| | Renal Microcirculation |
| | One of the major ways in which this is effected is as the fluid in the renal tubules descends deep into the medulla it encounters an increasing interstitial small solute concentration. | | | The renal medulla is however not inhabited soley by the renal tubules, there is also notably the renal microcirculation. | | | This exerts an osmotic pressure across the tubular membrane, pulling fluid back out of the tubules and resorbing it into the body, hence the hypertonicity of small solutes in the renal medulla is crucial for water conservation within the body. |

| | The renal tubules, commencing in the renal corpuscles, present, during their course, many changes in shape and direction, and are contained partly in the medullary and partly in the cortical substance. | | | The cells are somewhat columnar in shape and dovetail into one another of their lateral aspect. | | | Throughout this portion of their course the renal tubules are contained entirely in the cortical substance, and present a fairly uniform caliber. |

| | The most important of these receptors are situated in the distal portion of the renal tubules. | | | The optimal effect is dependent on a sufficient sodium supply in the distal portion of the renal tubules, as it can be observed in thiazide treatments. | | | Spironolactone is a synthetic steroid with an aldosterone-like structure; it acts as a competitive antagonist at aldosterone receptors. |

| | AllRefer Health - Nephrocalcinosis |
| | Nephrocalcinosis may therefore be discovered when symptoms of renal insufficiency/renal failure, obstructive uropathy, or urinary tract stones develop. | | | Nephrocalcinosis is a kidney disorder involving deposition of calcium and oxalate or phosphate in the renal tubules and interstitium (the areas between the tubules). | | | This condition is relatively common in premature infants, partly from intrinsic kidney calcium losses and partly from enhanced calcium excretion when they are given loop diuretics. |

| | Unlike the isosmotic fluid transfer across most vertebrate proximal tubules, the secreted fluid in this teleost could be hyperosmotic to the bathing medium. | | | This mechanism of NaCl-dependent fluid secretion has been previously undetected because renal clearances showed the overall net reabsorption of NaCl and water | | | More importantly, fluid secretion was not dependent on the transport of Mg, S or organic ions |
