Some examples of kidney functions which have circadian rhythms.
Glomeruli | Circulation and Interstitial | Tubular |
---|---|---|
Glomerular filtration rate | Renal plasma flow | Water and electrolyte (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate) excretion and corticomedullary interstitial osmolarity gradient |
Kidney oxygenation and erythropoietin production | H+ excretion |
