Renal physiology is the study of the physiology of the kidneys.
The renal collecting ducts open into the renal pelvis and drain into the ureters which pass on the urine to the bladder.
A more formal test of renal function would be to measure the glomerular filtration rate; usually a creatinine clearance test is performed but other markers, such as the plant polysaccharide inulin, may be used as well.

Each nephron begins in a renal corpuscle, which is composed of a glomerulus enclosed in a Bowman's capsule.
Reabsorption is a two-step process beginning with the active or passive extraction of substances from the tubule fluid into the renal interstitium (the connective tissue that surrounds the nephrons), and then the transport of these substances from the interstitium into the bloodstream.

The contributors discuss the continuing advances in understanding of renal physiology which, combined with studies of genetics and the epidemiology of disease, provide a more complete picture of inherited renal disease.
Also covered are the latest strategies for the treatment and prevention of renal failure, nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, and chronic renal disease such as diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular disease.
The book concludes with an overview of new developments in the management of end stage renal disease, including haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation.

 Mathematical Models of Renal Physiology
The formation of hypertonic urine in mammals during periods of water deprivation is provided by the kidney's urine concentrating mechanism: water is aborbed, in excess of solute, from the collecting ducts into the vasculature of the renal medulla, thus increasing the osmolality of the urine.
This active transport favors the absorption of water from the water-permeable descending limbs and collecting ducts, and results in a ``single effect'', which is then multiplied by the countercurrent arrangement of renal tubules and blood vessels in the outer medulla.
While the hypothesis of the countercurrent multiplication for the outer medulla is believed to be well established, the urine concentrating mechanism in the inner medulla remains controversial.

 Membrane Transport and Renal Physiology
The workshop brought together physiologists, biophysicists, and applied mathematicians who share a common interest in solute and water transport in biological systems, especially in the integrated function of the kidney.
Workshop topics included solute fluxes throughion channels, cotransporters, and metabolicallydriven ion pumps; transport across fiber-matrix and capillary membranes; coordinated transport by renal epithelia; the urine concentrating mechanism; and intra-renal hemodynamic control.
This volume will be of interest to biological and mathematical scientists who would like a view of recent mathematical efforts to represent membrane transport and its role in renal function.

 Renal Physiology between Two Wars: The Contributions of Dr. Harvey Lester White - Karger Publishers
White's interest in the function of the kidney was evident early in his academic career when he pioneered research related to renal physiology.
Between 1932 and 1936, in an effort to better understand the process of glomerular filtration, he began a series of studies on streaming potentials, surface conductance, electro-endosmosis and other related topics.
We hope that this account will reveal at least a small dimension of the man and his contributions to renal physiology.

According to recent research from Australia, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression by both renal parenchymal and immune cells mediates murine crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN).
As both renal parenchymal cells and infiltrating inflammatory cells produce GM-CSF, their separate contributions to inflammatory renal injury were investigated by creation of two different types of GM-CSF chimeric mice: (1) GM-CSF-deficient (GM-CSF(-/-))->wild-type (WT) chimeras with leukocytes that are unable to produce GM-CSF and (2) WT->GM-CSF(-/-) chimeras with deficient renal cell GM-CSF...
