Acute Kidney Injury Caused by Obstructive Nephropathy

Figure 4

Henle loop changes during ON and AKI and after obstruction. (a) Henle loop during obstruction. (b) Henle loop after obstruction. Essentially, reabsorption, tonicity, and Na-K-ATPase pumps are down during obstruction. After correcting the obstruction, the excretion of Ca and Mg is increased. Ca, calcium; NaCl, sodium chloride; H₂O, water; Mg, magnesium; Na⁺, sodium.
