Functional Renal Flashcards
Typical rate for GFR
125 ml/min
first step in urine formation
glomerular filtration
water and solutes are filtered into the capsule due to
hydrostatic pressure
where does tubular reabsorption occur?
PCT
nutrients, ions, majority of the water is reabsorbed back into the blood by … throughout…
passive and active mechanisms
through PCT, loop of Henle and DCT
which process is an active one?
tubular secretion
capacity of bladder
700-800ml
where do we find the functional or parenchymal tissue in the kidney?
medulla
blood back to filtrate
tubular secretion
filtrate back to blood
tubular reabsorption
functional RPs
MAG3, DTPA
morphological RPs
DMSA, Gluco
tubular secreted agent
MAG3
glomerular filtrated agent
DTPA
agent that has the higher protein binding
MAG3
why does MAG3 have high T:NT?
can’t diffuse into extravascular spaces
agent of choice for obstruction cases or highly impaired renal functions
MAG3
agent used for ERPF
MAG3
mag3 first pass extraction = %?
dtpa first pass extraction = %?
mag3 = 50%
dtpa = 20%
70% dose excreted in urine at 30mins
mag3
50% of dose excreted in urine at 2hrs
dtpa
agent used for GFR
dtpa
indication for functional renal scans
- for baseline or followup of kidney differential function and PERFUSION
- trauma, failure
- eval transplant (rejection, urine leak, atn)
