What formula is used to calculate clearance? _____

What equation may be used to calculate free-water clearance (CH2O)? _____

The fraction of filtered water absorbed may be measured using the equation: _____

Reabsorption of Na+ in the collecting duct creates a _____ luminal potential that facilitates K+ excretion

The _____ limb (loop of Henle) is impermeable to Na+

_____ -osmotic urine is produced when the circulating levels of ADH are low

The _____ ratio is used as a marker for water reabsorption along the nephron

_____ is a hormone that inhibits Na+-phosphate cotransport in the proximal tubule

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect characterized by a defect in the thick ascending limb (of Henle) (location) of the nephron

In the lumen of the early PCT, H2CO3 is converted into _____ and CO2 via the enzyme carbonic anhydrase IV
