| Feulgen reagent | <chemical> A staining substance which specifically stains DNA. Robert Feulgen, in 1914, used this stain to find out that DNA is the hereditary material in cells. (09 Oct 1997) |

| Folin's reagent | The reaction of amino acids in alkaline solution with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (Folin's reagent) to yield a red colour; useful for quantitative assay. Synonym: Folin's reagent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fouchet's reagent | A 25% solution of trichloroacetic acid, containing 0.9% ferric chloride; a drop of the reagent added at the surface line of barium chloride-impregnated filter paper which has been dipped in urine for 10 sec will give a green colour if bilirubin is present. See: Fouchet's stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Froehde's reagent | Sodium molybdate 1, in strong sulfuric acid 1000; gives various colour reactions with alkaloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Frohn's reagent | Bismuth subnitrate (1.5) and water (20.0) heated to boiling, to which hydrochloric acid (10.0) and potassium iodide (7.0) are added; used to test for alkaloids and for sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lloyd's reagent | Precipitated aluminum silicate, used in the determination of alkaloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute kidney failure | <nephrology> A sudden decline in renal function may be triggered by a number of acute disease processes. Examples include sepsis (infection), shock, trauma, kidney stones, kidney infection, drug toxicity (aspirin or lithium), poisons or toxins (drug abuse) or after injection with an iodinated contrast dye (adverse effect). Chronic renal failure represents a slow decline in kidney function over time. Chronic renal failure may be caused by a number of disorders which include long-standing hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, lupus or sickle cell anaemia. Both forms of renal failure result in a life-threatening metabolic derangement. (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute kidney transplant rejection | <radiology> Findings on ultrasound: globular enlargment of the kidney, swelling and hypoechogenicity of the medullary pyramids, indistinct cortico-medullary junction, foci in the renal cortex (12 Dec 1998) |
| african green monkey kidney cell | <cell culture> Cells taken from the kidneys of the African green monkey Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus and used to grow certain viruses like poliovirus. (05 Feb 1998) |
| amyloid kidney | A kidney in which amyloidosis has occurred, usually in association with some chronic illness such as multiple myeloma, tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, or other chronic suppurative inflammation; such kidney's are moderately enlarged and grossly manifest a waxy appearance, with amyloid deposited beneath the endothelium in the glomerular loops and in the arterioles, apparently beginning as foci of thickening of the basement membranes. Synonym: waxy kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior inferior segmental artery of kidney | Origin, anterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti anterioris inferioris renis, artery of anterior {inferior segment of kidney}. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior segmental artery of kidney | Origin, anterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti anterioris superioris renis, artery of anterior {superior segment of kidney}. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior surface of kidney | The anterior surface of the kidney. Synonym: facies anterior renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-kidney serum nephritis | Experimental glomerulonephritis produced by injection of antiserum to kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arciform veins of kidney | Veins that parallel the arcuate arteries, receive blood from interlobular veins and straight venules, and terminate in interlobar veins. Synonym: venae arcuatae renis, arciform veins of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
