0

Transport maximum (Tm) – limited reabsorption of a substance implies that its.


  1. Reabsorption is active.
  2. Reabsorption is critically related to tubular transit time.
  3. Reabsorption is complete below a certain threshold load.
  4. Renal clearance falls with its plasma concentration.
  5. Excretion rate is zero until its Tm value is reached.
