Sodium and water resorption by segments

[Ref: AV6: p75,p82-83]

Sodium reabsorption

  • Proximal tubules = 65%
  • Descending limb of loop of Henle = 0%
  • Ascending limb of loop of Henle = 25%
    * Thick AND thin 
  • Distal convoluted tubules = 5%
  • Collecting duct system = 4-5%

 

Water reabsorption

  • Proximal tubules = 65%
  • Descending limb of LOH = 10%
  • Ascending limb = 0%
    * Thick AND thin
  • Distal convoluted tubules = 0%
  • Collecting duct system = 5-25%

 

Thus,

Na+ vs H2O resorption
Na+ H2O
PCT 65% 65%
DLOH 0 10%
ALOH 25% 0
DCT 5% 0
CD 4-5% 5-25%
