Renal Clearance- Weber Flashcards
amount of substance entering an organ = amount of substance leaving organ (assuming substance is not synthesized or degraded by organ)
Fick principle
what % of plasma is filtered in Bowman’s capsule
20%
main region where reabsorption takes place
PCT into peritubular capillaries
filtration-reabsorption+secretion=
excretion (urine sample)
substance freely filtered only
inulin
substance freely filtered and partially reabsorbed
Na+
substance freely filtered and completely reabsorbed
glucose
substance freely filtered and not reabsorbed; partially secreted into tubules
PAH
a way of quantifying renal handling of a substance
clearance
often used to evaluate renal function
renal clearance
the more particles that end up in urine from plasma= the more plasma that is _____ of the substance
cleared
Substances with the ______ renal clearances may be completely removed on a single pass of blood through the kidneys
highest
the _____ the renal clearance, the more plasma that is cleared of a substance
higher
Substances with the _____ renal clearances are not removed at all
lowest
[Ux (urine concentration) * V (urine volume)]/Px (plasma concentration of substance)
renal clearance
this is measured by the clearance of a glomerular marker
GFR (glomerular filtration rate)
gold standard marker for GFR
inulin
this substance is freely filtered and neither reabsorbed nor secreted
inulin
all the inulin that is filtered will end up where?
in urine (so can take urine sample)
this substance is used clinically to estimate GFR
creatinine
if GFR decreases, _____ creatinine doubles
plasma
filtration fraction=
GFR/RPF (renal plasma flow)
