Q

What is the role of the kidney?

A

1) Clearance: excretion of waste products of metabolism, drugs and toxin
2) Homeostasis: sodium/volume, water/osmolality, electrolytes, acid-base
3) Hemodynamic and endocrine: renin, erythropoeitin, 1, 25- vitamin D

Q

Balance what is in input, out and distribution

A

Input: Intake (enteric, IV) + production (catabolism generates H+).
Output: Excretion + consumption/destruction (metabolism + cellular growth)
Distribution: Intracellular/ extracellular shift and interstitial/ intravascular shift

Q

Sodium homeostasis key point

A

water follows sodium: changes in sodium homeostasis results in changes in body fluid volume not sodium concentration

17
Q

An increase of sodium intake will generally result in

A

net gain in bdy fluid (solute + water). ingestion/retention of proportional amount of water to maintain serum sodium concentration unchanged

18
Q

Sodium mode of reabsorption in loop of henle

A

35-40% Na+/K/2CL- co transporter. Flow dependent

19
Q

Sodium mode of reabsorption in distal tubule

A

5-8% Na+/Cl- co-transport, flow-dependent

20
Q

Sodium mode of reabsorption in collecting Tubule

A

2-3% Na+ Channels. Aldosterone, down-regulated by ANP

21
Q

Sodium is taken out by

A

NA/K+-ATPase 3 NA (out cell) and 2 K (in cell)

22
Q

Renin stimulated how (kidney endocrine function)

A

when reduced distal tubular flow indicated by fall in tubular Cl-, B-adrenergic sympathetic activity

23
Q

Renin effects

A

renin–> activated liver to Release angiotensinogen-> Angiotensin I (ACE from lungs convert it to ) Angiotensin II–> increase vascular tone (Ang II) and activates adrenal to release aldosterone, thus reduce Urine sodium. angII act in proximal and aldosterone in distal tubule

24
Q

Role of kidney in Erythropoeitin

A

stimulate erythroid progenitor in bone marrow to differentiate in RBC.

25
Role of kidney in calcitriol (active vitamin D)
Activates vitamin D in response to hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia. parathyroid/ PTH-->kidney and bones. In kidney changes calcidiol to active form in calcitriol Calcitrol increase small intestine reabsorption of calcium and mobilization of bone --> increase serum calcium
26
Clearance of waste is achieve by
generation of large volume of glomerular filtrate, of which almost all electrolytes and water are reabsorbed, leaving urine concentration in waste products (urea, creatinine)
27
Homeostasis is achieve by kidney by
selective reabsorption and secretion by the tubules of key substance such as sodium, water, potassium, bicarbonate/H+, calicum
