kidney, which is a function of the distal tubule, lends some support to the belief that glomeruli and tubules are generally lost in parallel in renal disease (Michie and Michie, 1957). Even if the disease affects only glomeruli, then the excretory load of water and solutes is borne by the tubules of the remaining intact nephrons, and under these circumstances of osmotic diuresis their concentrating ability is impaired (Platt, 1952; Bricker et alii.. 1959).
