The main problem associated with the kidney transplant is immunologic, that is the immune system may reject the grafting of kidney considering it foreign substance. So to avoid this condition the donor and recipient have to undergo many tests.

Nearly all renal diseases result in hypertension. In fact, some clinicians have a 'rule' that states "unexplained hypertension is always a result of a problem with the kidneys until proven otherwise". Briefly explain why hypertension occurs in renal disease.
Blood vessels travel in parallel to provide fresh blood to all tissue. However, one of the exceptions is the two capillary beds of the kidneys located in series. Blood flow occurs as follows: afferent arteriole- glomerulus- efferent arteriole - the peritubular capillaries. How does this series of blood flow benefit the kidneys and homeostasis?
