Q

What are the starling forces that promote fluid movement into peritubular capillaries?

A
  1. High plasma colloid osmotic pressure in peritubular capillary blood. blood is more concentrated
  2. Low hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries

Q

What is the basic mechanism of tubular reabsorption of glucose and amino acids?

A

Transcellular only: Secondary active transport
uptake across luminal membrane against gradient with Na
Exits basolateral membrane by facilitated diffusion

18
Q

Would the filtered load of glucose change if GFR increased but plasma glucose concentration remained constant?

A

It would increase

19
Q

What could change the threshold value of Tm?

A

Only by increasing the amount of transporters

20
Q

Urine output increases in diabetes. Why?

A

If there is more sugar in the tubular fluid bc more is being filtered. Tm is met, the water is going to be pulled from the cell into the tubular lumen. Glucose is creating a higher osmolarity and water will follow

21
Q

Why is a diabetic thirsty?

A

because water is being pulled from the cells into the tubular lumen to follow the high concentration of glucose

22
Q

What happens if an osmotically active agent is filtered?

A

It prevents water reabsorption, thus diluting the Na that is present in the tubule. Thus Na will move from the peritubular capillary to the tubular lumen

23
Q

Why does GFR increase if there is an increase of osmotically active agent like glucose in the blood?

A

Because of the higher osmolarity in the plasma, water will be lost from the cells into the plasma systemically and increasing the fluid that will go to the kidneys thus increasing GFR

24
Q

How does mannitol help with brain swelling?

A

decreases intracerebral pressure in head injuries. systemic administration of mannitol creates an osmotic gradient within vascular space. It pulls fluid from cells into the tubular spaces. Reduces swelling in brain.

25
Q

What are the consequences of osmotic diuretics?

A

increased water excretion and increased sodium excretion to maintain the osmolar gradient
also when Na reabsorption decreases it causes an increase of Na and HCO3 in urine and acidosis (Na/HCO3 transport in PCT)

26
Q

What is reabsorbed in increasing order in the PCT?

A

Urea, Cl, K, Ca, Na, PO, bicarbonate, amino acids, and glucose

27
Q

What molecules have an iso-osmotic absorption type in PCT?

A

Na and K

28
Q

What molecules are not reabsorbed at all in the PCT and have a TF/P of +3 or greater?

A

Inulin and PAH

and creatinine

29
Q

What is obligatory water reabsorption?

A

The amount of water reabsorption that must occur
85%
65% in PCT
and 20% in distal tubules

30
Q

What is facultative water reabsorption?

A

The water reabsorption that is optional
~15%
From the collecting tubule through the renal medulla under control of ADH

31
Q

What are the organic anions that are secreted in the PCT?

A

PAH, bile salts, uric acid, and creatinine

32
Q

How are organic anions secreted in the PCT? what else is secreted this way?

A

Through tertiary active transport
Brings sodium from the blood into the cells to bring in OA with it
Also drugs such as penicillin, salicylates, and some antiviral drugs

33
Q

When does the amount of PAH excreted become parallel to the amount filtered ?

A

When PAH secretion is saturated and Tm is met

Refer to graph (fig 6.17)

34
Q

As PAH and Glucose plasma concentration increases, what does the clearance become closer to?

A

The GFR

PAH clearance decreases and glucose clearance increase to GFR

35
Q

What organic cations are secreted in PCT and how?

A

Catecholamines, ACh, and dopamine etc. tertiary active transport. gradient established by Na/K

36
Q

Organic anions and cations are ionized forms of what?

A

weak acids and bases, respectively

37
Q

What form of organic anions and cations cannot readily diffuse through lipid bilayer?

A

charged forms bc highly polar compounds

38
Q

When are weak acids neutral?

A

When protonated

39
Q

When are weak bases neutral?

A

When deprotonated

40
Q

Acidic solutions generate neutral forms of ________

A

Weak acids

41
Q

The tubular handling of organic acids and bases is affected by what?

A

pH of luminal fluid

H in the tubular lumen favors reabsorption of organic acids, but traps organic bases in the lumen

42
Q

What is transcellular solute movement?

A

Substance travels through a cell

Passes through apical membrane and basolateral membrane

43
Q

How would you excrete the overdose of aspirin of a patient?

A

Luminal acidification (H) favors reabsorption of organic acids and excretion of bases. If there is an increase of organic acids due to aspirin, then to get rid of the protons you must inject bicarbonate to alkalized the urine to help excrete the over dose of aspirin
