Renal I-III Flashcards
1
Q
single nephron glomerular filtration rate
A
K(change in pressure - pi)
k = ultrafiltration coefficient
pi is difference in osmotic pressure
2
Q
proximal tubule
-What absorbed?
A
65% H20; most K; 65% Na+, 65% bicarb
urine here is iso-osmotic w blood
organic acids and bases are secreted actively into urine, esp highly PRO bound small molecules–2nd point of entry. Imp for renal elim of drugs
-driving force is the Na/K ATPase in basolateral surface of membranes
3
Q
loop of Henle
-What is absorbed?
A
H20 25%; no NaCl, no urea = thin descending limb
no H20, no urea, NaCl out = ascending limb
4
Q
vasa recta
A
descending absorbs NaCl from ascending loop of Henle
ascending absorbs H20 from descending loop of Henle
5
Q
macula
A
-specialized epithelial cells at the distal end of the ascending thick limb
-sense osmolality of urine
-if NaCl is too high, sends signal to afferent arteriole to reduce BF, drops GFR (tubuloglomerular feedback)
Na diuresis is self-limiting due to TGF
6
Q
distal convoluted tubule
A
actively transports out NaCl but not H20
fluid here is hypotonic urine, even when dehydrated
7
Q
collecting tubules
A
H20 out only if ADH present, highly dependent on NaCl concentration in medulla.
-urea out of distal collecting duct only, adds to medullary salt gradient
8
Q
diuretic
A
increases solute excretion to increase volume of urine
9
Q
aquaretic
A
increases excretion of h20 but not of solutes (dilute urine)
10
Q
natriuretic
A
inc. excretion of Na and CL ions
11
Q
saluretic
A
increases excretion of Na and Cl iones
12
Q
Kaliurietic
A
incr excretion of potassium
13
Q
acetazolamide
A
- carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
- acts on CA in lumen and cells of prox tubule (distal collecting duct is a secondary site of ax where acid secretion in inhibited)
- proximal tubule is the major site of bicarb reabsorption and acidification (net result: drives sodium bicarb out of urine, inhibitors leave na bicarb in urine)
- luminal pH increases, less H+ delivery to lumen.
- sulfanilamide drug
- K wasting due to high Na delivery to distal nephron
14

56
probenecid
uricosuric agent, increases renal excretion of uric acid
- biphasic effect: 1) causes decreased excretion of UA by blocking acid transport into the tubular lumen (proximal tubule)
2) once in the lumen, urance reabsoprtion is inhibited, resulting in increaed urate excretion
57
adverse effects of probenecid
well tolerated
increased risk for renal stones
interferes with renal excretion of many drugs
interfere with diuretics (loop/thiazide) by preventing transport into the tubular lumen
