Quiz 9: Neprology Flashcards
What is the purpose of the glomerulus with Bowman’s Capsule:
- filtration
- 25% of plasma that arrives here passes through the filtration barrier to become filtrate
What is reabsorbed out of the proximal tubule:
- NaCl (majority)
- Glucose
- potassium,
- amino acids,
- bicarb,
- phosphate,
- protein,
- urea,
- water (follows NaCl)
What is secreted into the proximal tubule:
- Hydrogen
- Foreign substances
- Organic anions
- Cations
T/F: The proximal tubule is isotonic:
TRUE
Which diuretic works at the proximal tubule:
- CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS
- OSMOTIC
-Is the proximal tubule:
a. Isotonic
b. hypotonic
c. hypertonic
-Isotonic
What is reabsorbed in the descending loop of Henle:
-water
What stays inside the tube at the descending loop of Henle:
-NaCl
The think ascending loop of Henle is permeable to water:
FALSE (It is IMpermeable to water)
What is reabsorbed in the thick ascending loop of Henle (ascending loop in the notes?):
-NaCl
What stays within the thick ascending loop of Henle (ascending loop in the notes?):
-H2O
What is the active transport system in the thick ascending loop:
-sodium potassium pump and cotransport
1 sodium, 2 chloride, 1 potassium
Is the loop of henle:
a. isotonic
b. hypertonic
c. hypotonic
All the above.
What diuretic works at the Loop of Henle:
LOOP DIURETICS
It really looks like it works at the thick ascending limb
What is reabsorbed in the distal tubule:
- NaCl
- Water
- bicarb
What is secreted in the distal tubule:
- Potassium,
- Urea
- hydrogen
- NH3
- Some medications
What is required for water to be reabsorbed at the DISTAL TUBULE:
-ADH required
Is the distal tubule:
a. isotonic
b. hypertonic
c. hypotonic
- isotonic
- hypotonic
What is reabsorbed in the collecting duct:
- water
- NaCl
T/F: Anti-diuretic hormone is needed for water to be reabsorbed in the collecting ducts:
TRUE
What can either be reabsorbed or secreted in the collecting ducts:
- Na
- K
- H
- NH3
What diuretic works at the DISTAL TUBULE:
-Thiazides
What diuretic works at the COLLECTING DUCT:
-Anti diuretic hormone (Aldosterone)
How is chronic kidney disease defined:
> 3 months
- structural or functional abnormalities with or without decrease in GFR
- GFR < 60 ml/min with or with OUT kidney damage
List the chronic kidney disease stages:
STAGES:
1: Damage with nml or inc GFR: GFR > 90 ml/min
2: Damage with mild dec GFR > 60-89 ml/min
3: Moderate dec GFR 30 - 59 ml/min
4: Sever dec GFR: 15 - 29 ml/min
5: kidney failure: GFR < 15 ml/min
6: DIALYSIS
Where do potassium sparing diuretics work:
DISTAL TUBULE
Where do xanthines work:
PROXIMAL TUBULE
List the carbonic anhydrase inhibitors:
- Methazolamide
- Acetazolamide
- Dichlorophenamine
What is the mechanism of action for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors:
- Inhibits carbonic anhydrase which inhibits H+ secretion in the proximal tubule
- Bicarb and sodium are blocked from re-absorption
- The effect is short lived due to compenstion at loop of Henle
What are the uses of carbonic acid inhibitors:
- altitude sickness
- increase interocular pressure
- Decreased formation of CSF
- Management of familial periodic paralysis
- Metabolic acidosis may stimulate ventilation in patient who are hypoventilating as a compensatory response to metabolic alkalosis
What may be a draw back to using acetazolaminde for an increase respiratory drive:
-the loss of bicarbonate ions necessary to buffer CO2 may result in the exacerbation of respiratory acidosis in patient with chronic COPD, leading to CNS depresssion
What are the side effect of carbonic acid inhibitors:
- blurred vision
- changes in taste
- constipation
- drowsiness
- frequent urination
- loss of appetite
- N/V
List the osmotic drugs:
- Mannitol
- Urea
What is the method of action of osmotic drugs:
- Non-reabsorbable solute filtered freely at the glomerulous. Uncouples sodium and water reabsorption by increasing the osmotic gradient in the proximal tubule. Sodium reabsorption initially, but water is not, leading to decreased sodium reabsorption distally
What do osmolarities does osmotic alter:
- plasma
- glomerular filtrate
- renal tubular fluid
Osmotic increase the excretion of:
- water
- sodium
- chloride
- bicarbonate ion
T/F: Urinary pH is not altered by mannitol-induced osmotic diuresis:
TRUE
