    (add to 66% Na reabsorbed in PT)
  2. Na is reabsorbed IN EXCESS of water = JUST THE SOLUTE = INCREASES [H20]

A

paracellular Ca2+ transport can only work in Na/K/2Cl pump works

67
Q

Distal tubule key features

A
  1. reabsorbes about 5% of filtered sodium
    (add to 66% in PT, 25 in loop of henle, 20% in ascending limb!) by NA-CL PUMP
  2. tubular reabosroption of Na+ varies with Na+ delivery (limited if don’t have enough Na+)
  3. iMPERMEABLE TO WATER so contributes to URINARY DILUTION
  4. contribues to calcium reabsorption
68
Q

A

ALDOSTERONE

  1. increases activity of Na/K ATPase pump
  2. increases presence of ROMK channel
  3. occurs in normal or mildly elevated K+ (directly)

PTH

  1. directly release Ca++ from bones
  2. increase from kidneys
  3. activates increased absorption of Ca++ in gut

***increased angiotensin II activates increase in aldo

103
Q

clinical stimuli of hormones that stimulate K and Ca

A

HIGH K+ STATES/DIET: aldo secreted, also BK channels open (two channels facilitating excretion of K)

LOW K+ DIETS: limited stimulation of aldo, no activity of BK channel, limited/decreased presence ROMK

104
Q

actions of PTH on bone

A

b. stimulates bone reabsorption (preserve trabecular bone at expense of cortical bone)
* this DIRECTLY releases PO4- as well as Ca++

105
Q

actions of PTH on kidney

A

a. increased production of ACTIVATED VIT D
* this increases gut reabsorption of Ca++
b. increases Ca++ reabsoprtion
c. DECREASES renal PO4- absorption (INCREASES EXCRETION/SECRETION PO4-) –> activates make more vit D

106
Q

actions of PTH on intestines

A

a. increased activated VIT D from kidney –> ULTIMATELY increases gut reabsorption of Ca++

107
Q

cellular mech of Ca++ reabsorption

A

  2. stimulates more Ca channels to open (from lumen)
  3. Ca++ NEEDS TO BIND TO CALBINDIN
  4. Ca++ through calcium ATPASE
108
Q

difference between ROMK and BK channels

A

ROMK: ALDO increases presence RMOK
*inhibited by Mg++
BK: always there, not usually open
**ONLY OPEN WHEN HAVE LOTS K+ THAT NEEDS TO GET OUT (high K+ states = diets)

109
Q

clinical situation when ROMK channels present

A

–> ang II –> aldo –> ROMK –> K out to lumen

110
Q

clinical situation when BK channels present

A

d

***BK channels NOT present: low K+ diets

111
Q

clinical presentations/dz when all intracell K suddenly released

A
  • digitalis OD
  • rhabdomyalisis (breaks down SK muscle, which holds K+_ –> release K
  • crushed SK muscle
  • femoral clot –> opened –> K+ flooded = REPERFUSION = hyperkalemia –> renal failure
112
Q

control K by:

A
  1. distributing between spaces (hiding it)

2. control excretion

113
Q

factors that regulate the Na/K ATPase pump

A
  1. insulin (eat –> increase insulin –> activate pump –> increase K in)
  2. catecholamines
  3. plasma K
  4. exercise –> sudden increase K released from myocytes
  5. cell breakdown
  6. chronic diseases
114
Q

other factors that regulate K in short term

A
  1. plasma concentration: cellular uptake increased when serum K is up
  2. exercise: myocytes release K during exercise
  3. pH: increase in systemic H+ (metabolic acidosis) –> H+ into cells –> K+ out –> hyperkalemia
115
Q

sequelae of active reabsorption of K+ in alpha intercalated cell

A
  • K+ is exchanged for H+ ====> free floating H+ in lumen = ACIDIC PEE
  • lots of H+ must be processed reabsorb K+
  • also requires the reabsorption of bicarb!

= hard work to reclaim K+, has a price (acidic urine, increased HCO3-)

(separate from sensing Ca++)
- trashes bone --> increase Ca++ release
- increased PO4- excretion --> decreased [PO4-]
- increased gut absorption
- increased vit D
- serum [Ca++] high
123
Q

other reasons have increased Ca++, decreased PO4-, but normal/unchanged PTH

A
  • cancer (mimics PTH)

- granulomatous disease (converts + vit D –> so much calcium with elevated vit D) (eg sarcoidosis)
