    Study Notes

    Renal Physiology Basics

    • The kidneys filter approximately 200 liters of fluid from the bloodstream daily.
    • Only a small percentage of the filtered fluid (less than 1%) leaves the body as urine, which is around 1.5 liters.
    • The remaining filtered fluid returns to the circulation, allowing the body to retain essential substances.
    • The primary function of the kidneys is to remove toxins, metabolic wastes, and excess ions from the body through urine while reabsorbing necessary substances into the blood.
