Loops- NaCll resoption, thick ascending rtion impermeable to water

Distal tubule- K secretion and H secetion in exchange for Na, thiazides

CD- water permeability regulated by hormones
Acid base in proximal tubule
carbonic anhydrase converts water and CO2 to H and bicarbm 9.9% of filtered bicarb recovered, H is secreted and combines with tubular bicarb which is then transported back into peritubular space fom lumen
GFR can be calculated by..
