Renal I-III Flashcards
single nephron glomerular filtration rate
K(change in pressure - pi)
k = ultrafiltration coefficient
pi is difference in osmotic pressure
proximal tubule
-What absorbed?
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
loop of Henle
-What is absorbed?
H20 25%; no NaCl, no urea = thin descending limb
no H20, no urea, NaCl out = ascending limb
vasa recta
descending absorbs NaCl from ascending loop of Henle
ascending absorbs H20 from descending loop of Henle
macula
-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
distal convoluted tubule
actively transports out NaCl but not H20
fluid here is hypotonic urine, even when dehydrated
collecting tubules
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
diuretic
increases solute excretion to increase volume of urine
aquaretic
increases excretion of h20 but not of solutes (dilute urine)
natriuretic
inc. excretion of Na and CL ions
saluretic
increases excretion of Na and Cl iones
Kaliurietic
incr excretion of potassium
acetazolamide
- 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
acetazolamide effects on excretion: Na K H Ca/Mg Cl HCO3 H2P04
Na: inc (5%) K: incr x 2 H+: decrease Ca/Mg no effect Cl: NA HCo3/h2po4: increased x 2
any mechanism that increases ______ to distal tubules increases K excretion
Na delivery
indications for rx with acetazolamide
CA inhibitor
- open angle glaucomea
- pre surg relief of glaucoma pressure
- altitude sickness relieved temporarily by lower Co2 in blood/brain and metabolic acidosis
- counteracting diuretic induced metabolic alkalosis (low eff as a single agent diuretic)
adverse reactions to acetazolamide
CA inhibitor
- allergies (sulta drugs)
- metabolic acidosis
- diversion of renal ammonia into cirulation that can worsen hepatic encephalopathy (d/t alkaline urine, ammonia not secreted)
- kidney stones from alkaline urine
- BM depression, paresthesias, tingling
gylerin action
- act on tissues by drawing water into blood
- act on kidney by inc renal BF (by decreasing viscosity, inc rate passing through glomerulus) and washing out medullary salt gradient
- primary site of action in loop of henle
- secondary site is prox convoluted tubule where water efflux is inhibited by osmotic gradient
- K wasting diurectics
osmotic diuretic effect on: Na K Ca Mg H Cl HC03 h2p04 uric acid
glycerin effect on: Na incr x 2 K increased Ca inc Mg inc x 2 H NA Cl inc HC03 inc h2p04 inc uric acid inc
mannitol action
- act on tissues by drawing water into blood
- act on kidney by inc renal BF (by decreasing viscosity, inc rate passing through glomerulus) and washing out medullary salt gradient
- primary site of action in loop of henle
- secondary site is prox convoluted tubule where water efflux is inhibited by osmotic gradient
- K wasting diurectics
indications for osmotic diuretics
(mannitol, glycerin)
- ARF
- ATN
- dialysis disequilibrium syndrome resulting from too rapid removal of solutes during dialysis
- acute glaucoma to reduce IOP
- mannitol and urea are used pre-op and post op for neurosur to reduce brain swelling (contraindicated in bleed, will worsen swelling)
osmotic diuretics adverse reactions
glycerin, mannitol
- can convert pulmonary congestion to pulm edema
- hyponatremia
- hyponatremia and dehydration
- contraindicated in anuria, impaired liver fxn (can’t get rid of it)
- mannitol/urea contraindicated in active intracranial bleed
- glycerin is metabolized and could cause hyperglycemia
