The nephron in transport of sodium, amino acids, and glucose.
The ability of the kidney to maintain overall control of sodium and fluid balance appears greater than the sum of its parts, yet microperfusion and dissection studies that have assigned particular transport processes to individual segments of the nephron are helping to clarify a number of clinical states. Among those that can be so localized are certain congenital disorders accompanied by glycosuria and aminoaciduria.
