Q

Cue:

  • mom at the vending machine taking away peanuts and giving her son a banana
A
  • vending machine = Na+/K+ ATPase (pump) on the basolateral membrane
  • taking away peanuts = taking away Na+
  • giving banana = giving K+
  • *** The Na+/K+ ATPase pumps 3 Na+ out and 2 K+ in.

20
Q

By how much is the concentration of bicarb increased at the end of the proximal convoluted tubule?

A

85%

21
Q

Cue:

  • batteries
A

ATP

22
Q

H+ + HCO3- = ______

A

carbonic acid (H2CO3)

23
Q

Is acetazolamide K+ sparing or wasting? Why?

A
  • wasting
  • bc Na+ is spared
24
Q

Why is bicarb reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule?

A

to maintain acid-base status

25
Q

What is the normal intracellular concentration of Na+ in the renal ? Why?

A
  • low
  • to allow for increased renal tubule absorption
26
Q

What kind of acid/base change do carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as acetazolamide, cause?

A

a normal anion gap metabolic acidosis

27
Q

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as acetazolamide, cause sodium and bicarb to stay in the lumen leading to _____.

A

urine alkalization

28
Q

How does mannitol work in the kidney?

A

it remains in the lumen –> water is pulled into the lumen towards it (osmotic diuresis)

29
Q

Cue:

  • track worker standing at the edge of the yellow/gray tracks handing out peanuts to the gray side and letting H+ helmets back into the yellow side
A
  • track worker = Na+/H+ exchanger
  • peanuts = Na+
  • H+ helmets = protons
  • *** Na+/H+ exchanger is located on the apical membrane
30
Q

By how much is the concentration of filtered glucose and amino acids decreased by the end of the proximal convoluted tubule?

A

all

31
Q

Cue:

  • bananas
A

potassium (K+)

32
Q

Which diuretics exert their effects at the proximal convoluted tubule?

A
  • acetazolamide
  • mannitol
33
Q

What is the function of the Na+/H+ exchanger?

A

allows bicarb reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubule

34
Q

At which site in the nephron do acetazolamide and mannitol exert their effects?

A

at the proximal convoluted tubule

35
Q

What is mannitol? What is it used to treat?

A
