Secretion of variable amount of H+ & K+.
Major control site for Na+, K+, Ca2+ & acid-base
balance of body.
• Many of these functions are controlled by
hormones.
1. Represent early 2/3 of distal tubules.
2. Reabsorbs 4% of filtered load of Na+.
3. NaCl is transported by a Na+ - Cl- transporter located
at apical border.
4. This transporter is inhibited by thiazide diuretics.
5. The basolateral Na+- K+ ATPase together with that of
thick ALH has highest activity of any nephron
segment.
6. The osmolarity of tubular fluid leaving DCT is 100
mOsm/L (i.e. more hypotonic) so, the diluting
segments of the nephron are: thick ALH and early
DCT.
• It is the late 1/3 of distal tubules.
• As the collecting duct, its cell types are principal
and intercalated cells.
• Has variable water permeability according to
ADH level.
• Its TEPD is negative (about -45 mV).
• Important site for final adjustment of urine volume,
reaction (pH) and composition.
• Include: cortical (CCD), outer medullary (MCD) & inner
medullary (papillary) (PCD).

General characters
1. About 2/3 (67%) of the filtered Na+ with the same
percentage of water i.e. iso-osmotic reabsorp.
2. TFNa / PNa ratio at the end of PT is one as it is isoosmotic
3. In early PT, Na+, water, glucose, HCO3, amino
acids and organic anions as lactate, pyruvate, and
phosphate …. all are absorbed 2ry to Na+.
4. In the late PT: Na+ is absorbed with chloride
mainly.

diffusion
• This process is saturable and rate limited, due to
saturation of the carrier, and it has a Tm.
• The excess filtered glucose is excreted in urine as
in DM.
• Also; phlorizin competes with glucose for this
transporter, thereby inhibiting glucose
reabsorption
• Galactose can compete with glucose at the luminal
border, so increase plasma glucose as in
pregnancy glucose appears in urine
• Amino acids e.g. glutamate and glycine are
absorbed Na-dependent 2ry active transport
• The transport is limited due to saturation of the
carrier
• Proteins are reabsorbed after digestion by brush
border enzymes into amino acids or they may be
absorbed by endocytosis
• This process is easily saturated, so large
leakage of proteins in glomeruli → proteinuria
• They are absorbed by Na-dependent 2ry active
transport.
• There are 2 transport systems;
1. One for monocarboxylates as lactate, pyruvate.
2. Other for di-carboxylates as malate, succinate and
for tri-carboxylates as citrate.
• As PAH, oxalate, urate, creatinine and drugs as
penicillin and aspirin.
• Secretion occurs by a Tm-limited process using
transporters with low specificity (i.e. some
anions and cations compete with each others for
same transport system).

Tertiary
• About 25% of the filtered load of Na+
• Is actively reabsorbed by a common transporter
for Na+ - k+ - 2Cl-.
• This transporter is inhibited by the loop diuretics
as frusemide and edecrine.
• This process plays a key role in counter current
multiplier system, responsible for medullary
gradient.

CT and CDs reabsorb
about 8% of the filtered
load of Na+.

•
4% of filtered Na+
By common carrier with Cl-.
Is inhibited by thiazide diuretics.
Is impermeable to water, and the fluid leaving it is
more hypotonic
• So, thick ALH and early distal tubules are called
the diluting segments of the nephron.
• Types of cells;
1. Principle cell:
a. Reabsorbs Na+ via special channels.
• Is influenced by aldosterone (2% filtered Na )
b. Reabsorbs water (under control of ADH).
c. Secrete K+:
• K+ secretion is influenced by aldosterone hormone .
• Na+ is actively reabsorbed by the principal cell of the CT and
cortical CD mainly and to less extent by the outer MCD
• Na+ diffuses passively from tubular fluid into the cell via apical
epithelial Na+ channel (blocked by amiloride diuretics)
• It is actively pumped through the basolateral side, to the
interstitium by Na+ - K+ ATPase.
• K+ enters the cell by the basolateral Na+ - K+ ATPase
• High intracellular K+ → exits the cell via a basolateral K+
channel to the interstitium (recycling) or secreted via apical
K+ channels to tubular fluid.
• K+ secretion by these segments is the primary
determination of K+ secretion and excretion in urine;
therefore regulating K+ balance
• The absorption of Na+ across the apical border makes
the TEPD –ve up to -45 mv
• This help secretion of either K+ or H+ or reabsorption
of Cl- to paracellular space.
• Types of cells;
2. Intercalated cell :
a. Secretion of H+ by either;
• H+ ATPase
• K+- H+ ATPase

Shift between
ICF and ECF
Shift of K
between ICF
and ECF
• K+ is primary an intracellular cation
• 80% of the ingested K+ is moved temporary ICF to
prevent rapid elevation of ECF K+ concentration
which is dangerous
1. Na+ - K+ ATPase activity.
2. H+ ion concentration
3. Body fluid osmolarity.
4. Vitality of the cell membrane
a) Activators: insulin, β agonist, aldosterone, high K
• These factors increase K shift into ICF → hypokalaemia
b) Inhibitors: digitalis
• These factors decrease
K shift into ICF
→ hyperkalemia
1. Increase H+ exchange with intra cellular K+ K+
efflux hyperkalemia
2. Decrease H+ opposite effect hypokalemia
Decrease ECF osmolarity shift of water ICF
together with K+ hypokalemia.
Increase ECF osmolarity shift of water ECF
together with K+ hyperkalemia.
Exercise and cell lysis K+ efflux hyperkalemia
1. At the PT: about 80% of the filtered K+
2. At thick ALH: 10% of K+
3. Connecting tubule and cortical collecting ducts
where the actual K+ balance occurs:
• K+ is secreted by the principle cells in amount
ranging from 2% to 180% of the filtered K+.
• K+ secretion occurs 2ry to Na+ reabsorption→ help
increase of the electrochemical gradient for K+
secretion
• High gradient for K secretion is;
1. high K+ concentration inside the cell
2. –ve lumen (TEPD is – 45mvolt).
1. Plasma K+
• Increase K+ concentration increase K+
secretion via:
a. Activation of Na+ - K+ ATPase increase
intracellular K+
b. Stimulation of aldosterone hormones.
2. Tubular flow rate:
• Increase tubular flow rate increase K+
secretion via:
a. Delivery of Na+ to the principle cell.
b. Dilution of the secreted K+
3) Acid - base status:
• Acidosis decrease K+ secretion.
• Alkalosis increase K+ secretion.
4) Aldosterone :
• Aldosterone induced proteins (AIP)
• So, the delay of action of aldosterone for 1-2 hours
could be explained by the period necessary for the
synthesis of AIP
• The effectiveness of the kidney to control Na+
excretion is bitter than that for K+.
• For example, in complete Na+ deprivation, only
0.01% of the filtered Na+ is excreted in urine while in
complete deprivation of K+, 2% of the filtered K+ is
secreted and excreted in urine and so, hypokalemia
can develop.
