Kidney Rate calculations Flashcards
1
Q
how is the rate of filtration of a substance calculated
A
= [substance] in plasma x GFR
2
Q
how is the rate of excretion of a substance calculated
A
= [substance] in urine x urine flow rate(Vu)
3
Q
when can we say that net reabsorption of a substance has occurred
A
when rate of filtration > rate of elimination
4
Q
how is the rate of reabsorption calculated
A
= rate of filtration - rate of elimination
5
Q
when can we say that net secretion of a substance has occurred
A
when rate of elimination > rate of filtration
6
Q
how is rate of secretion calculated
A
= rate of elimination - rate of filtration
7
Q
what do the rates of reabsorption and secretion reflect in terms of kidney function
A
they reflect the tubular modification of the substance
