Metal Print : Hydronephrosis
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a human kidney, showing a renal tubule in hydronephrosis. The kidney contains tubules through which water and waste pass and where reabsorption occurs as urine is produced. At centre is the lumen of a renal tubule, surrounded by epithelial cells (green) with nuclei (pink). Due to hydro- nephrosis the basement membrane (brown) on which the epithelial cells rest is thickened. Hydronephrosis is a condition in which the kidney swells with urine due to a blockage in the urinary tract. This may severely damage the kidney and lead to kidney failure. Magnification: unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a human kidney affected by hydronephrosis. The image, captured using coloured transmission electron microscopy (TEM), reveals a renal tubule immersed in this condition. Renal tubules play a crucial role in filtering water and waste, facilitating urine production and reabsorption. At the heart of the image lies the lumen of a renal tubule, encircled by vibrant green epithelial cells with their distinct pink nuclei. However, due to hydronephrosis, an abnormal thickening of the basement membrane can be observed in brown hues beneath these cells. Hydronephrosis occurs when blockages obstruct the urinary tract, causing urine to accumulate within the kidney. This condition poses significant risks as it may lead to severe kidney damage or even failure if left untreated. The magnification level used for capturing this mesmerizing micrograph remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how microscopic details can hold immense importance in understanding diseases and conditions that affect our bodies. This photograph not only highlights medical aspects such as inflammation and disorders but also emphasizes the critical role played by healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating conditions like hydronephrosis.
