About This Module
Renal physiology is one of the most important, and most difficult, topics you will encounter in medical school. As such, we set out to create a module that could give students a solid grasp of key concepts about the histology and physiology of the glomerulus and about the physiology, histology, and pharmacology of the tubules. We hope this module fulfills that goal. As a student taking part in the renal curriculum, you should feel free to use this moduleas both pre-lecture reading and post-lecture reinforcement. Enjoy.
