Abstract There are several lines of indirect evidence suggesting that the renal tubule cells have not yet reached terminal differentiation at birth. Methods used in cell biology can now be applied to study renal ontogeny. This review describes how primary cultures of proximal tubule cells from rats can be used to investigate developmental changes in Na permeability and Na-K-ATPase-mediated transport.
