Q

What is the role of the principal cells in the collecting tubule?

A

Builds up (-) charge in lumen
- more Na+ in than K+ out

Q

Differentiate between the 2 types of K+ wasting diuretics

A

Some block NaCl
- Cl- leaves via paracellular route
Some block NaHCO3
- HCO3 can’t exit via paracellular route
- Drives increased K+ depletion

23
Q

Diuretics upstream result in excess ___ in CT

A

Na+

24
Q

Aldosterone is secreted by the ______

A

adrenal cortex

25
Q

What is the effect of aldosterone at the collecting tubule?

A

Increase Na+ and water reuptake (ENaC) - increasing BP and vol

26
Q

K+ sparing diuretics work by what MOA?

A
  1. Antagonize the effects of aldosterone - spironolactone
  2. Inhibition of sodium flux through ion channels in luminal membrane - amiloride
27
Q

K+ sparing diuretics are most useful in states of _____

A

mineralocorticoid excess - Conn’s syndrome, Ectopic ACTH production

28
Q

ADH (vasopressin) effects at the collecting duct

A
  • Increases water reabsorption
  • Adds preformed AQP2 to apical membrane
  • Increases blood volume
  • Makes more concentrated urine
29
Q

ADH agonist vs antagonist

A
  • Agonist: Vasopressin
  • Antagonist: Conivaptan
30
Q

What parts of the nephron are freely permeable to water?

A

PCT and descending loop

31
Q

_____ is used mainly to reduce intracranial pressure

A

mannitol
- also for rhabdomyolysis and radiocontrast agents

32
Q

Mannitol works by countering the _____

A

osmotic force - more urine ouput, less Na+ reabsorption

33
Q

What is the etiology and treatment for DI?

A

Insufficient ADH
Thiazide diuretics

34
Q

The hypertonic medullary interstitium is in the _____

A

descending loop of henle

35
Q

What are the uses for Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors?

Glaucoma
Alkalinization of urine
Metabolic alkalosis
Acute Mountain Sickness

36
Q

What is the loop diuretic that isn’t a sulfanamide?

A

Ethacrynic acid

37
Q

What are the 3 ways GFR is regulated?

A
  1. Adjust blood flow
  2. Alter capillary surface area
  3. Control arteriole diameter
38
Q

What are the steps that occur if GFR is increased?

A

GFR increased
1. Receptors - macula densa cells of JGA detect increased NaCl and water
2. Juxtoglomerular apparatus is the control center - decreased secretion of NO
3. Effectors - afferent arteriole decreases blood flow through the glomerulus
4. GFR decreased - back to homeostasis

39
Q

What are the actions of the nephron?

A
  1. Glomerular filtration
