The extreme hypertonicity of the renal medulla plays a central role in regulating volume status. A recent publication in Cell has identified a novel role for the high sodium environment and the local epithelial cells in the recruitment of mononuclear phagocytes, potentially contributing to the defense against ascending urinary tract infection.
