Physiology

Proximal tubule:
all electr­olytes, glucose and amino acids
Descending Henle:
WATER
Ascending Henle:
Na-K-2Cl
Ca, Mg (passi­vely)
Distal tubule:
Na-Cl
Ca (PTH)
Collecting duct:
Water (ADH)
Na (aldosterone)
K, H excretion (aldos­terone)

Physiology

acid-base balance: HCO3- reabso­rption, H+ excretion
electrical neutra­lity: Cl- follows Na+
PTH → Ca reabso­rption, PO4 excretion

Failure

Hyperv­olemia
hypoNa
HyperK
hypoCa
HyperPO4
HyperMg
Metabolic acidosis
