1963 University of Michigan Ion transport in single
renal tubules. Our laboratory studies mechanisms
involved in ion transport by renal tubules. We are concerned particularly with
specific processes for absorbing sodium, chloride and calcium and for secreting
potassium. Techniques in these studies include in vitro and in vivo perfusion
of single tubules and in vitro culture of cells isolated from defined nephron
segments. Recent publications: Velazquez,

mechanism of trimethoprim-induced hyperkalemia. Ann. Int. Med. 119:296-301,
