Peritubular Capillaries: The network of capillaries surrounding the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule. The function of the peritubular capillaries is to reabsorb some of the nutrients and plasma that were extracted in the Bowman's capsule.

The interstitial concentrations are largely a function of blood flow in the three regions. In the cortex, the lower concentrations are the result of the large blood flow in the peritubular capillaries. The capillary blood carries away excess solute and water in the region.

In the superficial cortex and mid-cortex, the peritubular capillaries form networks that surround all the cortical tubular structures. In the juxtamedullary region, the efferent arterioles branch after leaving the glomeruli. ... 1. General Features of Renal Function...

Acid/base function ... The kidney is unique as it has two capillary beds arranged in series, the glomerular capillaries which are under high pressure for filtering, and the peritubular capillaries which are situated around the tubule and are at low pressure (figure 1). This permits large volumes of fluid to be filtered...

These episodes are followed by a characteristic recovery and repair response, whereby tubular morphology and renal function appear completely restored within ~1 mo. However, the chronic effects ... Microfil analysis revealed an ~30-50% reduction in peritubular capillary density in the inner stripe of the outer medulla at 4,
