Kidney Function Test parameters

Blood urea, creatinine, and uric acid are measured to assess kidney function.

Body fluid compartments

Body fluid is divided into intracellular and extracellular compartments.

Aquaporins' role

Aquaporins facilitate water movement across cell membranes.

Osmotic equilibrium

Maintaining equal osmolality inside and outside cells, is crucial for proper bodily function.
