Long Term Flashcards
what controls long term pressure
how much extracellular fluid you have in body
balance b/w fluid intake and output
if blood volume increases, vascular capacitance:
is not altered
if blood volume increases, arterial pressure will
increase
rising arterial pressure causes kidneys to
excrete excess volume, returning pressure to normal
level of extracellular fluid volume in body determines
long term arterial pressure
when arterial pressure falls below 50, what happens to urinary output
there is nourinary output
if arterial pressure is increased to 200 what happens to urinary output
it increases 8x
diuresis means
increase in urinary output
increased arterial pressure means what for urinary output
increase
increase in pressure causes what to happen to sodium
increase in sodium output
if water leaves
sodium leaves
pressure diuresis
Increased urinary output in response to increasing pressure
pressure natriuresis.
The increase in pressure causes an approximate equal increase in sodium output
if you infuse saline into dog what happens to CO
increases
if you infuse saline into dog what happens to urinary output
increases
if you infuse saline into dog what happens to arterial pressure
increases
what determines each person’s arterial pressure?
water and salt output has to equal water and salt intake - long term they have to be equal
equilibrium point
where intake and output curves intersect and is an individuals long term arterial pressure.
if BP increases what will system do
increase urine until pressure goes back down to equilibrium
anything that increases arterial pressure will cause
urinary output to go up until it goes down to equilibrium point
if there is decrease in arterial pressure what will happen to urinary output
decrease
if equilibrium point determine BP why is everybody’s BP a little bit different
there are two ways to determien long term arterial pressure:
shift salt and water intake or shift ability of kidneys to excrete fluid at a particular pressure
the two ways to determine long term arterial pressure
The degree of pressure shift of the renal output curve for water and salt
Some abnormality has caused the renal output curve to shift 50 mmHg to the right
Salt and water intake line
Increase intake of salt and/or water
in most people renal function curve is steep and chanages in salt take
only have have a modest effect on arterial pressure

a human can change salt and water intake trremendously and not alter
BP
most people are salt _____
insensitive
if you are salt sensitive, it means that
the chronic renal output curve is much less steep, so increase in salt or water changes pressure and you have to change renal output to change it
what can cause salt sensitive
loss of functional nephrons due to kidney injury
excessive formation of antinatriuretic hormones
reduction in kidney mass or injury to kidney
what can cause loss of functional nephron
kidney injury
nephron is
functional unit of kidney
can kidney regenerate new nephrons
no
what happens to nephron number as you age
decrease
once a nephron is gone
its gone :(
each nephron contains
a tuft of glomerular capillaries called the glomerulus
a long tubule in which the filtered fluid is converted into urine.
if kidneys are destroyed, only way to remove extracellular fluid is
dialysis
what happens to BP to someone in renal failure
increase - you can’t get rid of the fluid
antinatriuretic hormones do what
hormones that reabsorb sodium and water in kidney to increase blood volume
examples of antinatriuretic hormones
angiotensin II
aldosterone
if person has too much renin released they are
incresing sodium reabsorption, pressure will get higher
antiotensin II at level of adrenal gland, does what
increases release of aldosterone
hyperaldosterone can lead to
hypertension
aldosterone increases
sodium reabsorption, extracellular fluid volume, arterial pressure
hypertension itself will cause
renal damage
hypertension that causes renal damage is causing
more hypertension
diabetes causes renal
damage
