Q

Metabolic function of kidney ?

A
  1. Gluconeogenesis
  2. Transamination
  3. Deamination
20
Q

Substances completely reabsorbed by kidney ?

A

Completely reabsorbed: Glucose
Amino acid
Proteins
Vitamins
Acetoacetate ions

21
Q

Partially reabsorbed by kidney?

A

Partially reabsorbed:

Water & electrolytes
Keto acids
Urea
Uric acid
Na+,K+, Ca2+,Mg2+,PO4, HCO3-

22
Q

Substance not reabsorbed by kidney?

A

Inulin
Creatinine
Mannitol
Sucrose

23
Q

What is Myogenic mechanism in autoregulation of Renal blood flow?

A

Renal afferent arterioles contract in response to stretch . Thus increased renal arterial pressure stretches the arterioles , which contract and increase resistance to maintain constant blood flow.

24
Q

Most important buffer in blood ?

A

Bicarbonate buffer

25
Q

most important buffer in RBC?

A

Haemoglobin buffer

26
Q

Most important buffer in Plasma / ECF ?

A

Bicarbonate buffer

27
Q

Most important buffer in urine?

A

Ammonia buffer

28
Q

How kidney regulates acid base balance ?

A

Kidney regulates acid base balance by : 1.Secretion of H+
2. Reabsorption of filtered
HCO3
-3. Generation of new HCO3-

29

A
  1. Osmotic diuretic
  2. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
30
Q

Diuretics acting on Collecting tubule?

A
  1. Aldosterone antagonist
  2. Na+ channel blocker
31
Q

Diuretics acting on Early distal tubule ?

A

32
Q

Diuretics acting on Thick ALLH ?
