Exam 1 Physio Flashcards
Eqn for extracellular osmolarity
ECF osm=2Na + Glc/18 + BUN/2.8
normal is about 300
Markers for total body water
tritium/deuterium
antipyrine
Markers for ECF
inulin
mannitol
radioactive sulfate
these cannot permeate cell walls
Markers for Plasma
radiolabeled albumin/colloid
evans blue
these cannot permate capillary walls
Effects of tonicity on cell
hypertonic soln- cell shrinks
hypotonic soln- cell swells
Fluid fractions intra and extracellular
intracellular=2/3
extracellular=1/3
Impact of adrenal insufficiency or overuse of diuretics on ECF/ICF
decrease ECF/[Na] in plasma
increase ICF
Impact of SIADH or bronchogenic tumors on ECF/ICF
increased ICF and ECF
decrease [Na] in plasma
Impact of Diabetes insipidus or excessive sweating on ECF/ICF
decrease ICF and ECF
increase [Na] in plasma
Impact of Cushing’s disease or primary aldosteronism on ECF/ICF
increased ECF
decreased ICF
increased [Na] in plasma
Causes of intracellular edema
decreased metabolism (ATPase not working) hyponatremia
How can the liver cause edema?
decreased synthesis of albumins
What is the cause of congenital nephrotic syndrome?
nephrin protein defect
Capillary oncotic pressure in kidneys
decreases along the length of glomerulus
dictates reabsorption of proximal tubulues in the peritubular capillaries
Filtration fraction eqn
FF=GFR/RPF
What do changes in filtration fraction mean?
increased FF-quicker saturation of oncotic pressure of glomerulus. Shows that more fluid is being filtered, leaving a higher concentration of protein in the peritubular capillaries
What impact the capillary coefficient (Kf)?
hydraulic conductivity
effective SA of filtration (Sf)
What can change the capillary coefficient?
change in SA by mesangial cells to hormones
DM/obesity increases thickness, decreases Kf
HTN can change Kf
Renal blood flow eqn
RBF=(renal artery P - renal vein P)/renal vascular resistance
Hormonal regulation of GFR and RBF
epi/NE/endothelin decrease GFR/RBF
PGE/NO increase GFR/RBF
