Tubular secretion aims to maintain urine pH by secreting ammonium and H+ ions, primarily in the Loop of Henle and slightly in the convoluted tubules, by tubular epithelial cells.
La secreción tubular tiene el propósito de mantener el pH de la orina, secretando amonio e iones H+ principalmente en el asa de Henle y ligeramente en los túbulos contorneados por las células epiteliales tubulares.
