Calcium transport in the nephron.

W N Suki

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    The nephron reabsorbs over 95% of filtered calcium, with active and passive transport mechanisms varying along its segments. The distal tubule and collecting tubule show potential as final regulators of calcium excretion.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Renal Physiology
    • Calcium Homeostasis

    Background:

    • Calcium is filtered at the glomerulus and extensively reabsorbed throughout the nephron.
    • Understanding the specific transport mechanisms and regulatory roles of different nephron segments is crucial for calcium balance.
