Unreferenced date December 2009 In physiology , the renal threshold is the concentration of a substance dissolved in the blood above which the kidney s begin to remove it into the urine . When the renal threshold of a substance is exceeded, reabsorption of the substance by the proximal renal tubuli is incomplete consequently, part of the substance remains in the urine. Renal thresholds vary by substance the low potency poison urea , for instance, is removed at much lower concentrations than glucose . Indeed, the most common reason for the glucose renal threshold ever being exceeded is diabetes . Renal thresholds vary by species and by physiological condition thus an animal may have different renal thresholds while hibernation hibernating , Renal thresholds can also be altered by many drugs, and may change in characteristic ways during certain illnesses. Taken together, the collection of a kidney s renal thresholds essentially define much of its function in renal physiology .

Role in disease Some chemicals toxic to the kidney, called nephrotoxin s, exert their damage at the renal papillae.
