Distal Renal Tubular disorders Flashcards
% sodium reabsorbed in PT?
65-70%
% sodium reabsorbed in T.A.L.
25%
% sodium reabsorbed in DT
5%
Na transporter in TAL
NK2C co-transporter
Na transporter in DT
Thiazide-sensitive co-transporter Na/Cl
% sodium reabsorbed in CD
1-2% (by epithelial Na channel)
Acetazolamide target
carbonic anhydrase
Furosemide/bumetanide/ethacrynic acid target
NK2C cotransporter
Thiazides target
Na-Cl cotransporter
What targets epithelial sodium channels
amiloride and triamterene
What targets the mineral corticoid receptor
spironolactone and eplerenone
Hyperplasia of JG apparatus, elevated plasma renin and aldosterone
Bartter Syndrome
Presentation of Bartter Syndrome
1) acid base status
2) potassium
3) aldosterone
4) renin
5) 2 other features
1) Hypochloremic met alkalosis,
2) hypokalemia,
3) hyperaldosteronism,
4) hyperreninemia,
5) elevated PGE2, failure to thrive
Bartter treatment
potassium supplements, magnesium (also spironolactone)
What presents with prenatal massive polyhydramnios (due to fetal polyuria)
Neonatal Bartter (also has massive salt wasting at birth)
In neonatal Bartter, the amniotic fluid has elevated levels of
PGE2 (this is a target for treatment with COX inhibitors)
Bartter Mutations (5)
NKC2, ROMK, CLCNKA, CLCNKB, Barttin
What is barttin
Cl channel A/B inserter in kidney/inner ear
Presentation of Gitelman Syndrome
1) acid base status
2) potassium
3) magnesium
4) calcium (blood/urine)
5) other feature
1) hypochloremic met alkalosis,
2) hypokalemia,
3) hypomagnesemia,
4) Hypercalcemia / hypocalciuria
5) (presents later in life with Normal growth)
Gitelman mutation
Na-Cl co transporter of the DCT (thiazide sensitive)
Liddle syndrome presentation
1) [main feature]
2) renin
3) aldosterone
4) potassium
5) acid base status
1) hypertension,
2) low renin,
3) low aldosterone,
4) hypokalemia,
5) met alkalosis
Liddle syndrome closely resembles
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1
mutation in Liddle
gain of function in the Beta or gamma subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (aldosterone sensitive channel, stuck open)
Liddle treatment
salt restriction and diuretics
causes of Hypokalemia
diuretics and hyperaldosteronism
causes of hyperkalemia
hypoaldosteronism and pseudohypoaldosteronism
TTKG tests what?
aldosterone response in the DT
for TTKG, urine sodium must be?
greater than 25 mmol/L
TTKG formula
[urine potass over plasma potass] divided by [urine osm over plasma osm]
simplified TTKG formula
UK x Posm / PK x Uosm
Normal range for TTKG
2-8
Less than 2 on TTKG is?
hypokalemia
greater than 4 on TTKG is?
hyperkalemia
