Lecture 3 - Renal Flashcards
physiological functions of kidneys
- ___ functions
- control of solutes and fluids
- ___ control
- ___ balance
- drug metabolism and excretion
- metabolic waste excretion
- endocrine
- BP
- acid/base
Where in the nephron is 100% filtrate produced
Bowman’s capsule
major reabsorption site of kidney: 80% filtrate reabsorbed
proximal convoluted tubule
active and passive absorption
Where in the nephron does H2O and salt conservation take place?
loop of henle
6% of filtrate reabsorbed
Where in the nephron does variable reabsorption and active secretion take place?
Distal convoluted tubule
9% filtrate reabsorbed
Where in the nephron does variable salt and H2O reabsorption take place?
Collecting tubule
measuring kidney function
serum creatinine
* predominantly removed by ___
* increase = (bad or good)
blood urea nitrogen
- measure of liver break down of ___
- increase = (bad or good)
creatinine clearance
- useful for prediciting ___ and ___ clearance
___ filtration rate
- filtration
- bad
- amino acids
- bad
- secretion, drug
glomerular
markers of kidney damage
- urinary abnormalities - protein, RBC suggestive of ___ malfunctions
- imaging abnormalities - MRI/CT scans
- membrane
kidney function declines with age due to decrease in ___
nephrons
kidney mass decreases
important to consider for drug dosing in aging
compensatory response to renal injury
- decrease in # of ___
- nephrons work harder to ___
- hard work eventually causes glomeruler and tubular ___
- more loss of ___, can no longer compensate
- progressive decrease in ___
- ___temia
- ___ syndrome
- death
- nephrons
- compensate
- lesions
- nephrons
- GFR
- azotemia
- uremic
2 largest sources of kidney injury/failure
diabetes (38%) and HTN (24%)
T or F: AKI death rate is more than breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart failure, and diabetes combined
T; 300,00 people die annually from AKI
criteria of AKI
- increase in SCr > ___ mg/dL ( > or equal to 26.5 umol/L) within 48 hr
or - increase in SCr > ___ % which is known or presumed to have occured within the prior 7 days or
- a reduction in urine output (oliguria of < ___ mL/kg/h for 6 h)
- 0.3
- 50
- 0.5

Disruption autoregulation
NSAIDs
- decreased ___ prostaglandins ( ___ afferent resistance)
- Glomerular capillary pressure drops, ___ decreases
ACE-I
- decreased ___ ( ___ efferent resistance)
- Glomerular capillary pressure drops, ___ decreases
- vasodilatory, increased
- GFR
- angiotensin II, decreased
- GFR
