Extract: This report concerns two patients with primary renal tubular acidosis (RTA) in whom the abnormality in hydrogen excretion was shown to result from inappropriate urinary loss of bicarbonate ...

The role of the kidney in blood glucose-level regulation was until recently underestimated. Renal gluconeogenesis, renal glucose uptake and tubular glucose reabsorption are the three ways of renal ...

EXPERIMENTS performed during the past few years have demonstrated that the control of sodium excretion is not determined simply by changes in glomerular filtration and the secretion of aldosterone.

Renal drug excretion involves filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, crucial for drug clearance and minimizing toxicity. The study models renal clearance using pharmacokinetic parameters, validated ...

The kidneys play a dominant role in regulating both the volume and composition of the extracellular fluid. They function to ensure that the body maintains a homeostatic internal environment. They ...
