Today’s Sampson Lab Dictionary word: glomerulus — a tiny but powerful filter inside the kidney that helps clean the blood and start the process of making urine.

Small structure, big job.

We are back with the Sampson Lab Dictionary! Today, we are covering gene expression

The process of turning genetic information into action. 🧬 Basically, it is how your cells decide which instructions to use, when to use them, and how much of a protein or RNA product to make.

Kidney disease impacts more than physical health; it also affects how people think, feel, and navigate everyday life.

Supporting mental health is not separate from treating kidney disease; it’s part of it.

Diagnosing nephrotic syndrome starts with understanding what’s happening inside the body 🧬
Each test plays a role in guiding the right diagnosis and the right care.
