Bud Large White

A large white bud is a bud that has significantly increased in volume and weight. On a section of such a kidney, the cortex appears swollen and has a pale gray color, and the medulla is red.

The large white kidney is a morphological sign of lipoid nephrosis - a kidney disease in which lipids accumulate in them. This leads to disruption of the structure of renal tubular cells and the development of protein deficiency.

With lipoid nephrosis, the kidneys increase in size and change color. The increase is explained by swelling of the cortex, and the change in color is associated with the accumulation of lipids in the cells. The cortex becomes pale gray, while the medulla retains its normal red color due to the presence of blood vessels.

Thus, a large white kidney is a characteristic sign of lipoid nephrosis and reflects pathological changes in the structure and function of the kidney in this disease.

A large white kidney, or a bluish kidney, is one of the most common morphological signs of lipoid (fatty) nephrosis in adults. This term is used in medicine to describe a significant increase in the volume and weight of the kidney, in which the cortex appears swollen and pale gray in color, and the medulla appears red. The bluish color of the organ is associated with an increased content of fat (lipoids) in its tissues. Such changes are the result of dysfunction of fat metabolism and metabolic disorders. The kidney becomes white due to the fact that fat cells begin to produce an excess amount of lipoids, which accumulate in the tissue of the organ and give it a bluish tint.

Lipoid nephrosis belongs to a group of nephropathies that arise due to disturbances in the functioning of the kidneys. The causes of this pathology can be different: infectious diseases, chronic inflammatory processes, intoxication of the body, lipid metabolism disorders, etc. In some patients, this condition may be asymptomatic and is then discovered by chance during a medical examination. In most cases, the clinical manifestations of the disease are not specific, but may be accompanied by shortness of breath, general weakness and fever. When palpated, the organ becomes dense and large.

The cyanosis of the kidney is confirmed by its enlargement (up to two times), hypoechoic contents of the parenchyma and swelling. Further examination may include ultrasound diagnostics
