The image below contains all the info you need about the renal physiology as to what substances are absorbed/secreted allover the different segments of the renal tubules. Plus, you get to see the types of different diuretics working on each segment. Below the image there is all this in a text format.

Thanks. I had good use of your picture of renal physiology, showed this to our nurses while explaining different mechanisms.
Thanks again.

excellent short cut in renal physiology; used for my MRCS exams
