Enlarged kidney model incl. the adrenal gland showing a longitudinal section of the kidney

Anatomically, the model shows the kidney incl. the adrenal gland. Furthermore, the "renal stalk" is seen with blood vessels to and from the kidney and the renal pelvis. The beginning of the ureter is also included.



The kidney is shown in a longitudinal section. Anatomical structures such as the bark, the pith in the form of pyramids, blood vessels and the entire renal pelvis can be seen.

Clinically speaking, the kidney model can be used to understand disorders and diseases such as kidney insufficiency, inflammatory conditions, kidney stones, hydronephrosis and kidney tumors.



Furthermore, the model can be used to understand examinations such as ultrasound examination, CT urography and kidney function examination as well as treatment such as relief of drainage obstruction.
