Q

Where is the macula densa? JG cells?

A

Macula densa are cells w/in DCT

JG cells are modified SmM of aff art, make connection w/ DCT and macula densa

Q

GFR =

- Cr over or underest’s GFR?

A

use inulin:
GFR = CL(inulin) = UV/P, where U is the urine conc of inulin, P is the pl conc of inulin, and V is the urine flow rate
- slightly overest’s bc is secreted

Q

ERPF =
RBF =

Is ERPF really RPF?

A

use PAH for est’d renal pl flow bc all PAH that enters kidneys is excreted:
ERPF = UV/P = CL of PAH
- RBF = RPF / (1-Hct)
- no, ERPF underest’s true RPF by about 10%

Q

What effect do PGEs and ATII have on FF?

A

PGEs don’t affect FF bc they incr RPF -> incr’d GFR

ATII incr’s FF bc decr RPF -> incr’d GFR

Q

What effect do NSAIDs and ACEIs have on FF?

A

NSAIDs constric aff art (prevent dilation) -> decr’d RPF and GFR -> no change in FF
ACEIs dilate eff art (prevent constriction) -> incr’d RPF and decr’d GFR -> decr’d FF
