Renal 6 Regulation of ECFV Flashcards
how is extracellular fluid volume controlled
altering the excretion of Na. ISOTONIC PROCESS= does NOT change the concentration of Na
What is the regulated variable in regulated variable in regulation of ECFV
vascular pressure which is sneced by the systemic and intrarenal baroreceptors
Vascular Low Volume sensors
Low pressure: Right atrium (release ANP) and Right ventricle (release BNP)
Vascular High Volume sensors
High Pressure: Carotic sinus, aortic arch, intrarenal baroreceptor (afferent arteriole)
Volume sensor in the brain
Hypothalamus
Volume sensor in the liver
Portal pressure
What occurs during Hypervolemia
Increased Effective circulating blood volume (ECBV) leading to 1.) decrease in RAAS 2.) increase in ANP, BNP, and Urodilatin 3.) Na and water excretion increase (but NO CHANGE IN OSMOLALITY)
What occurs during hypovolemia
decreased ECBV leading to 1.) Increased RAAS 2.) Increased Sympathetic activity (vasoconstriction of the afferent and efferent arterioles) 3.) Na and water excretion decrease (but NO CHANGE IN OSMOLALITY)
does osmolality change in the regulation of extracellular fluid volume
NO - isostonic - control Na secretion and water moves with it (therefore doesn’t change the concentration of Na)
What happens in Hypernatremia
OSMOLALITY ISSUE: Increased plasma Na leads to increased ADH release resulting in excretion of free water (PLASMA OSMOLARITY DECREASES)
What happens in Hyponatremia
OSMOLALITY ISSUE: Decreased plasma Na leads to decrease in ADH release resulting in excretion of free water (PLASMA OSMOLALITY INCREASE)
Volume regulation vs osmoregulation
Volume regulation: involves the control of Na excretion to regulate ECBV (ISOTONIC- does not change the concentration of Na) Osmoregulation: involed the controle of water excretion and water consumption through ADH/thrist mechanisms to regulate Na concentration
what is the primary stimuli for aldosterone release
1.) Angiotensin II (increased in hypovolemic states) 2.) Hypokalemia
secondary stimuli for aldosterone release
1.) Hyponatremai (weak stimulus) 2.) ACTH (weak stimulus)
What supresses the release of aldosterone
ANP, BNP, and dopamine - Note : Aldosterone also works to supress these factors. Without this mechanism ist would impair our ability to defend volume
Role of aldosterone in Na excretion
Increases Na reabsorption in principle cells of the collecting ducts causing 1) K secretion and excretion 2.) Cl reaborption 3.) H secretion
Aldosterone vs Na intake
decrease in Na intake causes renin and aldosterone to go up
Factors that affect Na exretion
1.) Aldosterone 2.) GFR 3.) Natriuretic factors 4.) Redistribution of Flow 5.) Norepinephrine and angiotensin II 6.) Pressure Natriuresis/Diuresis 7.) Physocal factors
What happens with increases in Na intake
1.) Increase urine Na 2.) Decrease plasma renin 3.) Decrease plasma aldosterone 4.) Increase ECBV
What happens with decreases in Na intake
1.) Decreased urine Na 2.) increased plasma renin 3.) increased plasma aldosterone 4.) Decreased ECBV
effect of changes in GFR on Na excretion
Changes in GFR change the filtered load of Na (and other solutes that are coupled to Na reabsorption) - Na reabsorption is load dependent thereofre increases in GFR increase Na excretion and decreases in GFR decrease Na excretion (glomerulotubular balance)
Atrial Naturetic Peptide (ANP)
Released from the myocytes in the right atria in response to stretch (hypervolemia) to cause afferent arteriolar vasodilation (increases GFR and decreases FF) Decreases peritubular capillary reabsorption (can lead to back leak) Ingibits Na reabsorption in the colletcing tubules causing diuresis and inhibits alsoderone secretion
