Q

Formula for filtration rate (Kf)

A

Filtration rate = Kf (NFP)

125ml/min = Kf (10mmHG)

Q

What happens if the GFR is low? too high? What does the kidneys do?

A

Causes the efferent arteriole to constrict, causing a higher pressure in the glomerular capillaries and relaxes to lower the pressure.

Q

After reabsorption in the peritubular capillaries occur, where does it go?

A

Back into the cardiovascular system

23
Q

What is the oncotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries and peritubular capillaries?

A

32mmHg; 32mmHg

24
Q

What is the pressure in the peritubular capillaries?

25
What is the (Pi symbol ISF) osmotic pressure outside of the peritubular capillaries?
- (Pi symbol ISF) 15mmHg - (Physical/ PISF) fluid pressure 6mmHg
26
What is the NFP (net filtration pressure) and NRP (net reabsorption pressure) in the peritubular capillaries?
-10mmHg; 10mmHg NRP = Pi CAP 32 + PISF 6 - Pi symbol ISF 15 - Pcap 13
27
What is normal renal blood flow?
1.1L/min
28
What is the normal CO for a healthy adult? How much plasma is filtered through the kidneys?
5L; 20% (1.1L)
29
All of the stuff reabsorbed will travel back to the CV system via....
Renal vein
30
Where does the renal tubule empty into?
Ureter and into the bladder
31
If the kidney recognizes toxins, what odes it do?
Physically pumps (secretes) it into the renal tubule via specialized transporters in reverse reabsorption process. (peritubular caps > matrix > renal tubule cell wall > renal tubule)
32
Change in filtration fraction is dependent on the efferent arteriole action by....
If the efferent arteriole constricts > increase GFR Efferent arteriole relaxes > decrease GFR
33
What is the normal filtration percent?
20% (equation) renal plasma flow GFR / RPF (125ml/min / 660ml/min)
34
What is our plasma volume out of the 1100 ml?
660 (1100 x 60%)
35
What is our HCT out of the 1100 ml?
440 (1100 x 40%)
36
- What down stream effect happens if the afferent arteriole constricts > glomerular pressure is low? - Afferent arteriole relaxes > glomerular pressures is High?
GFR is low > decrease renal blood flow GFR is high > increase renal blood flow
37
What if the efferent arteriole constricts? If the efferent arteriole is relaxed
Glomerular pressure is high > GFR is high > increase renal blood flow Glomerular pressure decrease > reduce GFR > decrease renal blood flow
38
In a healthy individual, autoregulation of the renal system can have pressures of
50-150mmHg
39
Autoregulation in the kidneys can prevent...
under perfusion and over perfusion
40
What are the risks if our renal autoregulation didn't work?
We would lose massive amounts of fluid.
41
If we had a stroke and renal auto regulations isn't functioning properly, what happens?
Our body wouldn't be able to perfuse the area of damage in the brain d/t increase UOP.
42
What is normal UOP?
1ml/min
43
auto regulation without RAAS High BP leads to... (renal system) Low BP?
High GFR > High UOP > lower BP Low GFR > Low UOP > increase BP
44
In a normal person, what route does glucose follow in the renal system?
Filtration with complete reabsorption in PCT
45
In a normal person, what route does sodium follow in the renal system?
Filtration with partial reabsorption in PCT
46
What is para-aminohippuric acid (PAH)?
This is when everything that was filtered is eventually secreted in the tubule. This is also used to diagnose and estimate renal blood flow. (more renal PAH in the urine = high renal blood flow) vice versa
47
What are fenestrations
glomerular openings in the endothelium
48
What provides structural support to the capillary bed?
Epithelium (podocytes). Have foot openings called slit pores.
49
Inside the basement membrane of the kidneys are negatively charged to help....
repel other negatively charged proteins from floating out of the fenestrations.
50
What happens to the glomerular capillaries if exposed to chronic HTN (SBP 200s)
glomerular capillaries are blown out.
51
What are dextrans?
real big hetastarch. used to check renal filtration size and charge. - increase size, negative charge = less filterable - small in size, positive charge = filterable
52
Example of filterable substances
Water Na+ Urea glucose sucrose inulin myoglobin - rare albumin - not normal/never
53
What is inulin?
synthetic compound given as an injectable that provides a more accurate GFR with urine collection.
