| renal columns | The prolongations of cortical substance separating the pyramids of the kidney. Synonym: columnae renales, Bertin's columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal corpuscle | The tuft of glomerular capillaries and the capsula glomeruli that encloses it. Synonym: corpusculum renis, malpighian corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal cortex | The part of the kidney consisting of renal lobules in the outer zone beneath the capsule and also the lobules of the renal columns that are extensions inward between the pyramids; contains the renal corpuscles and the proximal and distal convoluted tubules.

| renal cortical lobule | One of the subdivisions of the kidney, consisting of a medullary ray and that portion of the convoluted port (renal corpuscles and convoluted tubules) associated with its collecting duct. Synonym: lobulus corticalis renalis, renal cortical lobule, renculus, reniculus, renunculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal diabetes | The recurring or persistent excretion of glucose in the urine, in association with blood glucose levels that are in the normal range; results from the failure of proximal renal tubules to reabsorb glucose at a normal rate from the glomerular filtrate (low renal threshold); defect in the glucose carrier in the nephron. Synonym: diabetes innocens, normoglycaemic glycosuria, renal diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal epistaxis | Haematuria occurring without a detectable lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |

| renal ganglia | Small scattered sympathetic ganglia along the renal plexus. Synonym: ganglia renalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal glycosuria | The recurring or persistent excretion of glucose in the urine, in association with blood glucose levels that are in the normal range; results from the failure of proximal renal tubules to reabsorb glucose at a normal rate from the glomerular filtrate (low renal threshold); defect in the glucose carrier in the nephron. Synonym: diabetes innocens, normoglycaemic glycosuria, renal diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal haematuria | Haematuria resulting from extravasation of blood into the glomerular spaces, or tubules, or pelves of the kidneys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal haemorrhage | Gross haematuria, the source of which is in the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
