Normal Physiology of Renal System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Brain and Kidney Crosstalk

Abstract

Renal system is a vital organ system for survival. This chapter focuses initially on its functional anatomy followed by the detailed review of important function of kidney, namely filtration, transport across tubules, urine concentration, regulation of acid base balance, control of blood volume and composition and secretion of hormones. In the end, we discuss the basics of physiology of micturition and disorders associated with it.
