold [r]: Chemical element 79, symbol Au, a lustrous corrosion-resistant precious metal used for money, electronics and jewelry. ^[e]
• Hemodiafiltration [r]: The combination of hemodialysis and hemofiltration either simultaneously or sequentially. ^[e]
• Hippurate [r]: A natural metabolite and conjugate base of hippuric acid that serves as a general indicator of kidney function. ^[e]
• Hormone [r]: A chemical director of biological activity that travels through some portion of the body as a messenger. ^[e]
• Hypothalamus [r]: A part of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon. ^[e]
