| renal osteitis fibrosa | renal rickets |
| 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) |
| renal papillary necrosis | <nephrology> Necrosis of renal papillae, occurring in acute pyelonephritis, especially in diabetics, or in analgesic nephropathy; renal failure may result. Synonym: necrotizing papillitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| renal plasma flow | <physiology> The amount of plasma that perfuses the kidneys per unit time, approximately 10% greater than effective renal plasma flow. It should be differentiated from the renal blood flow which refers to the total volume of blood flowing through the renal vasculature, while the renal plasma flow refers to the rate of plasma flow.

| renal-portal | <anatomy> Both renal and portal. See Portal. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| renal portal system | An arterial portal system, in which efferent glomerular arterioles receive blood from the capillaries of the renal glomeruli and carry it to the peritubular capillary plexus surrounding the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. 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) |
| renal reflex | Anuria caused by injury to a remote part of the body or by disease or injury to one kidney or ureter. (05 Mar 2000) |

| renal segments | Regions of the kidney supplied by end arteries branching from the renal arteries; they are named anterior inferior segmentum, anterius superior segmentum, inferior segmentum, posterior segmentum, and superior segmentum. Synonym: segmenta renalia, arterial segments of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
