Q

three reasons we need H in lumen from Na/H antiporter

A
secrete H (low pH or high CO2)
need H+ and Formate --> HF to diffuse into cell for Cl- reabsorption in exchange for formate (recycling)
need H+ +HCO3 to let CO2 into cell --> HCO3 reclamed

Q

how are WOA/WOB handled in PT

A

only in PT usually
Most you cannot lose, some you can - most freely filtered

neutral/negative enter w/ Na
cations enter uniporters driven by negative membrane potential
some secreted (specific transporter on basolateral side)

Q

non-polar in PT

A

diffuse in w/ increasing gradient as water is reabsorbed

can make non-polar –> polar so we excrete them (drugs) = biotransformation in liver

23
Q

Regulation of NKCC2

A

Upregulated by AGII and ADH (not ever downregulated)

24
Q

Bartter syndome

A

Genetic mutation in any of transporters in TAL LOH (NKCC2, RomK, Barttin Cl)
Growth/mental Retardation, volume depletion w/ low blood pressure, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, normal or elevated calciuria

25
Q

26
Q

27
Q

DCT basolateral side

A

28
Q

7-10% reabsorption

29
Q

Gitleman Syndrome

A

Defect in NCC (NaCl) channel in DCT

Normal blood pressure, metabolic alkalosis, hypocalciuria, hypomagnesiumia, hypokalemia

30
Q

drugs in DCT

A

thiazide diuretics inhibit NCC channel in DCT

31
Q

two primary types of cells in connecting segment and collecting duct

A

principal - salt, chloride reabsorption and potasisum excretion
intercalated - H and HCO3- excretion and K reabsorption

32
Q

% sodium reabsorption in CD

A

0-5% (Variable due to regulation of ENaC!)

33
Q

Main transporter in CD

A

ENaC (Na in –> electrogenic forces push K+ out of RomK)

34
Q

Regulation of ENaC

A

Aldosterone binds SRE –> inc. genetic expression –> inc. ENaC activity

triggered by low Na, high K

35
Q

Little syndrome

A

Inc. ENaC –> high Na –> HTN and low K (K wasting)

36
Q

Type 1 Pseudohypoaldosteronism

A

Dec. ENaC –> high aldosterone but low ENaC –> lose Na

37
Q

SNS effect in renal sodium handling

A

Stimulate Na Uptake in PT (inc. NaK ATPase, inc. Na/H antiporter)
Control AA/EA tone to reduce renal blood flow and GFR

triggered by hypovolemia, AGII

38
Q

Renin effect in renal sodium handling

A

Renin –> AGI –> AGII –> Aldosterone

Aldosterone inc. ENaC
AGII many effects

triggered by SNS (NE), decreased stretch in AA, decreased Cl to Macula densa

39
Q

AGII actions

A
systemic vasoconstrictor
stimulate PT reabsorption (NaK atpase and NaH antiporter)
inc. ENaC (via aldosterone?)
Stimulate salt, thirst
Stimulate aldosterone
inc. SNS activity
40
Q

macula densa detects _____ and _____

A

flow and chloride

41
Q

macula densa if increased flow

A

inc. GFR - increased filtration and more chloride delivery - reduce renin release

42
Q

macula densa if decreased flow

A

decreased flow, decreased chloride delivery = not enough sodium or GFR too low –>

1) Prostaglandin release
2) Renin release triggering RAAS

43

45
Q

How does aldosterone work with High K

A

Inc. ROMK, inc. BK (mass secretion of K) but no increase in ENaC (so not huge Na reabsorption)

46
Q

How does aldosterone/AGII work with normal K but very low Na/volume

A

inc. ENaC but AGII blocks RomK so don’t lose a lot of K

47
Q

A

Type A/B intercalated cell

reabsorbed via H+/K+-ATPase (antiporter)
upregulated in metabolic acidosis!

reabsorbing K+ requires secrete H, reabsorb HCO3
