What is transport maximum and clearance value mean?
Transport maximum (Tm) refers to the maximum rate at which a substance can be reabsorbed or secreted by renal tubules, reflecting the saturation point of carrier proteins involved in this process.

Clearance value, on the other hand, measures the efficiency of the kidneys in removing a substance from the blood, expressed as the volume of plasma cleared of that substance per unit time. Together, these concepts help assess kidney function and the handling of various solutes in the body.
