[The regulation of proximal tubule function].
This paper deals with the recent concept that the effectiveness of coupling between filtration and reabsorption is influenced by local and circulating hormones and by renal sympathetic nerves. The evidence supports a view of the proximal tubule as being an important regulator of extracellular fluid composition and blood pressure.
