Q

Net Filtration Pressure equation

Study These Flashcards
A

NFP = (HP in capillaries - OP in capillaries) - (HP capsule- OP capsule)

23
Q

physical pressure of fluid in capsule

24
Q

osmotic pressure in capsules

Study These Flashcards
A

0 bc no proteins

25
Net Filtration Pressure in bowman capsule
10 mmHg
26
systemic cardiac output flows through the kidneys each minute
1.2 L/min
27
Glomerular filtration rate and normal value
The total amount of fluid filtered through ALL the glomeruli in BOTH kidneys in a fit adult is about 120-125 mL/min
28
Renal plasma flow and normal value
blood flow through kidney 680mL/min
29
normal urine flow for adult
1mL/min
30
how much of filtrated fluid appears in urine
1%
31
where does water reabsorption happen
proximal tubule mostly (2/3) | rest in loop of H and distal tubule
32
how does reabsorption happen
sodium is pumped out by NaK pumpkin BASAL SIDE water follows glucose follows and goes to interstitial fluid d then to peritubular capillaries
33
which side of epithelial cells has the NAK pumps
basal
34
how to measure GFR
Clearence measured in units of volume/time (litres/minute). It is the effective volume of plasma completely ‘cleared’ of a substance per minute.
35
is mthg is not removed from plasma at all, whats the clearance
0
36
​ | whats the clearance if smthg is Removed at same rate as water passes through glomeruli:
GFR
37
​ | whats the clearance if smthg is Removed at same rate as water passes through glomeruli:
Completely removed from blood passing through kidney: Clearance = RPF​ ​
38
what happens to GFR if kidney is damaged
decreases
39
clearance measure equation
C= ( [Urine] / [Plasma] ) x [Volume of urine per minue]​
40
clinically measure GFR
1) measure the concentration of the substance in the plasma, 2) collect urine for a fixed period to get the urine flow (ml/min), and 3) measure the concentration of the substance in the urine
41
gold standard of measuring GFR
clearance of creatinine BUT overestimates by 10 20% bc some is secreted.
42
why is creatine gold stsndard
bc steady state in blood
43
how can you get an approximation of kidney function
from blood creatinine concentration
44
how can you measure renal plasma flow
clearence using paraaminohipuric acid bc its completely secreted
45
*Normal creatinine clearance: ​
women 88-128 mL/min: ​ | men 97 to 137 mL/min.
46
does GFR change with changes in BP
NO | its auto regulated
47
does Renal blood flow change with changes in BP
NP
48
kidney blood flow is controlled
by kidney itself (EPO)
49
Explain the auto regulation of the kidneys
The GFR is regulated by the balance of constriction in the smooth muscle of the afferent and efferent arterioles; this maintains GFR constant despite changes in systemic blood pressure The constrictor tone in the efferent arterioles is higher than in the afferents, producing a filtration pressure in the glomerulus. ​ ​ If the afferents constrict and the efferents relax, this lowers the the filtration pressure and thus GFR​ ​ if the afferents relax and the efferents contract, this raises filtration pressure and GFR ​
50
The balance between the constriction in afferent and efferent arteriolar smooth muscle is controlled by
the juxtaglomerular apparatus. This is a structure where the distal tubule folds back and contacts the glomerulus at the point where the afferent and efferent arterioles enter.
51
Cells in the macula densa functions
Detect the concentration of sodium in the distal tubular fluid. If sodium levels are low, this indicates that GFR is too low. The macula densa releases local chemical factors (adenosine & ATP) which relax the smooth muscle in the afferent arteriole, thus increasing the filtration pressure and increasing GFR. Conversely, if the GFR is too high, the macula densa releases chemical factors which constrict the the afferent arteriole, decrease filtration pressure and reduce GFR.​
52
hypothetical gold standard
inulin
53
normal RPF both kidneys
600-700 mL/min
