How do you test efferent arteriole function?

47
Q

What is pre renal failure?

Low flow to kidney (BUN:Cr>20)

48
Q

What is renal failure?

A

Damage glomerulus (BUN:Cr <20)

49
Q

What is post renal failure?

A

Obstruction (havent peed in last 4 days)

50
Q

What is the job of the proximal tubule?

A

Reabsorb glucose, amino acids, salt, bicarb

51
Q

What is the job of the thin ascending limb?

A

Reabsorb water

52
Q

What is the job of the thick ascending limb?

A

Make the concentration gradient by reabsorbing Na, K, Cl, Mg, Ca without water

53
Q

What is the job of the early distal tubule?

A

Concentrate urine by reabsorbing NaCl (hypotonic)

54
Q

What is the job of the late distal tubule?

A

Final concentration of urine by reabsorbing water, excretion of acid (isotonic)

55
Q

What does the macula densa do?

A

Measures osmolarity

56
Q

What does the J-G apparatus do?

A

Measures volume

57
Q

What is Fanconi’s syndrome?

A

Old tetracycline use => urine phosphates, glucose, amino acids

58
Q

What is Bartter’s syndrome?

A

Baby w/ defective triple transporter (low Na, Cl, K w/normal BP)

59
Q

What is Psychogenic polydipsia?

A

No concentrating ability -> cerebral edema

60
Q

What is hepatorenal syndrome?

A

High urea from liver -> increase glutaminase -> NH4 -> GABA -> kidney stops working

61
Q

What is. Type1 RTA?

A

Distal renal tubular acidosis: H/K in CD is broken -> high urine pH (UTI, stones, Li)

62
Q

What is type 2 RTA?

A

Proximal RTA:bad CA-> lost all bicarb -> low urine pH (multiple myeloma)

63
Q

What is type 3 RTA?

A

RTA I + RTA II -> normal urine pH (5-6)

64
Q

What is type 4 RTA?

A

Infarct J-G -> no renin -> no Aldo -> high k (DM, NSAIDs, ACE I, Heparin)

65
Q

What is Central pontine myelinolysis?

A

Due to correcting Na faster than 0.5mEq/hr
