B4-087 Renal Physiology VI Flashcards
when sodium is reabsorbed, […] is secreted
potassium
activates the proton pumps
hormone
aldosterone
hyperaldosterone = metabolic alkalosis
how does hypokalemia cause metabolic alkalosis?
- potassium moves out
- H+ moves in to maintain electrical neutrality –> raises blood pH
- also: increased ammonia production
- hypertension
- hypokalemia
- metabolic acidosis
w/ low renin and low aldosterone
Liddle’s syndrome
diuretic that targets ENac
triamterene
treatment for Liddles
why does hyperglycemia cause pseudohyponatremia?
- water is driven by glucose out of cells into ECF
- cause volume expansion
- dilutes sodium in ECF
when sodium goes down, […] goes down
chloride
why is plasma K+ high in acidosis?
acidosis causes K+ to move from cell to ECF in exchange for H+
all the glucose is reabsorbed in the
proximal tubule
glucose is secreted in urine when
surpasses point of saturation
why does acidosis cause hypercalciuria?
acidosis triggers osteoclasts –> high bone turnover –> hypercalciuria –> nephrolithiasis
causes generalize reduction in bone density
how does acidosis cause kidney stones?
hypercalciuria + increased citrate reabsorption
low citrate and high urine pH precipitate stones
treatment of distal renal tubular acidosis
- restore pH with bicarb and sodium citrate
- KCl supplement therapy
- vitamin D/Ca++ for ricketts
produced by mutations that cause hyperactivation of ENac
liddle’s
- high blood pressure
- low renin
- low aldosterone
Liddle’s
