      abstract = {This volume discusses renal function and the mechanisms by  which the kidney regulates the composition and volume of  the extracellular fluid. It also highlights the role of the  kidney in the development and progression of arterial  hypertension. Most textbooks of renal physiology are based  in mammalians physiology and mostly human physiology of the  kidney, but the authors considered that this book should  also include other species to include the broad spectrum of  students and researchers in the life and biomedical  sciences. In this sense, we included chapters such as  comparative osmoregulation in non-mammalian vertebrates and  we emphasize that in vertebrates like fish, reptiles,  amphibians and birds, the kidneys and extrarenal organs are  vital to maintain fluid homeostasis. The purpose of the  book is to provide a concise frame of knowledge in a clear  and direct language, of the renal function to medical and  biological sciences students. In the context of normal  renal function, we provide pathophysiological basis for  chronic renal diseases and hypertension with the  participation of renal vasoactive hormones. This book is  used as textbook in several physiology courses for medical,  nursing and biological sciences students at the Pontifical  Catholic University of Chile, Finis Terrae University,  Universidad San Sebastian as well as other universities.  This book is a translation of an original Spanish edition.  The translation was done with the help of artificial  intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily  in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
