Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• Both in vivo studies in animal models and humans and in vitro studies with animal and human kidney tissue are being completed in order to determine pathologically relevant situations in which renal tubular transport is altered.
• In addition, renal tubular transport is diminished by probenecid and by salicylates.
• Renal tubular transport is also diminished by probenecid; use of methotrexate with this drug should be carefully monitored.
• Renal tubular transport is defective and causes gross aminoaciduria.
• 58 Because renal tubular transport is decreased in the young, acute renal toxicity may be less in younger than in older individuals.
