The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
Do the size of kidneys decrease with time?
The size of kidneys don't usually decrease in size over time.
Clinical significance of protein in urine?
If there is protein in urine, there is something wrong with the filtration process in the kidneys. Normally, proteins molecules that are too large to enter the filtrate in the nephron of the kidney.

Does the bladder store the urine produced in the kidneys?
Yes, the urinary bladder stores urine produced in the kidneys.
Urine is produced in the?
Kidneys.
Where urine produced?
the kidneys.
Erthropoitein which stimulates red blood cell production is produced by the?
Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney, stimulates the production of red blood cells. Almost all of the erythropoietin within the circulation is derived from the kidneys. Hypoxia is one of the main stimuli that induces erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys. In severe kidney disease, a decrease in erythropoietin production results in severe anemia.
