In well-working kidneys, this process results in relatively stable blood concentrations of salts, sugar, proteins, electrolytes, and other substances. This process of maintaining consistency is defined as
The cоncentrаtiоn оf ions in the different fluid compаrtments of the body vаries greatly from ion to ion.

This deliberate maintenance and denial of the equilibrium that naturally should occur is achieved due to:
