FEN/Renal Flashcards
neonatal evaporative water loss attributed to
respiratory tract 1/3
skin 2/3
when is ADH present
11 weeks
where is ADH produced
paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of hypothalamus –> posterior pituitary
where does ADH act
late distal tubule
cortical and medullary collecting ducts
increases urine osmolality
factitious hyponatremia from:
hyperlipidemia 0.002
hyperproteinemia 0.25
hyperglycemia 1.6
Na deficit =
(na desired - na current) X 0.6 x weight
u wave on ekg
hypokalemia
alkalosis related hypokalemia pathophys
H+ exits cell and K+ enters cell
acidosis effect on K+
for every 0.1 reduction in pH
every 0.1 reduction in arterial pH –> 0.6 mEq/L increase in K+
intracellular buffers
bone apatite
hemoglobin
organic phosphates
extracellular buffers
HCO3-
phosphates
proteins
mechanisms of acid-base balance in kidney
- reabsorption of HCO3- (PT)
- H+ excretion via ammoniagenesis in PT
- formation of titratable acids in cortical/medullary collecting tubule
anion gap =
Na+ - {Cl- + HCO3-}
side effects of NaHCO3 administration
- worsening acidosis if poor pulm blood flow/ventilation because CO2 cannot be removed
- increase risk hypernatremia
- hypocalcemia: Ca decreases as HCO3 causes Ca to bind to albumin decreasing ionized Ca+
- K+ may decrease
- increase risk IVH due to hypertonicity
RTA4 subtypes and labs
subtype 1: NaCl wasting, decreased urine aldosterone
a.w Addisons and CAH
subtype 4: NaCl wasting, increased urine aldosterone
Pseudohypoaldosteronism
subtype 5 (MCC): NaCl reabsorption normal, tubule insensitive
secondary causes of RTA II
prematurity
tyrosinemia
tubular disorders (fanconi, cystinosis, Lowe)
secondary causes of RTA I
interstitial renal disease
genetic
autoimmune
hypotonic states
drug induced
Bartter syndrome pathophysiology
- hypertrophy + hyperplasia of renal juxtaglomerular apparatus
- defect in Cl transport in ascending loop preventing reabsorption
- increased renin, increased aldosterone, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, normal PTH
Management of Bartter
potassium, +/- thiazide, +/- indomethacin
what dermal layer does kidney come from?
mesoderm
what are the 3 structures of kidney embryology
pronephros-transient
mesonephros - epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles
metanephros - pevicalyceal system, 5th week
when do nephrons appear
8 weeks
FGR affects size or number of nephrons?
number
number of nephrons increase until ____ weeks then start increasing in size
34-35
which area are nephrons most mature at birth
juxtaglomerular nephrons
when does urine start being produced?
10-12 weeks
reasons for decreased concentrating capacity in preterm infants
- tubule insensitivity to ADH
- short loop of henle
- low osmolality of medullary interstitium
- low serum urea
sodium reabsorption in parts of kidney
65% proximal tubule
25% ascending loop of henle
10% DCT/collecting duct
reabsorption and secretion of K+ in kidney
- reabsorption PT and ascending loop
- secreted in DCT and CT
