Birth defects ... Primary defects of Kidney 3
Posted in 2013

When children are young (the first months and preschool years especially) with renal
dysplasia often the most prominent defect is the inability to concentrate the urine.  Let me
start by explaining some normal kidney function.  The normal kidney has about a million
filters, each of which filters the blood and a filtrate in which the waste products and other

(electrolyte, mineral and chemical) constituents of blood start down the tubule in a
concentration equal to that of blood.  The tubule has multiple segments, each with a specific
job, and as the filtrate travels down the tubule, water and the other constituents are

reabsorbed into blood as needed, so that the final urine is concentrated compared to the
initial filtrate of blood.  The tubule fine tunes how much sodium and potassium and
phosphorus and other substances are kept in the filtrate (urine) as opposed to reabsorbed
back into blood. To give you an idea of the work of the tubule, in an adult 180 liters of the

liquid part of blood is filtered in a day, yet thanks to the tubule, only 1-2 liters comes out as
urine.


My advise
