Ban Rambozo/Blackbob?

[Phobia]

We haven't done this in a long time but it's time for you guys to decide.

We don't think he's necessarily breaking rules but he seems to be annoying a lot of people. 51% decides his fate (3rd option is an "abstain" so it will be majority between options one and two). I'm gonna let this thing run until 10:00 PM on Monday.

Dude, I'm sure you're prepping for a nice paycheck but that just sounds AWFUL.

Renal is. It's all about electrochemical/concentration gradients, transporters, and stuff that is really boring.

The kidney blows.

So I should donate mine to science?

The renal system isn't that bad. Come on bro. Proteins pull and water pushes. End of story.


You med school guys.

I'm going to roll into the test having studied that and that only.

I'll let you know how it works out.

Pre or postmortem?
Pre-You die
Post- Eh, not much contribution outside of helping M1's learn anatomy. All the studies cited in class are done by injecting some sort of dye with certain properties and quantifying how the kidney handles it. Not much can be found in a dead kidney.

Can they experiment on it while it's still in my body?

Well, you actually only need one................so

My dad is a urologist.

Oh, and he also loves a good rape joke.

Yeah, that's the idea behind injecting things into your bloodstream and seeing how the kidneys handle them. The substances are filtered, secreted, reabsorbed, and excreted at different rates and that's how we can quantify clinically relevant values.

However, this is rarely done outside of research studies. But if you committed to one, they would do that

True.......but alterations in GFR would alter your ability to compensate for changes in blood pressure, which would restrict you to a shitty diet.

And I was assuming he meant both.
