Abstract

The development of in vitro perfusion of isolated segments of the nephron [1] has made the evaluation of tubular functions more precise than was previously possible. The measurement of fluid and solute transport rates is more accurate as the perfusion rate and the composition of the bath and perfusion solutions can be better controlled. These techniques have been used to measure the water permeabilities of different nephron segments [2–5].
