Q

What does 150 mmHG on the pressure diuresis curve refelect?

A

28
Q

What happens short term and long term with increased SVR?

A

Acute: Change in MAP
Chronic: MAP returns to normal, no change in SVR

29
Q

What will happen to the renal function curve if intrarenal vascular resistance is increased?

A

Shift of the renal function curve to the right which will result in a change in the baseline MAP; problem is change in renal vascular resistance not the change in overall SVR

30
Q

BeriBeri

A

body does not have enough thiamine (B1)

31
Q

Paget’s disease

A

involves abnormal bone destruction and regrowth, which results in deformity.

32
Q

What does renin start as?

A

Prorenin

33
Q

Where is prorenin produced/ stored?

A

Juxtaglomerular cells (walls of afferent arterioles) of the kidneys

34
Q

What causes the splitting of prorenin into renin?

A

Decrease in pressure

35
Q

Where is renin released?

A

Lumen of the afferent arterioles; circulates to the rest of hte body

36
Q

How long does renin remain in the blood?

A

30 to 60 minutes, where it acts on the plasma protein called renin substrate (angiotensinogen) to release angiotensin I

37
Q

What’s another name for renin substrate?

A

Angiotensinogen

38
Q

Angiotensin I

A

mild vasoconstrictor; produces minimal changes in vascular constriction

39
Q

Where is angiotensin I carried to?

A

Lungs

40
Q

What happens to angiotensin I when it is carried to the lungs?

A

ACE mediates formation of angiotensin II

41
Q

Where is ACE present?

A

Endothelial cells

42
Q

How long does angiotensin II persist before being deactivated by variety of blood/tissue enzymes known as angiotensinases?

A

Persists for 1-2 minutes

43
Q

Angiotensin II

A

potent vasoconstrictor of arterioles/ minor constriction of veins
Interacts w/ kidneys resulting in increasing salt and water reabsorption
Causes adrenal gland to secrete aldosterone

44
Q

What does aldosterone do?

A

Increases salt and water reabsorption

45
Q

What is the response time of the renin-angiotensin system vasoconstrictor?

A

20 minutes; will take secondary effect several days for maximal effect

46
Q

Is it easier to excrete water or salt?

A

Water

47
Q

What is the definition of hypertension?

A

MAP greater than 110 mmHg
Diastolic > 90 mmHg
Systolic > 135 mmHg

48
Q

Why does HTN shorten lifespan?

A

Excess workload on the heart
Damage to blood vessels of brain
Injury to kidneys

49
Q

What are the causes of HTN?

A

Volume loading
Renin-Angiotensin imbalance
Combination volume loading / vasoconstriction

50
Q

Types of HTN

A

Primary

Essential

51
Q

Goldblatt HTN

A

Renin-Angiotensin Imbalance
Only one kidney and it has a constriction of renal art.
Kidney senses decrease in pressure and renin/angio system stimulated

52
Q

Two-Kidney Goldblatt

A

HTN will occur even if one kidney normal, other kidney has obstruction of renal artery

53
Q

What will happen to the obstructed kidney in two-kidney Goldblatt?

A

Increases reabsorption of water and salt due to lower pressure in tubular capillaries; release renin resulting in overall increase in angiotensin ii and aldosterone

54
Q

What occurs with renal pressure in two-kidney goldblatt?

A

Normal in obstructed kidney
Higher than normal in non-obstructed kidney

B/c angiotensin ii will increase SVR and MAP

55
Q

What happens with salt and water reabsorption in two-kidney goldblatt?

A

Angiotensin ii and aldosterone will increase salt and water reabsorption for both kidneys

56
Q

What percent of HTN patients have essential HTN?

A

90-95%

57
Q

What is the cause of essential HTN?

A

unknown

58
Q

What are the symptoms of essential HTN?

A

Excess weight gain/ obesity account for large percentage of risk for developing HTN (65 - 75% )

59
Q

What is typically the first line of Tx in essential HTN?

A

Weight loss/ exercise

60
Q

What are the main characteristics of essential HTN?

A

Increased CO
Increased sympathetic activity (kidneys)
Increased levels of angiotensin ii and aldosterone
Impairment of renal function

61
Q

Why is there increased CO in essential HTN?

A

Support extra fat tissue

Support increased metabolic demand of major organs

62
Q

Why is there increased sympathetic activity of kidneys in essential HTN?

A

Hormone released from fat cells stimulate regions of hypothalamus that provide excitatory stimulation of vasomotor center

63
Q

How much are levels of angiotensin ii and aldosterone increased in obese patients?

A

2- 3x normal

64
Q

Why is there impairment of renal function in essential HTN?

A

Requires higher pressure to remove normal amounts of salt and water
Must give drugs that improve renal function, can’t just decrease MAP

65
Q

Tx for Essential HTN

A

Lifestyles modifications
Vasodilator drugs
Drugs that reduce reabsorption of salt and water

66
Q

What is the primary target of vasodilator drugs in essential HTN?

A

renal arterioles; inhibits sympathetic signals to kidneys, block sympthetic neurotransmitter on renal vasculature and renal tubules, direct relaxation of renal vasculature smooth muscle, block action of renin-angiotensin system

67
Q

Why do you tx essential htn with drugs that reduce resorption of salt and water?

A

Blocks active transport of sodium in tubules
