Renal II Flashcards
why do we lose more K than Na
be the kidney has to exchange K to reabsorb Na and then try to recapture K
Where urea goes ____ also goes
water
without reabsorption how fast would we die?
2 hr
what drugs build up in patients with AKI or CKD?
morphine and pancuronium
bc they are cleared by kidney
where are drugs secreted on the nephron?
proximal tubule
is there only 1 nephron per collecting duct?
no multiple nephrons attach to one collecting duct
what does glomerulotubular balance accomplish?
minimizes the change in urine volume to prevent washout at increased GFR
how does high GFR stimulate more reabsorption
high GFR increased peritubular capillary oncotic pressure,
draws water towards it
what percent of the filtrate is always reabsorbed in the proximal tubule regardless of GFR?
67% of the filtrate
prevents large swings in urine volume and washout of the ECFV
what transporter is more important for Na and water reabsorb?
Na/K ATPase
between at PT interstitium side
how powerful are carbonic anhydrase inhibitors?
moderately
high distal flow rate = more or less K secretion?
more
tubular fluid/plasma concentration = 1
no reabsorption or secretion has occured in PT
OR
reabsorption of water has occurred at same rate in PT (Na)
tubular fluid/plasma concentration <1
more substance has been reabsorbed than water in the PT
AA, Glu, HCO3-
tubular fluid/plasma concentration >1
less substance has been reabsorbed than water in the PT
creatinine, urea, Cl
transport maximum (Tm or Tmax)
point at which increases in concentration of substance do not result in increase movement of substance across cell membrane
(it will not be reabsorbed thus excreted)
what is Tm determined by
saturation of limited number of transporters
filtered load equation
filtered load= P[conc] * GFR
do kidneys normally regulate plasma glucose?
NO
what is the main job/transporters in the descending LOH
concentrating segment
from 300- 600/1200
reabsorbs water AQP channels (regardless of ADH)
reabsorb/secrete urea
what do animals that survive in the desert have?
longer loops of henle
what does ADH do in the thick ascending limb of LOH
increase NKCC2 activity
what do you lose with Loop diuretics?
K and Calcium
VERY POWERFUL
what percent of reabsorb happens in proximal tubule
67%
what percent of reabsorb happens in thick ascending limb LOH
25%
what percent of reabsorb happens in distal tubule?
5%
what percent of reaborp happens in the distal cortical tubule/cortical collecting duct?
3%
