2 Renal Physiology refresher and Mendelian forms of HTN Flashcards
Effects of adding fluids
Hypotonic NaCl - Increases intracellular fluid more than extracellular
Isotonic NaCl- Increases extracellular fluid only
Hypertonic NaCl- increases extracellular shrinks intracellular compartmments
Fluid distribution
2/3 intracellular.
280-300 mOsm/l
Net filtration pressure
usually 10mmHg = 60(glomerular hydrostatic) - 18(bowmans capsule pressure) - 32 (glomerular oncotic pressure)
Normal GFR
125 ml
GFR
GFR= ultrafiltration coefficient (net filtration force)
Relationship between GFR and MAP
No change in GFR with higher BP because of autoregulation.
- myogenic
- tubuloglomerular feedback
Hormones that decrease GFR
NE, Epinephrine, Endothelin (all by increasing constriction)
Hormone with no change in GFR/ prevention of decreasing GFR
ANGII (preferentially constricts efferent arteriole)
Hormones/substances that increase GFR
Endothelal derived NO
Prostaglandins
Filtration barrier
Fenestrations = 700 angstroms
Basement membrane= IV collagen, laminin, fibronectin (neg proteins)
Podocyte slit pores = 40-140 angstroms
Solubility of proteins
Myoglobin (17kDa) .75
Albumin (69 kDa) .005
Thin descending loop function
passive resorption of water 2/2 cortical medullary osmotic gradient
Thin ascending limb function
Passive resorption of sodium and excretion of urea to dilute tubular fluid
Thick ascending limb
- 25%sodium resorbed by NA/K/CL transporter
- Na resorbed in exchange for H+
- Sodium potassium ATP pump on interstitial side
- Chloride pore on interstitial side
- positive luminal fluid also pushes K, Na, MG, and Ca into interstitium via paracellular diffusion
Furoseminde
Blocks NA, K, CL cotransporter
Early distal tubule
- Paracellular Mg, Ca resorption
- NaCl cotransporter resption
- Na/K ATPase on interstitial side
- Cl channel on interstitial side
Late distal tubule and collecting duct
- Resorbs Na, secretes K (via interstitial NA/K atpase and KC and ENaC on luminal side)
- aldosterone dependant
- ADH causes aquoporin translocation
Medullary collecting duct
- Na resorption via NaK atpase and ENaC
- ADH aquoporin translocation
- Urea resorption in medullary collecting duct
Aldosterone
^ NaK atpase activity
ANP
Decreases NaCL resorption in distal tubule and collecting tubule and duct.
ANGII
- Increases Na and H20 resorption in proximal tubule through NaK atpase on intertitial side and NaHCO3- cotransporter
- increases H secretion through NaH exchanger
MOST IMPORTANT FOR SODIUM RETENTION
ADH
Increases H2O resorption from late distal tubule on
PTH
Decreases proximal PO4 resorption
Increases CA++resorption in thick ascending and early distal tubule.
AME (Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess)
- Presentation: Low weight, FTT, early childhood severe hypotension, organ damage, renal failure
- Clinical S/S: Hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkylosis, low plasma renin activity, low plasma aldosterone
AME cause
*Deficiency in 11B HSD2 - converts cortisol into cortisone (resulting in high active cortisol concentrations and binding of cortisol to MR)
Common on consanguineous relationships (kissing cousins)
Liddle synddrome
*HTN, Hypokalemia, Metaboolic alkylosis, Low plasma renin activity, LOW PLASMA AND URINARY ALDOSTERONE.
Liddle syndrome cause
*constituatively open ENaC
SCNN1G or SCNN1B gene mutations
AME treatment
Condition usually recognized too late for treatment to be effective.
Amiloride and Triamterene (block sodium channel)
Spironolactone and Eplerenone (block MR)
Dexamethasone (Block ACTH)
Liddle Syndrome treatment
Amiloride and Triamterene (block sodium channel)
good prognosis with treatment
Bartter syndrome
Early childhood presentation
- Growth and mental retardation, polyuria, polydipsia,
- HYPERCALCEMIA, hypokalemia, hyperreninemia,hyperaldosteronism, metabolic alkylosis, HYPOTENSION
Gitelman Syndrome
Adolescent or adult presentation
*cramping, fatigue, plyuria,noctura
*HYPOMAGNESEMIA
HYPOtension
Barter and Gitelman causes
Autosomal recessive
*NaCl resorption problems
*RAS activation and hyperaldosteronism
Bartter is NA/K/CL transporter in thick ascending
Gitelman is NaCl transporter in distal tubule
