Learning with Dr. Umema Zafar

Renal Physiology From Scratch

A clear, step-by-step route from body fluids to acid–base balance—designed to help health-sciences students connect mechanisms with clinical reasoning.

Official previews, current pricing and enrollment are provided securely on Udemy.

01 / The approach

Understand the system. Then solve the problem.

Renal physiology becomes easier when fluid balance, filtration, tubular function, electrolytes and acid–base control are learned as parts of one system. The course develops those connections with practical examples and clinical scenarios.

The course map

Six connected foundations

Move from core concepts to high-yield mechanisms and clinical application at a measured pace.

  1. 01

    Body fluids

    Compartments, osmosis, tonicity, fluid shifts, edema and dehydration.

  2. 02

    Renal anatomy & GFR

    Urine formation, micturition, renal circulation and filtration.

  3. 03

    Tubular transport

    Reabsorption, secretion, clearance and hormonal control.

  4. 04

    Urine concentration

    ADH, dilution, countercurrent mechanisms and osmolarity.

  5. 05

    Electrolyte balance

    Potassium, calcium, phosphate, magnesium and sodium regulation.

  6. 06

    Acid–base balance

    Buffers, compensation, ABG interpretation and clinical vignettes.
