Renal lymphatic vessel dynamics.
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2020 Similar to other organs, renal lymphatics remove excess fluid, solutes, and macromolecules from the renal interstitium. Given the kidney's unique role in maintaining body fluid homeostasis, renal lymphatics may be critical in this process.
