Q

Cr values needed to get GFR (or Crcl): what’s the formula

A

GFR x plasma conc Cr = urine conc Cr x urine volume

20
Q

what urine volume to use in crcl or GFR formula

A

24 hour urine collection

21
Q

how Cr varies with GFR

A

lower GFR = higher Cr (blood!!)

22
Q

stage 1 CKD def

A

kidney damage, normal GFR, above 90

23
Q

stage 2 CKD def

A

kidney damage, mild drop in GFR, 60-89

24
Q

stage 3 CKD def

A

moderate drop in GFR. 30-59

25
Q

stage 4 CKD def

A

severe drop in GFR. 15-29

26
Q

stage 5 CKD def

A

ESRD. less than 15.

27
Q

stage 5 CKD meaning

A

dialysis or need for dialysis or pre-dialysis

28
Q

urinary creatinine qt for males and females

A

males 0.2 mmol per kg daily

females 0.15 mmol per kg daily

29
Q

urinary creatinine used for what

A

check if complete 24 hr urine collection is done

30
Q

real way of determining GFR

A

Cockroft Gault formula: use serum Cr only

(140-age)xweightx(1.2 if male)div.serum Cr

31
Q

2 things to note about Cr and GFR

A
  1. have to be in steady state

2. CrCl overestimates GFR bc Cr secreted in PCT

32
Q

normal GFR

A

100 ml per min

33
Q

things that can affect Cr production (2)

A

meat intake and age (less muscle mass)

34
Q

urea origin and absorption in tubule

A

comes from a.a metab

PCT

35
Q

urea vs GFR

A

inversely proportional

36
Q

urea and Cr in hypovolemia

A

urea rises much more than Cr so can assess patients with acute renal failure

37
Q

range of renal autoregulation

A

BP 80 to 160

38
Q

renal autoregulation goal

A

maintain GFR

39
Q

renal autoregulation 5 components

A

myogenic, ATII (RAAS), SS, PGs, TG feedback

40
Q

myogenic reflex of autoregul

A

low BP: AA dilates and EE constricts

high BP: AA constricts and EE dilates

41
Q

components of juxtaglomerular apparatus

A
  1. macula densa cells of the DCT in contact with AA

2. juxtaglomerular cells (modified SM cells) in AA

42
Q

TG feedback (3 steps)

A
  1. macula densa cells sense NaCl in DCT
  2. if too low, produce NO to dilate AA
  3. juxtaglomerular cells release renin if BP is low (sense low volume)
43
Q

vasoconstriction in renal autoregul

A

SS reaction to drop in BP (SS: epinephrine causes vasoconstriction)

44
Q

ATII (RAAS) in renal autoregul

A

renin leads to ATII prod.

ATII constricts EA more than AA

45
Q

PGs in renal autoregul

A

PGs dilate the AA to preserve GFR

46
Q

NSAIDs and GFR

A

NSAIDs block PGs so drop GFR
