Q

renal threshold occurs at…

A

transport max

17
Q

glycosuria or glycosuria

A
  • glucose appearing in urine
  • occurs with elevated blood glucose
  • rare genetic disorder with reduced transporters
18
Q

secretion

A

transfer of molecules from the ECF into the lumen of the nephron

19
Q

organic anion transporters

A

tertiary active transport; broad range of products transported

20
Q

alpha-hetoglutarate (aKG)

A

by-product of the citric acid cycle

21
Q

probenecid

A

preferentially secret by the OAT transporter so it was given with penicillin to allow penicillin to stay in the body longer

22
Q

excretion=

A

filtration-reabsorption+secretion

23
Q

How do we directly look at filtration, reabsorption and secretion at the level of an individual nephron?

A

experimentally and analysis of urine and blood

24
Q

clearance

A

rate at which solute disappears from the body by excretion or metabolisms; noninvasive way to measure GFR

25
clearance of X =
(mg/min)/(mg/mL)
26
To most accurately calculate GFR we need to look at the clearance of...
a substance that is freely filtered and neither reabsorbed or secreted
27
creatinine
commonly used to measure GFR and indicator of renal function
28
net reabsorption
If filtration is greater than excretion
29
net secretion
If excretion is greater than filtration
