proposal that hairpin loops of Henle multiply a small transverse solute gradient into a large corticomedullary gradient that lets the kidney concentrate urine.

In renal physiology, countercurrent multiplier hypothesis refers to proposal that hairpin loops of Henle multiply a small transverse solute gradient into a large corticomedullary gradient that lets the kidney concentrate urine. This meaning comes from Gottschalk (1959) in American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content.[1]
