Renal and Acid-Base Physiology Flashcards
2/3 of TBW
intracellular fluid
K, Mg, protein and organic phosphates
1/3 of TBW
extracellular fluid
1/4 is plasma
3/4 is interstitial fluid
Marker for TBW
tritiated H2O, D2O
Marker for ECF
Sulfate, inulin, mannitol
Marker for Plasma
Radioiodinated serum albumin (RISA), Evans Blue
Interstitial Fluid marker
measured indirectly
ECF-plasma volume
Marker for ICF
measured indirectly
TBW-ECF
Infusion of isotonic NaCl - addition of isotonic fluid
isosmotic volume expansion
ECF volume increases but no change in osmolarity
Diarrhea - loss of isotonic fluid
isosmotic volume contraction
ECF volume decreases no change in osmolaritiy
Excessive NaCl intake - addition of NaCl
Hyperosmotic volume expansion
osmolarity of ECF increases and water shifts from ICF to ECF
ICF osmolarity increases until it equals that of ECF
sweating, fever, diabetes insipidus
hyperosmotic volume contraction
decrease in ECF, ICF volume and increase ECF osmolarity
SIADH
hyposmotic volume expansion
increase in ECF & ICF volume and decrease in ECF osmolarity
Adrenal Insufficiency
hyposomotic volume contraction
decrease in ECF volume, increase in ICF volume, ECF osmolarity is decreased
Clearance Equation
CL = (UV)/P
U is urine conc
V is urine vol/time
P is plasma conc
Vasoconstriction of renal arterioles on RBF
RBF will decrease
Low conc of Ang II
preferentially constricts efferent arterioles and increase GFR
ACE-inhibitors on GFR
dilate efferent arterioles thus decreasing GFR
Vasodilation of renal arterioles on RBF
increase in RBF, is produced by PGE2 and PGI2, bradykinin, NO and dopamine
Macula Densa
increases renal artery pressure leads to increased delivery of fluid to macula densa
increased load causes constriction of nearby afferent arteriole, increasing resistance to maintain constant blood flow
Measurement of renal plasma flow
clearance of PAH, it is filtered and secreted by renal tubules
RPF equation
Cpah = (Upah*V)/Ppah
Measurement of RBF
RBF = RPF/(1-Hb)
Measurement of GFR
clearance of inulin
Cin = (Uin*V)/Pin
BUN and serum [creatinine] increase
when GFR decreases
Filtration Fraction
FF = GFR/RPF
normal is ~0.20
increases in FF causes
increase in protein conc of peritubular capillary blood
increased reabsorption in proximal tubule
decreases in FF causes
decreases in protein conc of peritubular capillary blood
decreased reabsorption in proximal tubule
GFR Starling eqtn
GFR = Kf[(Pgc-Pbs)-(OSMgc-OSMbs)
Constriction of Afferent Arteriole (sympathetic)
decrease GFR, decrease RPF, no change in FF
Constriction of Efferent Arteriole (angII)
increase GFR, decrease RPF, increase FF
increased plasma [protein]
decrease GFR, no change in RPF, decrease FF
Kidney Stone
decrease GFR, no change in RPF, decrease FF
Filtered Load
GFR * [plasma]
Excretion rate
V * [urine]
Reabsorption rate
Filtered Load - Excretion Rate
Secretion Rate
Excretion Rate - Filtered Load
Splay (on Tm for glucose)
excretion of glucose before glucose is fully saturated
ususllay between 250 and 350
HA form predominates in which type of urine?
acidic urine
A- form predominates in which type of urine?
alkaline
How to excrete salicylate acid
increase excretion by alkalinizing the urine
compares the concentration of a substance in tubular fluid at any point along the nephron with the conc in plasma
Tubular Fluid/Plasma ratio
TF/P = 1
no reabsorption of substance or reabsorption of the substance is exactly proportional to the reabsorption of water
TF/P < 1
reabsorption of substance
TF/P > 1
secretion of substance
Reabsorbs 2/3 of 67% of filtered Na and H2O in nephron
Proximal Tubule
Isosmotic process in the renal tubules
in Proximal Tubules
