Unreferenced date December 2009 In physiology , the renal threshold is the concentration of a substance dissolved in the blood above which the kidney s begin to remove it into the urine . When the renal threshold of a substance is exceeded, reabsorption of the substance by the proximal renal tubuli is incomplete consequently, part of the substance remains in the blood. Renal thresholds vary by substance the low potency poison urea , for instance, is removed at much lower concentrations than glucose . Indeed, the most common reason for the glucose renal threshold ever being exceeded is diabetes . Renal thresholds vary by species and by physiological condition thus an animal may have different renal thresholds while hibernation hibernating , Renal thresholds can also be altered by many drugs, and may change in characteristic ways during certain illnesses. Taken together, the collection of a kidney s renal thresholds essentially define much of its function in renal physiology . Many tests of kidney function amount to measures of renal thresholds for various substances. DEFAULTSORT Renal Threshold Category Nephrology ... more details

This absence of kidneys causes oligohydramnios , a deficiency of amniotic fluid in a pregnant woman, which can place extra pressure on the developing baby and cause further malformations. The condition is frequently, but not always the result of a genetic disorder , and is more common in infants born to one or more parents with a malformed or absent kidney. Males are more commonly affected and most infants that are born alive do not live beyond four hours. Unilateral renal agenesis This is much more common, but is not usually of any major health consequence, as long as the other kidney is healthy. It is associated with an increased incidence of mullerian duct abnormalities which are abnormalities of the development of the female reproductive tract and can be a cause of infertility.
