The elimination of sodium ions from peritubular capillaries (or surrounding hemolymph in invertebrates) into the renal tubules to be incorporated subsequently into the urine. [GOC:mtg_25march11, GOC:yaf, PMID:25287933]
Renal sodium excretion is a complex process regulated by a variety of factors, including the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, atrial natriuretic peptide, and sympathetic nervous system. The process begins with the filtration of sodium from the blood into the glomerulus. Sodium is then reabsorbed along the nephron, primarily in the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule. Reabsorption is driven by the electrochemical gradient and regulated by various transport proteins. The proximal tubule reabsorbs approximately 65% of filtered sodium, the loop of Henle reabsorbs another 25%, and the distal tubule and collecting duct account for the remaining 10%. The final amount of sodium excreted in the urine is determined by the balance between sodium reabsorption and sodium secretion. Sodium secretion is largely regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. When blood pressure falls, the kidneys release renin, which activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This system leads to the production of aldosterone, a hormone that stimulates sodium reabsorption in the distal tubule and collecting duct, thereby increasing blood pressure. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), a hormone secreted by the heart, has the opposite effect on sodium reabsorption. ANP inhibits sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct, leading to increased sodium excretion and decreased blood pressure. The sympathetic nervous system also plays a role in regulating sodium excretion. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system stimulates sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule and loop of Henle, thereby increasing blood pressure. In summary, renal sodium excretion is a tightly regulated process that is influenced by a variety of factors, including the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, atrial natriuretic peptide, and sympathetic nervous system. These factors work together to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and blood pressure.'
