Each nephron is made of a tubule and is responsible for 'cleaning' the blood by removing urea and excess water and mineral ions. Blood passes through the nephron inside the kidneys, there are many ...

by inhibiting the sodium/chloride cotransporter located in the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron (the functional unit of a kidney). Thiazides are also used as a common treatment for high blood ...

Each nephron is made up of a renal corpuscle, the glomerulus, and of a complex tubular portion, which drains into a unifying tubular system, the collecting duct system. The tubular portion consists of ...

As the filtrate moves along the complex tubular structure of each nephron, its components can be concentrated in excess of threefold in the proximal tubule, and in some cases to much higher levels ...

Each nephron consists of a tubule and a glomerulus. While diabetic kidney disease is characterized by initial glomerular injury, proximal tubule dysfunction determines the progression to kidney ...

It has also been suggested that long-term administration of loop diuretics, as seen in CHF, may be associated with pharmacologic changes within the nephron ... early distal tubule causing cell ...

Upon binding of desmopressin to V2 receptors in the basolateral membrane of the cells of the distal tubule and collecting ducts of the nephron, adenylyl cyclase is stimulated. The resulting ...
