| renal osteodystrophy | Generalised changes in the bone which resemble osteomalacia and rickets, occurring in those with chronic renal failure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| renal papilla | <anatomy> The apex of a renal pyramid that projects into a minor calyx; some 10 to 25 openings of papillary ducts occur on its tip, forming the area cribrosa. Synonym: papilla renalis. (07 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: hypothalamohypophysial portal system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal pyramid | One of a number of pyramidal masses seen on longitudinal section of the kidney; collectively, they constitute the renal medulla, and contain part of the secreting tubules and the collecting tubules. Synonym: pyramis renalis, malpighian pyramid, medullary pyramid. (05 Mar 2000) |
