Kidney excretion =
filtered + secreted - reabsorbed
Filtration Fraction =
GFR/RPF (about 1/5)
properties causing filtration at glomerulus ?
elevated capillary hydrostatic pressure more permeable capillary (glomerular cap’s)
cause of reabsorption in the peritubular capillary?
high osmotic pressure generated by filtration upstream, and a low hydrostatic pressure generated by high resistance in the efferent arteriole (upstream) lossof fluid due to filtration
fluid breakdown in body
60% total weight2/3 = ICF1/3 = ECF of which is 25% plasmaless in obese peoplemore in skinny males
Concentration =
M/V
Total Body Water markers
Tritiated water Deuterated water Antipyrine
Extracellular fluid markers
Inulin Mannitol radioactive Na
Plasma fluid markers
Evan’s Blue (T-1824) 125I albumin
Intracellular Volume =
TBW-ECF
renal clearance =
VOLUME of plasma completely cleared of X per unit time([Ux] x V) / [Px] Ux: urine concentration V: urine flow ratePx: plasma concentration
GFR estimated by:
inulin clearancealso creatinine clearance reflects GFR
RPF =
PAH clearanceAssumed 100% of PAH is voided from plasma through the kidney via filtration and secretionReality Only 90% of PAH is excreted, so PAH clearance = effective RPF… underestimate of true RPF
Assumption for inulin and GFR
inulin is: freely filtered, not reabsorbed, not secreted, not syn via kidney, not degraded by kidney, doesn’t alter kidney function
BUN/Pcr
indicates reason for abnormal serum creatinine and BUN<20:1 = dehydration/prerenal failure10:1 with elevated BUN and Pcr = intrinsic renal failure
FEna diagnostic purpose
Fractional Excretion of Na values for PR and ATN/ARF have little overlap… best for diagnostic differentiationPR –> low FEnaATN –> higher FEna
Plasma Osmolarity Estimation
2x[Na] + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8usually about 300mosm/kg
Effects on body volumes:Diarrhea
Diarrhea (isosmotic):- ECFICF and Osmolarity unchanged
Effects on body volumes:Water Deprivation
Water Deprivation (hyperosmotic):- Both ECF and ICF+ osmolarity
Effects on body volumes:Adrenal insufficiency
Adrenal insufficiency (Hyposmotic): - ECF and osmolarity+ ICF
Effects on body volumes:Infusion of Isotonic Na
Isotonic increase: + ECFUnchanged ICF and Osmolarity
Effects on body volumes:NaCl Intake
Hyperosmotic increase:+ ECF and Osmolarity- ICF
Effects on body volumes:SIADH/drinking lots of water
Hyposmotic increase:+ ECF and ICF- Osmolarity
GFR =
Kf x (Pc - Pbs - oncotic Pc) aka net filtration Pnet filtration usually 6mmhg (45 - 29 - 10)
