Q

What are the genetic mutations in the thick ascending limb- what syndrome can this cause?

A
  • Bartter syndrome
    • depends on which genetic mutation for if it presents early or later in life
    • causes growth and mental issues
    • volume depletion
    • low blood pressure
    • hypokalemia
    • metabolic acidosis
    • hypercalciuria

Q

Describe the intercalated cell of collecting duct

A
  • Intercalated cell
    • H+ and HCO3- excretion
    • K+ reabsorption
17
Q

How much Na is reabsorbed in the collecting duct?

A
  • 0 to 5%
18
Q

What are the luminal transporters on the principle cell of the collecting duct?

A
  • ENAC - reabsorbs Na+
  • ROMK - lets K+ into lumen
19
Q

What are the basolateral transporters on the principle cell of the collecting duct.

A
  • K+ recycling channel
  • ATPase
  • aldosterone can bind to SRE
20
Q

What are the effects of aldosterone binding?

A
  • Sodium reabsorption
  • K+ excretion
21
Q

What does the sympathetic nervous system control?

What is it triggered by?

A
  • Stimulates sodium uptake in proximal tubule
    • increases Na-K ATPase
    • Increases Na-H antiporter
  • Controls afferent/efferent tone
    • REDUCES renal blood flow and GFR
  • Hypovolemia, Angiotensin II
22
Q

What are the 3 primary signaling pathways that stimulate renin release?

A
  • sympathetic input - NE triggers renin
  • decreased stretch in afferent arterole
  • decreased chloride delivery to macula densa
23
Q

What 5 things does angiotensin II do?

A
  1. systemic vasoconstrictor
  2. proximal tubule reabsorption of sodium and stimulates ENAC
  3. stimulates salt appetite, thirst in CNS
  4. stimualtes aldosterone
  5. increases sympathetic activity
24
Q

How does the amount of salt affect:

Creatinine clearance & sodium excretion

Plasma renin activity

Plasma Aldosterone

A
  • clearance = lower salt = lower clearance
    • more salt = higher clearance
  • renin
    • lower salt = more renin
  • Plasma aldosterone
    • low salt = more aldosterone
