TUBULAR REABSORPTION All plasma constituents are filtered in the
glomeruli except plasma protein.
After filtration, essential material and electrolytes needed are reabsorbed but waste products are eliminated.
Tubular reabsorption is highly selective process.

TUBULAR REABSORPTION
5
TUBULAR REABSORPTION GFR is 125ml/min, out of this 124ml/min
is reabsorbed. 1ml/min is excreted.
IMPORTANT 99% of water is reabsorbed. 99.5% Na+ is reabsorbed. 100% glucose is reabsorbed.
6
TUBULAR REABSORPTION In tubule, there is passive and active
reabsorption of different substances.
What is Passive Reabsorption? Passive Reabsorption occurs from tubular
lumen to the plasma (trans epithelial transport), when no energy is spent.
Movement occurs due to electro-chemical or osmotic gradient.
7
TUBULAR REABSORPTIONWhat is Active Reabsorption? Active Reabsorption is, when energy is
required for trans epithelial transport i.e. when there is movement of substance from tubular lumen to plasma against electro chemical gradient.
E.g. Na+ , Glucose, Amino acid, Phosphate (PO4
-3)
8
Steps of Transepithilial transport
9
TUBULAR REABSORPTIONWhat is Trans epithelial transport of substance? It involves following 5 steps:
1). Substance must leave tubular fluid by crossing luminal membrane of tubular cell.
2). Substance must pass through one side of tubular cell to the other.
3). Substance must cross basolateral membrane of tubular cell to enter interstitial fluid.
4). Substance must diffuse through the interstial fluid. 5). It must penetrate the capillary wall to enter blood
plasma.
10
TUBULAR REABSORPTIONWe will discuss Na+ reabsorption.
Na+ reabsorption is active process i.e. requires Na+ - K+ ATPase pump in the basolateral membrane.
11
Sodium Reabsorption
12
Na+ REABSORPTION Na+ is filtered and 99.5% of Na+ is
reabsorbed in the tubule. Na+ reabsorption in different areas of
tubule. - Proximal convoluted tubule-- 65-67% - Loop of Henle (thick ascending limb) –
25% - Distal and Collecting Tubule – 8%
13
OVERALL HANDLING
OF NA+
14
Na+ REABSORPTION Na+ Reabsorption in proximal convoluted
tubule helps in reabsorption of glucose, amino acid, H2O, Cl-, urea
Na+ Reabsorption in Loop of Henle occurs with Cl- reabsorption.
Na+ Reabsorption in DCT and CT is under control of hormone Aldosterone.
15
Na+ REABSORPTION IMPORTANT Na+ is reabsorbed throughout the tubule
except descending limb of Loop of Henle, because it is impermeable to Na+
16
Na+ REABSORPTION Na+ reabsorption in DCT and CT is
under control of hormone Aldosterone. With Na+, Cl- is passively absorbed
down its concentration gradient.
We will study Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in regulation of sodium.
17
Dual Control of
Aldosterone Secretion By K+ and Na+
18
Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone
System (RAAS)
19
Na+ REABSORPTION IN DCT & CT There are 2 types of cells located in DCT and CT i. Principal Cells ii. Intercalated Cells
Where Aldosterone acts in DCT and CT?Aldosterone acts on Principal Cells They are in large number and Aldosterone acts on
them and causes Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion.
Main site of action of Aldosterone is DCT and CT.
20
Na+ REABSORPTIONii. Intercalated Cells They are concerned with acid base
balance and we will discuss later.
IMPORTANT In DCT and CT, 8% of filtered Na+
depends on Aldosterone for reabsorption. If no aldosterone, 20g of NaCl maybe lost
per day.
21
APPLIEDRole of Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System
(RAAS) in various diseases
RAAS activity if abnormally increased can cause hypertension.
RAAS is also responsible for fluid retention and EDEMA occurring in congestive heart failure.
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor – ACE inhibitor drugs are used for hypertension and congestive heart failure.
22
APPLIED Drugs that affect Na+ reabsorption 1. Diuretics - They cause diuresis (increased urinary output)
by inhibiting tubular reabsorption of Na+. - As Na+ is lost, more water is lost, therefore, they
help to remove excess extra cellular fluid.
23
ATERIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (ANP) Hormone ANP causes Na+ loss, therefore,
decreases BP.
Natriuretic means inducing Na+ loss in urine.
Site of production of ANP – Atria of heart Site of action of ANP – distal part of nephron
(DCT and CT), causes decreased Na+ reabsorption, therefore, increased Na+ and water loss in urine.
24
ATERIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (ANP) (cont) Other action of ANP are - inhibits aldosterone secretion from adrenal cortex - inhibits renin secretion, therefore, has negative
effect on RAAS - inhibits vasopressin secretion and its action,
therefore causes decreased water reabsorption - dilates afferent arteriole and constricts efferent
arteriole, therefore, increases GFR - relaxes glomerular mesangial cells, therefore,
increased Kf – increase GFR

26
WATER REABSORPTION & EXCRETION Normal GFR 125ml/min or 180 liters/day 99 – 99.7% water is reabsorbed Average urine volume – 1 liter/day Minimum urine needed per day to get rid
of waste products – 500ml/day
27
WATER REABSORPTION Water is reabsorbed through water
channels, made up of proteins called Aquaporins.
Water reabsorption in the tubule Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) – 60-70% It is passive, due to osmotic gradient due to
active reabsorption of solutes e.g. Na+
28
WATER REABSORPTION Loop of Henle – 15% of water is reabsorbed
IMPORTANT Descending limb of Loop of Henle [LH] is
permeable to water but ascending limb of Loop of Henle is impermeable to water
Because of this fluid in the descending limb of LH becomes hypertonic and fluid in ascending limb of LH becomes hypotonic

s of tubule
30
WATER REABSORPTION Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) and Collecting
Tubule (CT) – 20% of filtered water is reabsorbed. DCT – 5% water reabsorbed CT – 15% water reabsorbed
IMPORTANT In DCT and CT, water is reabsorbed under the
action of ADH (AntiDiuretic Hormone) or Vasopressin
ADH main site of action is CT
31
WATER REABSORPTIONADH acts on DCT and CT There are Aquaporin – 2 (protein water
channels) in DCT and CT, principal cells Aquaporin – intracellular protein are
stored in vesicles in the cytoplasm of principal cells
Vasopressin causes rapid insertion of these vesicles in luminal membrane of principal cells
32
WATER REABSORPTION This action of vasopressin (ADH) is
mediated by binding of ADH to V2 receptors
V2 receptors are G-protein which activate cAMP – second messenger system
As ADH causes water reabsorption in collecting tubules, fluid becomes hypertonic and urine passed is concentrated.
33
Mechanism of action of Vasopressin
34
ADH OR VASOPRESSIN ADH is hormone synthesized in
hypothalamus, supraoptic nuclei mainly, but also in para- ventricular nuclei
They have axonal connection to posterior pituitary
ADH once synthesized in hypothalamus is transported via axon to posterior pituitary and stored there in posterior pituitary.
35
WATER REABSORPTIONQ. If ADH is absent, what will happen? If no ADH, collecting tubule epithelium is
relatively impermeable to water in absence of ADH, therefore, large amount of dilute urine will be excreted.
Urine flow may increase to 15ml/min or 22liters/day.
36
APPLIEDDIABETES INSIPIDUSDiabetes Insipidus [DI] is of 2 types:1. Central DI - occurs due to deficiency of
ADH2. Nephrogenic DI – occurs when V2
receptors in collecting tubule fail to respond to ADH
In both cases, person will pass dilute
urine up to 22 liters/day

IMPORTANT POINTS1. Water reabsorption is by osmosis and is
dependent upon Na+ reabsorption, but water absorption depends on ADH in DCT and CT
2. Na+ is absorbed actively by all tubular segments except descending limb of Loop of Henle, which is impermeable to Na+.
3. Descending limb of LH is permeable to water, but ascending limb of LH is impermeable to water
