Renal Flashcards
What are the three effects of Angiotensin II?
- systemic vasoconstriction
- constriction of efferent arteriole
- Increased aldosterone synthesis
Concentration of tubular fluid in proximal tubule
isotonic with plasma (300 mosm/L)
Concentration of tubular fluid in descending loop of henle
Increasing (water permeable)
400-1200mOsm/L
Concentration of tubular fluid in ascending loop of henle
Decreasing (salt permeable)
1200-200mOsm/L
Lowest osmolality site in nephron, assuming low ADH
Distal convoluted tubule. Impermeable, so fluid stays hypotonic with increased reabsorption of solutes
When does ARPKD present?
At birth. In contrast, dominant form comes years later.
Urea acts on which segment of the collecting duct?
medullary segement to increase urea and water reabsorption
When does the pronephros degenerate?
4 weeks
Mesonephros
Functions as kidney for the first trimester
Metanephros appears wheN?
5th week of gestation. It becomes the permanent kidney
Ureteric bud comes from
caudal end of mesonephros
Ureteric bud gives rise to:
ureter, pelvises, calyces, collecting ducts
what interaction needed to form normal kidney
ureteric bud pokes the metanephric tissue
–induces metanephric tissue to format glomerulus to distal tubule
most common site of obstruction in fetus
ureteropelvic junction
Potter’s syndrome
Oligohydramnios–>
limb deformities
facial deformities
pulmonary hypoplasia
Causes of Potter’s
ARPKD
posterior urethral valves
bilateral renal agenesis
IF YOU CAN”T PEE in utero, you get potters
Horseshoe kidney assoc’d with
Turner syndrome
Nonfunctional kidney with cysts and connective tissue in utero. What caused this?
abnormal interaction btw ureteric bud and metanephros
Describe path of blood into the kidney
renal artery segmental artery interlobal artery arcuate artery interlobular artery
Which kidney do you harvest for donation?
Left kidney=it has a longer renal vein
ureters pass over/under the ductus deferens/uterine artery?
under
60-40-20 rule
60% weight is TBW
40% ICF
20% ECF
measure plasma volume
radiolabeled albumin
measure extracellular volume
inulin
what gives negative charge in GFR?
heparan sulfate
clearance eq:
C=UV/P
U=urine concenctration
V=urine flow rate
P=plasma concentration
how to calc GFR
clearance of inulin or creatinine
When is creatinine clearance not accurate for GFR?
When GFR is very low. will have higher concentration of creatinine in urine
Calculation for effective renal plasma flow (ERPF)
clearance of PAH
PAH=filtered AND secreted into the proximal tubule. all that enters the kidney is excreted
RBF=
RPF/(1-Hct)
–ERPF underestimates true RPF by 10%
Filtered load=
GFR*plasma concentration
NSAIDs
constrict afferent arteriole
ACE-I
dilate efferent arteriole
prostaglandins
dilate afferent arteriole
angiotensin II
constricts efferent arteriole
increased plasma protein
decrease GFR
decrease FF
constriction of ureter
decrease GFR
decrease FF
Hartnup’s disease
deficiency of tryptophan(neutral amino acid) transporter in proximal tubule. neutral AA excreted in urine.
results in pellagra
blood glucose level when glucosuria starts? max saturation?
160 mg/DL
350mg/DL
which part of nephron generates ammonia?
Prox tubule
PTH and ATII on prox tubule
PTH: inhibits Na/Phosphate cotransport
ATII: stimulates Na/H exchange=contraction alkalosis. Holding onto sodium at expense of alkalosis
What % Na absorbed at each nephron segment?
- Prox tubule=65-80%
- L of H=10-20
- DCT=5-10%
- 3-5%
Thick loop of henle
Na/K/2Cl resorption
- -paracellular resorption of Mg2+ and Ca2+
- -dilution of urine as it passes
What allows paracellular resorption in thick ascending limb?
potassium backleak.
DCT transporter
Na/Cl apical cotransporter
–urine becomes hypotonic
PTH effect on DCT
Stimulates Ca/Na Xchange on basolateral surface increasing Ca resorption
Thiazide mechanism
Blocks Na/Cl apical cotransporter
–>indirectly blocks Na/Ca2+ exchanger
Mechanism of amiloride/triamterene
Blocks ENaC channel in principal cell of CT
[Tubular Fluid]/[Plasma] ratio
If >1, solute is reabsorbed less quickly than water
If <1, solute reabsorbed more quickly than water
very high TF/P
PAH/creatinine/inulin
moderate TF/P
urea/Cl
TF/P=1
K/Na
TF/P <1
phosphorus
bicarb
TF/P «1
amino acids and glucose (virtually completely reabsorbed
Tx: hypovolemic hyponatremia
NS
tx: hypervolemic hyponatremia
Salt and fluid restriction, furosemide
Euvolemic hyponatremia
free water restriction (NOT hypertonic saline–otherwise will fluid overload them)
SIADH hyponatremia
do NOT give normal saline! will excrete sodium and retain water. Give convaptan and water restrict
when should you give hypertonic saline?
hyponatremia with NEURO deficits or seizures
Six effects of angiotensin II
- Vascular smooth muscle
- constricts efferent arteriole
- aldosterone
- ADH
- Increased prox tubule Na/H
- Stimulates hypothalamus
ADH regulates
osmolarity (except in extreme low blood volume)
Aldo regulates
blood volume
How do beta blockers decrease BP?
inhibiting B1 receptors on the JGA
How much K is reabsorbed along the nephron?
65% PCT
30% ascending L of H
5-100% at DCT
How does ANP work?
Increases Na filtration and GFR at PCT with no compensatory Na resorption distally.
–>Na and H2O loss
PTH effect on kidney
Increased Ca resorption (DCT)
Decreased PO4 resorption (PCT)
Increased activation of vitamin D
