Editing Camillo Golgi (section)

===Kidney===
Golgi studied kidney function during 1882 to 1889. In 1882, he published his observations on the mechanism of [[renal hypertrophy]], which he understood to be due to renal cell proliferation. In 1884, he described tubular cell mitoses in the kidney of a person suffering from [[tubulointerstitial nephritis]], and he noted that the process was an essential part of repairing the kidney tissue. He was the first to dissect out intact [[nephrons]], and show that the distal tubulus ([[loop of Henle]]) of the nephron returns to its originating [[Glomerulus (kidney)|glomerulus]], a finding that he published in 1889 ("Annotazioni intorno all'Istologia dei reni dell'uomo e di altri mammifieri e sull'istogenesi dei canalicoli oriniferi". ''Rendiconti R. Acad. Lincei'' 5: 545–557, 1889).<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Dal Canton|first1=Ilaria|last2=Calligaro|first2=Alessandro L.|last3=Dal Canton|first3=Francesca|last4=Frosio-Roncalli|first4=Moris|last5=Calligaro|first5=Alberto|title=Contributions of Camillo Golgi to Renal Histology and Embryology|journal=American Journal of Nephrology|date=1999|volume=19|issue=2|pages=304–307|doi=10.1159/000013465|pmid=10213832|s2cid=29666037}}</ref>
