Kidney Flashcards
Kidney funct tests used for
assess function
water balance
acid base balance
3 process of kidney
g
t
t
golmerulor filtration
tube reabsorbtion
tube secretion
NH3
filtered and secreted
not reabsorbed
Glucose
filtered and partically reabsorbed
AA
filtered and completly reabsorbed
Golmerular filtration
first part of?
filters?
based on?
blood filtered per min is?
first part of nephron
filters incoming blood
based on BP/membrane
blood filtered per min = GFR
Proximal tube
waste products/valuble products
tubular reabsorb/secretion
Loop of henly
hyperosmolality
concurrent flow
Distal tubule
filtrate similar to?
balance?
what is secreted in response to increased osmolality?
stims?
makes what?
filtrate similar to final compound
electrolyte/acid base balance
AVP sec by posterior pituitary in response to inc osmolality
stims H20 reabs
makes distal tubes permeable to water
Aldosterone
where is it located?
system?
adrenal cortex
RAAS
Na absorb
K/H excretion
Collecting duct
final site
AVP/Aldosterone
Cl/urea
highly permeable
NPN elimination
synth?
readily filt by?
waste products from body
3 princ compounds
urea/creatininine/uric acid
UREA MOST
synth in liver
readily filtered by golm
Creatinine
how much becomes waste?
creatin phosphate muscle fuel
20% muscle creatinine becomes waste
levels tied to muscle mass
not reabsorbed
Uric acid
what kind of metabolism
filtered by?
how much is excreted?
purine metabolism
filt by glom
6-12% excreted
Water balance
reg by
dehydration
excess hydration
reg by AVP
dehydration - tubes reabs h20 until osmol 1200
Excess H20- excretion of large diluted urine 50 osmol
Sodium
prim extracell cation
controlled by excretion
RAAS mechanism
