  • Title: Membrane transport in the proximal tubule and thick ascending limb of Henle's loop: mechanisms and their alterations.
    Author: Murer H, Greger R.
    Journal: Klin Wochenschr; 1982 Sep 15; 60(18):1103-13. PubMed ID: 7144056.
    Abstract:
    Over the past few years, our knowledge on renal tubular transport mechanisms has increased considerably. Due to new technical developments, it is now possible to understand in part transepithelial transport and its pathological and pharmacological alterations at the level of the cell membranes. Different membrane transport mechanisms are discussed in this article, whereby sodium coupled solute transport in the proximal tubule and sodium chloride transport in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop are taken as examples. It is indicated that an altered function of the kidney can often be equated with an alteration of the membrane transport.
