11. Other reports have suggested the renal tubule and renal capsule to be the site of stem cells. 12. The body's renal tubules become unable to handle the excess nitrogen, causing a buildup and, possibly, kidney failure. 13. The protein acts like a dam as it forms into tight aggregates when it enters the renal tubules . 14. Rhabdomyolysis can result in damage to the kidneys as a result of myoglobin accumulation in the renal tubules . 15. Simultaneously, precursors of vascular endothelial cells begin to take their position at the tips of the renal tubules . 16. In kidneys, the renal tubules have hyaline droplet deposition in the epithelia and hyaline casts in the lumen. 17. Cysts initially form as small dilations in renal tubules , which then expand to form fluid-filled cavities of different sizes. 18. The protein cubilin binds to intrinsic factor-cobalamin complex and is expressed in the distal small intestine and proximal renal tubule . 19. Ammonia may itself diffuse across the renal tubules , combine with a hydrogen ion, and thus allow for further acid excretion. 20. One interesting connection is that primary cilia in renal cells may perform a sensing function which maintains the renal tubules .
