Long overlooked as the virtual compartment and then strictly characterized through
descriptive morphologic analysis, the renal interstitium has finally been associated with
function. With identification of interstitial renin-and erythropoietin-producing cells, the most
prominent endocrine functions of the kidney have now been attributed to the renal
interstitium. This article reviews the functional role of renal interstitium.
