Urology

RFT are commonly performed investigations to rule out underlying disorders, routinely, and have great value for diagnosis, treatment, and early detection of the disease.  

From a talk I gave on male reproductive system problems. Includes benign and malignant prostate disease, bits on erectile dysfunction and other bits and pieces. Hope it helps !  

this tutorial gives a summary of Nephrotic Syndrome  

Great Schematic for the Renal Physio includes hormones action and their sites, the various electrolyte transporters and some associated deficiencies.  

This tutorial explores the function of the nephron, in particular: Filtration, Reabsorption, Secretion and Excretion. It explains explains the solutes involved and how they are processed by the nephron. It is recommended that you view the Renal Anatomy series before watching this tutorial.

http://www.handwrittentutorials.com - This tutorial discusses the Forces of Filtration which occur in the Glomeruli of the kidneys. In particular, Starling's forces are discussed, namely Hydrostatic Pressure and Oncotic Pressure.

Professor Saltzman continues his description of nephron anatomy, and the specific role of each part of the nephron in establishing concentration gradients to help in secretion and reabsorption of water, ions, nutrients and wastes. A number of molecular transport processes that produces urine from the initial ultra-filtrate, such as passive diffusion by concentration difference, osmosis, and active transport with sodium-potassium ATPase, are listed. Next, Professor Saltzman describes a method to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using tracer molecule, inulin. He then talks about regulation of sodium, an important ion for cell signaling in the body, as an example to demonstrate the different ways in which nephrons maintain homeostasis.  

Professor Saltzman introduces the basic concepts of renal physiology. Professor Saltzman first introduces the function and anatomy of the kidney. Special attention is given to the cell types and structural aspect of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. Filtration, secretion of toxic waste, and reabsorption of water, ions, and nutrients through the glomerulus and various segments of the nephrons is discussed in detail. Finally, Professor Saltzman describes glomerular filtration rate as a function of pressure drop, which is regulated by afferent and efferent arterioles, to control how much volume being filtered through glomerulus.
