* Transport of sodium, potassium and chloride from the tubule to the interstitium in the thick ascending limb is done using a Sodium/Potassium/2-Chloride [[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Co-Transporters|co-transporter]].
* Transport of sodium, potassium and chloride from the tubule to the interstitium in the thick ascending limb is done using a Sodium/Potassium/2-Chloride [[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Co-Transporters|co-transporter]].
* 20% of the filtered sodium is reabsorbed thanks to the countercurrent multiplier from the thick ascending limb.
* Potassium leaks back into the tubule through special channels
* Potassium leaks back into the tubule through special channels
* Cations (e.g. sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium) can passively move paracellulary into the [[Vasa Recta - Anatomy & Physiology | vasa recta]]
