2. If we see morphology of kidney we come to know that kidney consist of pelvis, medulla and cortex and the functional unit of kidney is nephron which is sieve and responsible for the filtration and formation of urine.

3. Main morphologic changes in kidneys is nephron inflammation due to which they become less. Second one is glomerulus inflammation.

4. Morphologic changes in kidney may lead to the renal failures, renal calculi and glomerulonephritis, BP.

5. Short term complications include - Blood pressure, increase in creatinine level and sweating

6. Long term complication - kidney failures, hypodynamic state of heart, death.
