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
ERPF
effective renal plasma flow; underestimates true RPF by ~10%
Dilate Afferent Arterioles
Prostaglandins (increases RPF and GFR thus FF remains the same)
Constricts Efferent Arteriole
Ang II (decreased RPF, increases GFR, so FF increases)
NSAIDs
prevents dilation of afferent arterioles
ACE-Is
Prevent constriction of efferent arterioles
Afferent arteriole constriction
Decreases RPF and GFR; no change in FF
Efferent arteriole constriction
Decreases RPF and Increases GFR; increases FF
Increase Plasma Protein Concentration
Decreases GFR; decreases FF
Decrease Plasma Protein Concentration
Increases GFR and Increases FF
Constriction of Ureter
decreases GFR and decreases FF
Glucose and normal plasma level
Completely reabsorbed in PT by Na/Glucose cotransport.
Threshold of glucose; start glucosuria
~200mg/dL
Tm of glucose; all transporters are fully saturated
~375mg/dL
Pregnancy on Amino acids and Glucose
decrease reabsorption of glucose and AA in PT; glucosuria and aminoaciduria
Auto. recessive; deficiency of neutral AA transporters in prox renal tubules and enterocytes
Hartnup Disease
Neutral aminoaciduria; pellagra-like symptoms Tx
High protein diet and nicotinic acid (tx for hartnup disease)
