Chloride Reabsorption in the Ascending Limb of the Loop of Henle
- Molecular classification
- Physiological process, Renal Physiology, Electrolyte transport, Osmoregulation
01
Overview
Chloride reabsorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle is a crucial renal process responsible for maintaining electrolyte and water balance, generating dilute urine, and contributing to the medullary osmotic gradient. It occurs via passive transport in the thin ascending limb and active transport, primarily through the NKCC2 cotransporter, in the thick ascending limb. This process is essential for regulating extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. Dysfunction leads to disorders like Bartter syndrome.

Mechanism of action
Loop diuretics inhibit the NKCC2 cotransporter in the thick ascending limb, reducing sodium and chloride reabsorption.
