Renal Phys Flashcards
powerhouse of reabsorption
proximal tubule
what is reabsorbed in PT
100% glucose
65% h2O (iso-osmotic)
65% Na
80% HCO3
where does Vit D conversion & gluconeogenesis happen
Proximal tubule
what is always on basolateral side?
3Na/2K ATPase & K+ leak channels
Na+ transport in Proximal Tubule
Na/K ATPase on basolateral –> creates Na gradient that allows Na to be drawn in from lumenal side and powers other transporters (secondary) such as glucose, secrete H, AA, PO4
What increases action of Na/H pump in PT?
Want to INCREASE Na reabsorption <== SNS, AGII
Want to INCREASE H+ secretion <== low pH, Inc. CO2
How are amino acids transported in PT
w/ Na as it travels down its gradient (created by Na/K atpase)
how is H+ handled in PT?
Secreted in exchange for Na traveling down its gradient (created by Na/K atpase)
How is glucose handled in PT
w/ Na as it travels down its gradient (created by Na/K atpase)
SGLT 1 and 2
Then facilitated diffusion into PT capillaries
How is PO4 handled in PT
w/ Na as it travels down its gradient (created by Na/K atpase)
Then facilitated diffusion out of cell into PT capillaries
saturation point of Na/Glucose transporters
transport maximum (Tm) If reach, cannot reabsorb additional glucose --> urine (at 15 mM glucose)
How is chloride handled in PT
Transported in exchange for Formate which can make HF and diffuse in for recycling
H in lumen from Na/H antiporter
Cl leaves cell to PT capillaries via Cl or Cl/K+ fac. diffusion
ALSO PARACELLULAR
how is HCO3 handled in PT
reclamation
Diffuse in as CO2
CA –> HCO3 –> leave via Na/3HCO3 fac diffusion
H+HCO3 –> H2CO3 –> CO2 + H2O
H+ from Na/H antiporter
three reasons we need H in lumen from Na/H antiporter
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
how is water handled in PT
ISO-OSMOTIC
reabsorbed to follow solute via aquaporins and tight junctions (1/3)
how are WOA/WOB handled in PT
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)
polar substances in PT
Cannot diffuse in w/ water despite concentration gradient –> excrete
non-polar in PT
diffuse in w/ increasing gradient as water is reabsorbed
can make non-polar –> polar so we excrete them (drugs) = biotransformation in liver
Thick ascending LOH absorbs ____ % of filtered sodium
25%
Main transporter in thick ascending limb
NKCC2 (loop transporter)
Brings in K, Na, 2 Cl
K recycles via RomK
basolateral thick ascending limb LOH
KCl symporter
Cl (Barttin)
K leak channels
NaK ATPase
