Study Notes
Kidney Function
- The kidney is the major site for drug excretion.
Nephron Function
- Active secretion of weak electrolyte drugs occurs in the proximal tubule of the nephron.
Water Reabsorption
- Additional reabsorption of water occurs in the collecting duct of the kidney.
Glomerular Filtration Rate
- The normal range for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in healthy individuals is 90-120 mL/min.
