  2. Renal sodium reabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_sodium_reabsorption

    Although only a fragment of total reabsorption happens here, it is the main part of intervention. This is e.g. done by endogenous production of aldosterone, increasing reabsorption. Since the normal excretion rate of sodium is ~100mmoles/day, then a regulation of the absorption of still more than 1000 mmoles/day entering the collecting duct ...

  3. Reabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reabsorption

    Reabsorption allows many useful solutes (primarily glucose and amino acids), salts and water that have passed through Bowman's capsule, to return to the circulation. These solutes are reabsorbed isotonically , in that the osmotic potential of the fluid leaving the proximal convoluted tubule is the same as that of the initial glomerular filtrate.

  4. Collecting duct system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collecting_duct_system

    The collecting duct system is the final component of the kidney to influence the body's electrolyte and fluid balance. In humans, the system accounts for 4–5% of the kidney's reabsorption of sodium and 5% of the kidney's reabsorption of water. At times of extreme dehydration, over 24% of the filtered water may be reabsorbed in the collecting ...

  5. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

    The kidney is responsible for about half of the total gluconeogenesis in fasting humans. The regulation of glucose production in the kidney is achieved by action of insulin, catecholamines and other hormones. [14] Renal gluconeogenesis takes place in the renal cortex. The renal medulla is incapable of producing glucose due to absence of ...

  6. Renal protein reabsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_protein_reabsorption

    Renal protein reabsorption is the part of renal physiology that deals with the retrieval of filtered proteins, preventing them from disappearing from the body through the urine. Almost all reabsorption takes place in the proximal tubule. Only ~1% [1] is left in the final urine. The proteins cross the apical membrane by endocytosis.

  7. Renal urea handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_urea_handling

    About 40% of the urea filtered is normally found in the final urine, [1] since there is more reabsorption than secretion along the nephron. It is regulated by antidiuretic hormone , which controls the amount reabsorbed in the collecting duct system and secreted into the loop of Henle .
