Midterm III Flashcards
What is high BP for pregnant women called?
Eclampsia
What is vasculitis at the capillary level?
Goodpasture Syndrome
What type of vascular disease is associated with Lupus?
vasculitis
What is the tube in which the urine drains from the nephron?
calyx
Where do the renal calyces drain?
renal pelvis
What are the six major functions of the kidney?
- Keep stuff in body
- Get rid of unwanted stuff from body
- Control BP
- Control plasma osmolarity
- Control pH
- Endocrine
What are the endocrine responsibilities of the kidney?
- Renin secretion (inc BP)
- Production of Angiotensin II
- Activates vitamin D
- EPO (RBC production)
What is the type of nephron for the short loop of Henle?
Cortical nephron
What is the type of nephron for the long loop of Henle?
Juxtamedullary nephron
What arteries/capillaries control the blood flow to the kidney?
- Afferent arteriole
2. Peritubular capillaries
What are the peritubular capillaries of the juxtamedullary nephrons called?
vasa recta
What is the amount of a substance removed by the kidneys per unit time called?
clearance
What are the reasons that finding the clearance of the kidney is useful?
- Determine how a substance is handled
- Renal function (if damaged)
- Pharmacokinetics
Does glucose exhibit a net reabsorption or secretion?
resabsorption
Does tetracycline exhibit a net reabsorption or secretion?
secretion
What goes into the blood from the kidney and has a large number of phosphates? 1. When is this a problem? 2
- creatinine
2. diabetes
When does the Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) increase?
when filtration decreases because it is not being cleared
What is the ratio of BUN a indicator of?
disease
What tells the corpuscle how much to filtrate? 1. What is this process called? 2. What are the mechanisms for doing this? 3
- macula densa
- tubuloglomerulo feedback (TGF)
- myogenic stretch and TGF
What does constriction of the afferent arteriole do to the GFR?
decrease
An increase in GFR causes an increase in 1 in the DCT. The macula densa senses this and secretes 2 which causes 3 of the afferent arteriole smooth muscle.
- Cl-
- adenosine
- vasoconstriction
When is cNOS present?
- shear stress
- adenosine
- Bradykinin, Substance P
When is iNOS present?
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)
When is there low NO?
damaged endothelium caused by age, smoking, aging, or cholesterol
An decrease in GFR causes an increase in 1 in the DCT. The macula densa senses this and secretes 2 which causes 3 of the afferent arteriole smooth muscle.
- Cl-
- PGE2
- vasodilation
What drives Ca2+ reabsorption in the DCT?
repulsion from positive lumen due to K+
What if the function of the potassium balance in the kidney?
Affects resting membrane potentials of all excitable cells
What are the drugs and pathologies that cause hyperkalemia?
- Necrosis
- Type 1 DM
- Beta 2 Antagonists
- Acidemia
