EXAM 2 NEPHROLOGY Flashcards
Fluid and electrolytes homeostasis First step = ◦ RBF depends on
production of glomerular filtrate from the renal plasma systolic BP and circulating BV
◦ GFR depends on
RBF
Kidneys receive _______CO over wide range of
20-30%; BP via auto-regulation
◦ Best perfused organ per gram of weight is the ______
Kidney
Renal hormones of autoregulation ◦ Vasodilators: PIND
prostaglandins E and I2, dopamine, nitric oxide
◦ Vasoconstrictors: ATEA
angiotensin II, thromboxane, adrenergic stimulation, endothelin
Nitrous oxide
increase GMP
Too much blood flow
Trauma There is delicate low pressure
RBF + GFR ______during the first
Double in first 2 weeks of post natal life
GFR estimated based on
Cr and height
GFR =
Height(cm) x k /serum creatinine
Better for function is ______but _____gives a close estimate
Creatinine Clearance; GFR
the K constant is dependent on
Age
◦ Kidneys regulate total body Na+ balance and maintains (2) Filters _______mEq Na per day but excretes ___due to
normal extracellular and circulating volumes 25000; 1% efficient resorption
The Proximal tubule resorbs ____-____% and Ascending limb of loop of henle _____% and distal tubule____% (____think PAD)(great to least)
50-70%, ascending limb of loop of Henle 25%, distal tubule 10%
Serum OsmolaLity controlled by (what hormone) Stimulated by ______(HINVOIS)
ADH, Increasing in plasma osmolaLIty , Hypotension, NV, opioids, inflammation and surgery
Normal serum osmolarity
275-295 mosm/kg
Osmolarity Osmolality
L/mosm Kg/mmosm
Potassium Regulation depends on_______ ◦ Binds to receptors in → ______
aldosterone distal nephron; ↑ K+ excretion
◦ Neonates cannot regulate or do this efficiently_______, they normally have ______ Normal K+ 0-1months; 1month - 2 years
- Potassium regulation (neonates less efficient at excreting potassium loads) - ↑ K+ 4-6 4-5.5
Secrete Potassium: Name of the cells
Principal cells
Hyperkalemic patients are often
Acidotic
As H+ inside the cells, potassium
Leave the cell –> patient becomes Hyperkalemic
Treatment of hyperkalemic
Albuterol insulin, Calcium gluconate B-agonist
