Physiological principles underlying the kidney targeting of renal nanomedicines

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 26 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41581-024-00819-zRenal nanomedicines may hold promise for the detection and treatment of a variety of kidney diseases. This Review describes how our understanding of the physiological principles that regulate the glomerular filtration, tubular secretion, luminal tubular uptake and re-elimination of nanoparticles in the kidneys may facilitate the selective targeting of nanomedicines to specific segments of the nephron.
