Renal Function - Pierce Flashcards
3 layers of the glomerular filtration barrier from capillary to bowmans capsule
- capillary endothelium (with glycocalyx -> sticks to - charge)
- Glomerular BM (3 layers to in, - charge proteoglycans)
- Podocyte epithelium (small pores up to 42Å)
layers of the Glomerular BM
- Lamina Rara Externa : proteoglycans - charge (NO PROTIEN)
- Lamina densa
- Lamina Rara Interna : proteoglycans - charge (NO PROTIEN)
what type of molecules get filtered though the glomerular barrier
HIGH : cations
medium or normal : neutral
LOW : Anions
Nephrotoxic Serum Nephritis
Disrupted Glycocalyx
= proteins can get through the barrier
= proteinuria
freely filtered molecules
water
small (glucose, aa, electrolytes)
what is not filtered
CELLS (RBC, WBC)
PROTIENS (large)
urinary excretion is what
Filtered + secreted - reabsorbed
what does Arterial input equal
Venous output + Urine output
Renal Clearance rate (Cx) is calculated how
Cx = (Ux)(V) / (Px) * accounts for substance in plasma and the urine V = urine flow rate Ux = concentration in urine
Urine Excretion Rate is calculated how
(Ux)(V)
V = urine flow rate
Ux = concentration in urine
how much does the glomerulus usually filter (GFR) in %
20% of the RBF
what is the normal GFR amount in ml/min
125ml/min
average amount reabsorbed from the filtrate
99%
FF (filtration fraction is calculated how)
FF = GFR/RBF
normal RBF is 625ml/min
what increases FF and what is the consequence
BP
increases FF = more proteins left behind = more capillary oncotic P = more reabsoption
as GFR increases
capillary oncotic P increases and reabsorption increases
Filtered load is what and how is it calculated
amount of a substance is filtered as a rate (mg/min)
= GFR x Pna
Filtered fraction is what
a percent of filtrate based on the whole (RBF)
when does Cx = GFR
renal clearance = GFR when substance calculated for is freely filtered
no reabsorption, no secretion, to toxin, not broken down in kidney
2 substances that filter freely
INULIN
Cr
how to use creatine to get GFR
measure plasma Cr level for 24hrs (Px)
measure urine Cr level for 24hrs (Ux)
measure amount peed for that time (V)
