Q

Renal formulas

A
CL=UV/P
GFR=UV/P (inulin or creatinine)
RPF=UP/V (PAH)
Filtration fraction=GFR/RPF
Filtered load=GFR*Px
Excretion rate=V*Ux
Reabsorption=filtered-excreted
Secretion=excreted-filtered

Q

effect of NSAIDS on kidney

A
inhibit PG (normally dilate afferent arterioles)
so constrict afferent arteriole:
decreases RBF and GFR, so FF stays the same
