Renal Flashcards
Where in the kidney is glucose, bicarb, AA and metabolites reabsorbed?
PCT
What does the MeSonephros become?
CRUMS
(urinary system OUT of kidney)
- collecting duct
- renal pelvis
- ureters
-major/minor calyces
What does the MeTanephros become?
“Renal Parenchyma” or “Kidney Proper”
- glomerulus
- PCT
- Loop of Henle
- DCT
- Collecting Tubule
What structure can connect the umbilicus and the bladder; sometimes has discharge leaking from it in children?
patent urachus
What structure is due to a failure to close the distal part of the urachus; leads to periumbilical tenderness and purulent discharge?
urachal sinus
Formula and Indicators for TBW
TBW= ICF + ECF
Indicators: D2O
Formula and Indicators for ECF
ECF = plasma + interstitial fluid
Indicators: Mannitol and Inulin
What type of channels does ADH act on?
aquaporin channels in the collecting duct
MOA of ADH
- Increase H2O reabsorption in CT
- Decrease Urine Volume
- Increase Urine Specific Gravity
What is Angiotensin II’s affect on GFR?
increases GFR
MOA of aldosterone
Acts on the Na+/K+ pumps in the DCT
- Increases Na+ absorption (water follows)
Describe what happens in SIADH (urine vs. plasma)
- too much ADH
- very concentrated urine
- dilute plasma (hyponatremia)
Describe what happens in Aldosterone deficiency (urine vs. plasma)
- no aldosterone; hyponatremia
- lots of urine with Na+ following
What is the affect of B-blockers and Digoxin on Potassium?
Increased K+
What is the affect of B-agonists on K+?
Decreased K+
Hyper_____ can cause muscle cramps or rhabdomyolysis.
Hyperkalemia (if K+ too high)
*also can cause muscle weakness if K+ too low
_____ in the urine, can bind to Ca2+ and help to decrease the risk for calcium kidney stones.
Citrate
Formula for Renal Clearance
Concentration = [Urine Osm x Urine Flow Rate] / Plasma Osm
Name the indicator used for GFR
Inulin or Creatinine clearance
Constriction of Afferent Arteriole does what to GFR?
- decreased GFR
due to activation of renal sympathetic nerves
What affect does ANP have on GFR?
- increased GFR
- DECREASES
Renin, AT II, Aldo, NaCL, and ADH
Describe the Changes in RPF, GFR and FF
- NSAIDS
Increases Prostaglandins Dilate the Afferent Arteriole
- Increase RPF
- Increase GFR
- FF remains Constant
Describe the Changes in RPF, GFR and FF
- ACE Inhibitor
Angiotensin II Constricts the Efferent Arteriole
- Decrease RPF
- Increase GFR
- Increase FF
Describe the Changes in RPF, GFR and FF
Afferent Arteriole Constriction
- Decrease RPF
- Decrease GFR
- FF remains constant
Formula for Filtration Fraction
GFR/RPF
