Fluids Flashcards
ECF fraction
1/3 TBW
ICF fraction
2/3 TBW
Plasma Volume fraction
1/4 of ECF
Interstitial Volume fraction
3/4 of ECF
Radiolabeled Albumin
Measures plasma volume
Inulin
Measures Extracellular Volume
Loss of Glomerular filtration barrier charge
Nephrotic syndrome resulting in albuminuria, hypoproteinemia, generalized edema, and hyperlipidemia
Glomerular FIltration Barrier Components
Fenestrated capillaries, Basement membrane with heparin sulfate (to give negative charge), Podocytes
Volume of plasma from which the substance is completely cleared per unit time
Renal Clearance
Clearance of X < GFR
Net reabsorption
Clearance of X > GFR
Net secretion
Clearance of X = GFR
no net secretion of reabsorption
Inulin Clearance
Used to calculate GFR; freely filtered. Neither reabsorbed nor secreted; usually is 100mL/min
Creatinine Clearance
Used to estimate GFR but slightly overestimates it since renal tubules moderately secrete creatinine
Para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) Clearance
Used to calculate Effective RPF; both filtered and actively secreted in the proximal tubule
