Certainly an interesting specimen. The first A-type specimen that I've dissected in a long while. Santiago, hrm..., Ruiz, of the dear Reapers of Sirius, had a kidneys possessing function nearly 2 times that of normal human kidney function. It was a pity, but I just had to dissect one of them to investigate how exactly cardamine had altered it.

I was surprised, though only moderately so. Only a novice would have suspected additional nephrons, but that would only speed up the filtration process, not make it more efficient. It turns out that persons like Mr. Ruiz have two loops of henle. Essentially, his one kidney could perform the work of 2.

Kidneys are essential to human life and longevity. Perhaps they are the key to Outcast longevity, even with the base medical systems that they have on Malta?

The other, I've already iced and packaged to prepare for shipment.

The request was rather an interesting one... apparently it was bound for Kusari. All protein diet getting to them?
