Glomerular Hemodynamics Flashcards
what is male percentage of body weight that is water? Female?
60%
50%
what percent of water is in cells?
2/3
what fraction of water is extracellular fluid?
1/3
what percent of the ECF fluid is in plasma?
25%
what percent of the ECF fluid is in the interstitium?
75%
how is osmolality defined?
mOsm of a solute per kilogram of water
define tonicity
effective osmolality refers to the osmolality of solutes that do not freely cross the membrane
what is the normal osmolality of ICF and ECF?
275-295 mOsm/Kg
do salt and water intake directly affect the tonicity?
sure do
what four molecules contribute to the total osmolality?
Na, Glucose, BUN, and alcohol
what is the equation for total osmolality?
2xNa+glucose/18+BUN/2.8+EtOH/3.7
what is the equation for effective osmolality?
2xNa+glucose/18
why are BUN and EtOH not included in the effective osmolality equation?
because they do not cross the membrane
between ICF and ECF, what is exerting force for movement?
TONICITY
what is the net excretion equation?
filtration+secretion-reabsorption
what is the glomerular filtration rate?
rate of filtration at the glomerulus…main measure of kidney function
what is normal GFR for female and male?
Femal 95+-20
Male 120+-25
what is normal renal blood flow?
1000ml/min
equation for renal plasma flow?
renal blood flow X (1-hematocrit)
how to calculate the filtered load of a molecule?
GFR times the Plasma concentration of the solute
how to measure the excreted load?
Flow rate of urine times urine concentration of solute
how to measure reabsorption?
filtered load minus excreted load
how to measure secretion amount of solute?
excretion load minus filtered load
what is the unit of clearance?
ml/min
define clearance rate?
volume of plasma that is completely cleared of a substance per unit time
what is the clearance formula?
urine flow rate times urine concentration of solute divided by plasma concentration of solute
