The urinary system, also called the renal system, is the principal excretion pathway for human metabolites. Its main function – excretion, refers to the physiological processes of eliminating excess substances that are produced during the metabolism of the body that are not used by the body or that are harmful to the body. It can also help regulate water and salt metabolism and acid-base balance and plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the body’s environment. Common urinary system diseases include glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and nephroblastoma.
The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Primary urinary cells isolated from these tissues are important research tools for the studies of excretion function and urinary system diseases development. AcceGen offers 22 different types of human primary cells associated with the urinary system, including human renal epithelial cells, human renal mesangial cells, human kidney fibroblasts, human glomerular microvascular endothelial cells, human bladder epithelial cells, etc.
