Introduction The kidneys are responsible for maintaining water, electrolyte, and acid-base homeostasis. They are effective at removing metabolic waste products, xenobiotics (drugs and toxins) and ...

Microphysiological systems (MPS) are powerful predictive tools for assessing drug-induced kidney injuries. Previous MPS have examined single regions of the nephron, but lack simultaneous filtration, ...

Inner workings of the nephron Hyderabad: This article is in continuation to the previous articles that focused the excretory system of living beings. Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT): • PCT is lined ...

The nephron is divided into proximal and distal by the macula densa (Fig 1B). Any change in salt reabsorption in the proximal nephron is compensated by the tubuloglomerular feedback, a mechanism that ...

That all three —filtration, reabsorption and secretion — are important, commonplace knowledge today, was not recognized until well into the present century.
