[The physiology of the kidney and water-salt metabolism: the basic research trends in Russia]. 1995

L N Ivanova

The major tendency for the investigations of kidney function and water-salt metabolism running in different Russian laboratories is reviewed. The proceedings of some national publications on the regulation of water and ion transport at the cell and molecular level demonstrate the progress in this field of renal physiology in Russia. Trends in the researchers of the renal function and its neuroendocrine regulation on experimental animals and also on people with renal dysfunction are described. In the last part of the review there is a brief account of the papers on the development of the kidney function and water-salt metabolism during onto- and phylogeny.
