Abstract: Presents a study which determined the intrinsic capacities of inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD) in absorbing the secreting solutes and fluid in an isotonic medium using an in vitro method in rat kidneys. Discussion on renal sodium chloride excretion; Methodology; Effects of serum proteins on fluid secretion; Studies to evaluate cellular mechanisms of solute and fluid secretion in IMCD.
