Tubular Diseases Insights into Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Strategies

Abstract

Stuart Keller*

The renal tubules play a crucial role in the intricate functioning of the kidneys, facilitating the reabsorption of essential substances and the excretion of waste products. Tubular diseases, characterized by the dysfunction of these vital structures, can have profound implications for overall kidney health. This article delves into the pathogenesis of tubular diseases, exploring the underlying mechanisms and highlighting emerging therapeutic strategies that hold promise in managing these conditions. Before delving into the complexities of tubular diseases, it is essential to understand the anatomy and physiology of renal tubules. The nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, consists of the renal corpuscle and renal tubule.
