Decrease in slope

27
Q

Worsening condition after ACEi =

A

Highly suggestive of Bilteral RAS

28
Q

How does Pseudohypoaldosteronism cause Hypokalemia

A

Incr Na reabsorption in CD creates favorable gradient for K secretion

30
Q

Ouabain is activated by

31
Q

What channel is upregulated in Aldosterone excess that contributes to HTN

A

ENaC channel reabsorbs Na in CD

32
Q

Role of Genetics in HTN

A

70-80% of individuals have positive family history

32
Q

Channel upregulated in Cushing’s that contributes to BP increase

A

ENaC channel reabsorbs Na in CD

33
Q

Goldblatt Model 1

A

Unilateral RAS w/ 2 normal kidneys - Incr SVR and Right shift in pressure natriuresis - Normal volume

35
Q

Inc Pre-Load can be due to

A

Incr Venous Tone or Incr Volume (and therefore total Na)

36
Q

What inhibits 11B-HSD-2

A

Chronic licorice ingestion (candies, chewing tobacco)

37
Q

ACEi’s in Goldblatt Model 1

A

Reduce BP b/c stenotic kidney is secreting renin

38
Q

As CKD progresses, revalance of HTN ___

38
Q

ACEi’s in Goldblatt Model 2

A

Will not help - In fact, they’ll reduce GFR - RAAS necessary to maintain GFR in this scenario

40
Q

Renin levels in Essential HTN

A

20% high, 30% low, 50% normal

42
Q

Is peripheral edema common in essential HTN

72
Q

Does Adenosine vasoconstrict or dilate

A

Vasoconstrict

73
Q

Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess is due to

A

Inactivating mutations in 11B-HSD-2 gene

74
Q

Prevalence of RAS is higher with

A

age, DM, PVD, DBP >125

75
Q

Gordon’s Syndrome mimics

A

Gitelman’s

76
Q

How does PseudoHypoAldosteronism cause Metabolic Alkalosis

A

Hypokalemia causes shift of H+ into tubular cells and then secretion into lumen; Also incr H+ secretion by H pump

77
Q

What is Pressure Natriuresis

A

When perfusion press incr., renal Na output incr and ECFV and BV contract to return MAP to baseline
