Clearance

132
Q

How to calculate Clearance of x?

A

X = (excretion rate of x (mg/min)) / ([x]plasma (mg/mL plasma)), it gives mL/min

133
Q

For a solute that is cleared only by renal excretion, clearance is expressed as ?. Looks at blood cleared of solute rather than amount excreted.

A

the volume of plasma passing through the kidneys that has been totally cleared of that solute in a given period of time (usually a minute)

134
Q

Eg. 1 mg of solute Z in 100 ml of plasma, and you found 0.5 mg of Z appearing in the urine/ min, what is the clearance of Z?

A

Clearance of Z= (0.5mg/min) / (1mg/100ml) = 50 ml/min
The kidneys remove all of solute Z in a 50ml plasma sample in one minute

135
Q

To most accurately calculate GFR we need to look at the clearance of a substance that is freely filtered and neither ________ or _______.

A

reabsorbed, secreted

136
Q

________ clearance is also used as a measure of GFR

A

Creatinine

137
Q

Clinicians commonly use creatinine clearance as a measure of GFR and indicator of renal function: freely filtered by the glomerulus, but it is _______ in very small amounts as well

A

secreted

138
Q

Creatinine clearance slightly _________ GFR

A

overestimates

139
Q

Example: a person has a plasma creatinine concentration of 0.01mg/ml and an excretion rate of 1.25mg/min (urine samples over 24hrs), what is the clearance?

A

(1.25mg/min) / (0.01mg/mL) = 125mL/min

140
Q

Example: if plasma creatine = 1.8mg/100mL plasma, urine creatine = 1.5mg/mL urine, and urine volume is 1100mL in 24 hours, what is the creatine clearance? What is GFR?

A

Plasma creatinine: 1.8mg/100ml= 0.018mg/ml

Excretion rate: 1.5mg/ml x 1100ml in 24 hours = 1650mg/24 hrs = 1650mg/1440mins = 1.15 mg/min

GFR = (1.15 mg/min) / (0.018mg/ml) = 63.9 ml/min

141
Q

Clearance helps to determine net _____ ______

A

renal handling

142
Q

Once we know an individuals GFR we can look at their kidneys net handling of any solute by measuring the ?

A

solutes plasma concentration and excretion rate

143
Q

How would you calculate the Filtered load of X?

A

Filtered load of X = [X]plasma x GFR

144
Q

By comparing the filtered load (assuming the substance is filtered freely) with its excretion rate, we can tell ?

A

how the nephron handled that substance

145
Q

If less of a substance appears in the urine than was filtered, what occurred?

A

net reabsorption

146
Q

If more of a substance appears in urine than was filtered, what occurred?

A

net secretion

147
Q

If GRF = Clearance:

Filtered ? excreted
What is the renal handling?

A

Filtered = excreted
Filtered, not reabsorbed, not secreted

148
Q

If GRF > Clearance:

Filtered ? excreted
What is the renal handling?

A

Filtered > excreted
Filtered and net reabsorption

149
Q

If GRF < Clearance:

Filtered ? excreted
What is the renal handling?

A

Filtered < excreted
Filtered and net secretion
