Renal Embriology/ A&P High Yield Flashcards
What functions as an interim kidney for the 1st trimester?
Mesonephros
When does the metanephros begin to develop?
5th week of gestation
What does the ureteric bud give rise to?
Ureter, pelvises, calyces, collecting ducts
What results in congenital malformation of the kidney?
abberent interaction between the uteric buds and metanephric mesenchyme
What renal condition can cause Pooter sequence/ oligohydramnios?
ADPKD, renal agenesis, and obstructive and obstructive uropathy
“inferior poles of both kidneys fuse and get trapped under the IMA”
Horeshoe kidney
What chromosomal disorders are horseshoe kidney related to?
Edwards
Down
Patau
Turner
“bifurcation of ureteric bud before it enters metanephric blastema that leads to a Y shaped ureter”
Duplex collecting system
What congenital renal conditions leads to increased risk of RCC?
Renal agenesis
Which kidney is typically taken during a kidney transplant? Why?
The Left kidney due to its longer renal vein
Are ureters retro or intraperitoneal?
Retro
Does the ureter pass over or under the uterine artery and ductus deferens?
under (water under the bridge)
Where in the bladder are ureteral orifices?
Near the trigone of the bladder
The uterine vessels are in which ligament?
Cardinal ligament
How many liters is total body water (TBW) in a 70L person?
42L (60
How many liters in the ECF and ICF?
ECF (20%)= 14L
ICF (40%)= 28L
What is the volume of plasma volume?
3.5 L (25% of ECF)
What is the volume of interstitial volume?
10.5 (75% of ECF)
What 3 factors make up the glomerular filtration barrier?
Fenestrated capillary endotheium
Fused basement membrane with heparin sulfate
Epithelial layer consisting of poducyte foot processes
What is the equation for renal clearance?
Cx= UxV/ Px
Cx= clearance of X Ux= urine concentration of x Px= plasma concentration of x V= urine flow rate
How is GFR calculated?
GFR= clearance of inulin
Cin= UinV/ Pin
What lab value is an approximate measure of GFR?
Creatinine clearance
How is renal plasma flow calculated?
RPF= UpahV/ Pah
The clearance of PAH!
How is RBF calculated?
RBF= RPF/ (1- Hct)
How is PAH used to estimate RPF?
Because it is both filtered and secreted in the PCT–> near 100% clearance
How is filtration fraction calculated?
FF= GFR/ RPF
What is normal FF?
20%
What substance dilates afferent arterioles?
Prostaglandins
What preferentially constricts efferent arterioles?
Angiotensin II
