renal Flashcards
pronephros degenerate when
week 4
mesonephros contribute to
male genital system
when do mesonephros function
function as kidney for 1st trimester
when do metanephros appear
5th week
where is the ureteric bud derived from
caudal end of mesonephric duct
by what week is the ureteric bud / collecting system fully canalized?
10th week
what does the ureteric bud give rise to
ureters
pelvis
calyces
collecting ducts
interaction between mesonephros (ureteric bud) and metanephric mesenchyme leads to formation of what
glomerulus through DCT
what is last to be recanalized
ureteropelvic junction
what is the most common site of obstruction + hydronephros in fetus
ureteropelvic junction because it is the last to recanalize
most common cause of death in fetus with potter sequence
respiratory failure due to pulmonary hypoplasia
multicystic dysplastic kidney occurs because of what
abnormal interaction between urereteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme
what causes potter sequence
oligohydramnios due to failure of ureteric buds to develop
what rib injury could damage kidney
11 or 12
what kidney is taken during donor transplant and why
left because it has a longer renal vein
macula densa cells live inside what part of kidney
DCT
what cells secrete renin
juxtaglomerular cells
what charge do glomerular basement membranes have and why
negative to prevent proteins from escaping
what do the ureters pass under in females
uterine artery
what do the ureters pass under in males
vas deferens
where do JG cells live
in the afferent arteriole
what spinal level are the kidneys at
T12 through L3
what kidney is larger
left
where is the location of the kidneys in relation to one another
right kidney is lower and `more lateral than the left due to the liver
what molecule can approximate plasma volume
albumin
what molecule can approximate extracellular volume
inulin
how much of body weight is fluid
60%
how much of body fluid is ECF
20%
how much of body fluid is ICF
40%
How much of ECF is plasma volume
25%
how much ECF is interstitial fluid
75%
what makes basement membrane negatively charged
heparan sulfate
what is the size barrier in glomerulus
fenestrated capillary endothelium
renel clearance equation
C=UV/P
what substances predict GFR
inulin and creatinine
normal GFR
100 mL/min
if creatinine is used to estimate GFR, is it accurate?
slightly overestimates GFR
relationship between GFR and creatinine
every time GFR is cut in half, creatinine doubles
RPF is estimated by
PAH
eRPF underestimates RPF by how much
10%
RBF equation in terms of hematocrit
RPF/1-Hct
FF equation
GFR/RPF
normal FF
20%
filtered load equation
GFR x plasma concentration
excretion rate equation
E=UV
reabsorption equation
R= filtered - excreted
secretion equation
S= excreted- filtered
at what glucose level does glucosuria start
200 mg/dL
at what glucose level are all the glucose transporters saturated
375 mg/dL
hartnup inheritance
autosomal recessive
hartnup etiology
deficiency of neutral amino acid transporters in the PCT and on enterocytes = lose tryptophan –> niacin deficiency –> pellagra
