Abstract
The regulation of the extracellular and intracellular milieu in which all vital cell functions take place is a highly complex phenomenon involving intricate inter-reactions among various hemodynamic, humoral, metabolic and transport phenomena. The central role of the kidney in the maintenance of such homeostatic regulation has for years been widely appreciated. This is particularly reflected by the intense investigations which have been directed to the role of the kidney in the regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure and the mechanisms whereby the kidney, by virtue of its unique reabsorptive, excretory and metabolic activities, is capable of maintaining a remarkably constant internal environment. In the latter instance much attention has been given to the mechanism of sodium transport by the kidney since from an evolutionary standpoint the capacity fcr renal retention or elimination of sodium and water is considered to be a pivotal homeostatic function in the adaptation of terrestrial life to an environment in which exposure to sodium may be minimal or excessive.
