Peritubular reabsorption
As the tubules resorb solutes, including Na+, glucose and amino
acids, they accumulate in the peritubular interstitial space. From this interstitial space the solutes have to re-enter the peritubular capillaries for return to the
circulation.
steps in Na reabsorption from urine to the blood
3
Step 1 in Na+ reabsorption from the urine to blood
Na+ crosses the lipid bilayer at the brush border by cotransport or antiport
Step 2 in Na+ reabsorption from the urine to blood
Na+ exits the cell at the basolateral border via the Na+,K+ ATPase
Step 3 in Na+ reabsorption from the urine to blood
Once Na (and water) is in the interstitial space it can be absorbed from interstitium into blood with fluid following the balance of Starling forces or can back-leak (4)
