This paper, “Standard nomenclature for structures of the kidney,” was prepared at the request of the Renal Commission of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS). The information is being published, by a joint editorial decision, simultaneously in the January, 1988 issues of THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY: RENAL, FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE PHYSIOLOGY, KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL, and PFLÜGERS ARCHIV.

The Editors have chosen, deliberately, to duplicate publication of this document in the above three journals, to insure the widest possible dissemination of this terminology, which has been adopted simultaneously by each of the three journals.
