title: [Kidney function from the molecular viewpoint].
abstract: Over the last 10-15 years the use of cellular and molecular biology permitted the analysis of kidney function at a cellular/molecular level. These advances allow a more detailed understanding of physiological/pathophysiological mechanisms. By taking examples from our studies on the renal handling of inorganic phosphate this gain in knowledge' is illustrated.
