Q

T/F:
ADH allows the renal system to reabsorb only H2O.

A

Q

Based on balance, if we eat a lot of salt, what does the kidneys do?

A

It lowers the angiotensin II to decrease Na+ reabsorption

16
Q

What happens if you have abnormally high angiotensin II?

A

high BP

17
Q

What does it mean if you have some type of angiotensin II blockade?

A

Low angiotensin II > low aldosterone > unable to retain salt/water > low BP

18
Q

What happens if #1 of your kidneys are stenosed?

A

kidney 1
low pressures, low NaCl > inc. renin > inc. ang II > inc. MAP

kidney 2
Senses inc. MAP > dec. renin > but not enough to match the high renin in kidney 1 > HTN (but not as high that it could be)

19
Q

Which meds work well for ang II problems?

A

ARBs

20
Q

What is the build up of structures of the GCs?

A

Podocytes

21
Q

What can happen to the GCs if exposed to pressures > 60 mmHg for too long?

A

damaged capillary beds

22
Q

How does taste buds work?

A

It has Na and K channels. Na influx, K efflux, cell becomes excited. More Na+ > inc excitability (more taste).

*no Cl- channels

23
Q

What are salt substitutes made of?

A

K+; makes food taste weird

24
Q

How does the renal respond to high Na intake?

A

High Na+ > sensed by MD > dec. ang II > dec. aldosterone

High fluid volume > high Pcap > high GFR > high Na+ to MD > dec. ang II > dec. aldosterone > inc. excretion

25
Q

Do African/africans have salt sensitive HTN?

A

No, only African Americans.

African Americans have low renin levels but responds to ACEi.

26
Q

How does mannitol work?

A

It doesn’t get reabsorbed so it all gets excreted.

27
Q

How does ARBs/Ace i work?

A

Blocks Ang II > less NA reabsorption

28
Q

What does K sparing meds affect?

A

Aldosterone

29
Q

What is normal creatinine clearance for 1mg/ml?

A

Filtered = 1mg/dl x 125ml/min = 1.25mg/min

(nml Cr secreted/min = 0.15mg/min)

Excretion rate = secreted + Filtered
1.40 = 0.15 + 1.25

30
Q

What is the normal excretion rate compared to production rate?

A

It’s balanced (equals each other)

31
Q

What would happen to our Cr. clearance if we lost 1 kidney?

A

normally we excrete 1.25mg/min
now it’s 0.625mg/min (cut in half).

Since we’re only removing half of what’s being produced, Cr levels rises to dbl concentration in order to remove the same amount produced.

32
Q

T/F:
Production is not equal to excretion

A

False; If production (ex. Cr) is not equal to the excretion rate, the concentration will keep doubling until it’s equal.

33
Q

Nephron Math???

A
34
Q

What restrictions needed for kidney failure? Problems?

A

Restriction: Na, K, protein

Problems: Acidosis, hyperK, hyperNa, hypervolume, HTN

35
Q

What happens if you add an isotonic solution?

A

Increased ECF

36
Q

What happens if you add a hypotonic solution?

A

Osmolarity drops
increase ICF
Increased ECF

37
Q

What happens if you add a hypertonic solution?

A

Osmolarity increase
Decreased ICF
Increased ECF
