(LEC) Toxic Response of the Kidney Flashcards
The kidney releases _________ and ______________
Renin, Erythropoietin
Principal role: Excretion of
metabolic wastes
Kidney
(T/F) The kidney metabolizes VIT A into 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D
False. it metabolizes VITAMIN D3
(T/F) The kidney plays a role on acid-base balance and electrolyte composition
True
(T/F) The kidneys ensure the regulation of extracellular fluid volume
True
Anatomical areas of the kidney (CMP)
- Cortex (90%)
- Medulla (~6-10%),
- Papilla (1-2%)
Functional units of the kidney
NVGT
- Nephron
- Vascular element
- Glomerulus
- Tubular element
A complex, specialized capillary bed composed primarily of endothelial cells.
Glomerulus
Interlobar, arcuate, interlobular arteries and afferent arterioles that supply the glomerulus
Renal artery
(T/F) BOTH afferent and efferent arterioles control glomerular capillary pressure and glomerular plasma flow rate.
True
Carry the blood away from the glomerulus
Afferent arteriole
Deliver the blood to the glomerulus
Efferent arteriole
The glomerulus is a complex, specialized capillary bed composed primarily of __________________ cells.
Endothelial
Three discrete segments of the proximal tubule
CTR 123
S1 (pars convolute)
S2 (transition between pars convolute and pars recta)
S3 (pars recta)
Workhorse of the nephron that reabsorbs 60-80% of solute and water filtered at the glomerulus
Proximal tubule
(T/F) The proximal tubule reabsorbs virtually all the filtered high MW proteins by specific exocytotic protein reabsorption processes.
False. It reabsorbs virtually all the filtered LOW MW proteins by specific ENDOCYTOTIC protein reabsorption processes.
This is characterized by an attenuated and fenestrated cytoplasm & visceral epithelial cells
Renal Vasculature/Glomerulus
Reabsorbs 25% Na and K and 20% of filtered water
Loop of Henle
Iso-osmotic to the renal interstitium (water is freely permeable)
Tubular fluid entering the Thin descending limb
Impermeable to water, and electrolytes are reabsorbed by the active Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport mechanism
Thin ascending limb
________ distal tubule reabsorbs most of the remaining impermeable to water.
Early distal tubule
(T/F) The late distal tubule, cortical collecting tubule, and medullary collecting duct perform the final regulation and finetuning of urinary volume and composition.
True
Build up of Nitrogenous waste in blood caused by decrease in GFR (AKI)
Azotemia
Abrupt decline in GFR with resulting azotemia
Acute Kidney Injury
A complex disorder that comprises multiple causative factors with clinical manifestations ranging from minimal elevation in serum creatinine to anuric renal failure.
Acute Kidney Injury
Decline in GFR result from?
Prerenal, postrenal, intrarenal factors
Cause of GFR decline
renal vasoconstriction, intravascular volume depletion, insufficient cardiac output
Prerenal factors
Afferent arteriolar constriction so dec. blood flow
Cause of GFR decline
ureteral or bladder obstruction
Postrenal factors
Obstruction inc. tubular pressure = dec. GFR
Cause of GFR decline
glomerulonephritis, tubular cell injury, death and loss resulting in back leak
Intrarenal
Back leak in intracellular space/bloodstream
Mechanisms of chemically-induced acute kidney injury
NSAID, Radiocontrast agents, Cyclosporine, Ampho B, Tacrolimus
Vasoconstriction
Never Run Cats After tacos (NRCAT)
Mechanisms of chemically-induced acute kidney injury
Sulfonamides, Methotrexate, Acyclovir, Triamterene, Ethylene glycol, Protease inhibitors
Crystalluria
Silly Monkeys Are Trying Extra Potions (SMATEP)
Mechanisms of chemically-induced acute kidney injury
Cyclosporine, Mitomycin C, Tacrolimus, Cocaine, Conjugated estrogens, Quinine
Endothelial Injury
Mechanisms of chemically-induced acute kidney injury
Gold, Penicillamine, NSAID
Glomerulopathy
Gold Pigs Nibble (GPN)
Mechanisms of chemically-induced acute kidney injury
Antibiotics, NSAID, Diuretics
Interstitial Nephritis
