Red blood cells are thus much more common than the other blood particles: there are about 4,000â11,000 white blood cells and about 150,000â400,000 platelets in each microliter of human blood. Human red blood cells take on average 20 seconds to complete one cycle of circulation.
Â­Â­Your kidneys receive the blood from the renal artery, process it, return the processed blood to the body through the renal vein andÂ­ remove the wastes and other unwanted substances in the urine. Urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. In the bladder, the urine is stored until it is excreted from the body through the urethra. Now let's take a look inside your kidneys.
An incision is made into the abdomen to access the bladder and lift it off the urethra. A catheter is placed into the bladder through the urethra to aid urine drainage; it is usually removed within 10 days. Patients can return home after 2-3 days of hospitalization, with 2-4 weeks of recovery period.
