Q

How to calculate renal clearnace?

A

Cx (clearance of X)
Ux (urine concentration)
Px (plasma concentration)
V (urine flow rate)

If Cx < GFR (net resoprtion of X)
If Cx > GFR (net tubular secretion of X)
Cx = GFR no net secretion or absorption

How to calculate the volume ofplasma from which the substance is completely cleared per unit of time:

Cx= UxV/Px

Q

What is a normal GFR?

How is GFR affected by stages of the kidney disease?

A

Normal GFR is 100 ml/minute
Incremental reduction of GFR that define stages of chronic kidney disease

Note: creatinine clearance is an approximate measure of GFR (slightly overestimates GFR because creatinine is moderately secreted by renal tubules

Q

Syndrome of Apparent Mineralcorticoid excess?

A

Hereditary deficiency of 11B-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
(usually converts cortisol to cortisone)

Excess cortisol in the cells from enzyme deficiency

Increase mineralcorticoid receptor activity leading to HTN, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis

Treatment: corticosteroids —> decreases endogenous cortisol production and decrease mineralcorticoid activation

Cortisol tries to be the same as aldosterone

Q

Relative concentrations along proximal convoluted tubules?

A

Cl reabsorption occurs at a slower rate then Na+ in early PCT and then matches Na+ resoprtion more distally

Relative concentration increases before it plateaus.

Q

How does the Renin-Angiotensin-aldosterone system work?

A

renin secreted by the kidneys
Responsible for transforming angiotensinogen to angiotensin I

(ACE) produced by the lung and kidney to tranform angiotensin I to angiotensin II

Angiotensin II affects:
Vasoconstriction which increases the BP
Constricts efferent arteriole of glomerus (increases FF to preserve the renal function) in low volume states

Causes aldosterone secretion in the adrenal gland (increase Na2+ and Na/K) and creates a favorable gradient or Na+ and H20

Causes ADH secretion of the posterior pituitary:
Increases aquaporin (increases H2O resoprtion

Increases PCT absorption Na, HCO3 and H20 which can cause contraction alkalosis

Stimulates the hypothalamus leading to thirst
