Q

renal cells that make EPo

A

interstitial fibroblasts

22
Q

Which cells secrete renin?

A

JGA smooth muscle

23
Q

three embryological remnants connect to bladder apex

A

mediaN, mediaL, & lateral umbilical ligaments

24
Q

3 stimuli for renin production

A

Dec RBP
Dec NaCL to DCT sensed by macula densa
Inc sympathetic tone

25
Q

ACE inhibitors for HTN

A

decrease angiotensin sympathetic activity

26
Q

Ph buffers are most effective within

A

1.0 pH unit of the pKa

27
Q

Angotensin II ↑ Na/H ex & HCO3- reabs

A

PCT

28
Q

ACE inhibitors for CHF

A

dec aldosterone –> dec intravascular volume

29
Q

ACE inhibitors examples

A

captopril, enalapril, lisinopril

30
Q

What determines reabsorption of water at the thin descending loop of Henle?

A

medullar hypertonicity & impermeability to Na+ –> passive reabsorption

31
Q

3 toxicities of spironolactone

A

hyperkalemia, gynecomastia, antiandrogen effects

32
Q

Reabsorption of filtered bicarb in PCT is directly coupled to renal H secretion via the action of

A

carbonic anhydrase & the Na/H+ antiporter.

33
Q

How do renal PCT cells create a low intracellular Na+ (gradient)?

A

Na/K ATPase on the basolateral membrane extrudes Na from renal tubular cells into the interstitium,

34
Q

Low intracellular Na facilitates movement of H into the renal PCT movement via

A

NA/H antiporter

35
Q

PCT luminal H+ may combine with HCO3- via XXX

A

luminal carbonic anhydrase, located in the brush border of the PCT

36
Q

CO2 in PCT lumen diffuses into PCT cell, where it is converted by

A

intracellular carbonic anhydrase back into H+ and HCO3-

37
Q

PCT intracellular bicarb is transported through the BL membrane back into IF (–> blood) by

A

???? I DON”T KNOW!!

38
Q

For each HCO3- filtered in the PCT, one XXXX is secreted into the renal tubular lumen.

A

H+

39
Q

Why hyperkalemia with ACE inhibitors?

A

decreased aldosterone effect (less K+ secreted by principal cells in the collecting tubules)

40
Q

toxicities of ACE inhibitors (CAPTO)

A
cough
angioedema
pregnancy contraindication
taste of metal
hypOtension
41
Q

toxicities of ACE inhibitors (PRIL)

A

Potassium elevation
Rash
Increased renin
Low Angiotensin II

42
Q

Renal prostaglandins vasodilate afferent articles –>

A

inc GFR (maintain)

43
Q

NSAIDS inhibit renal prostaglandins –>

A

dec GFR

44
Q

anion gap metabolic acidosis (MUD)

A

Methanol *(formate), metformin
Uremia
Diabetic ketoacidosis

45
Q

ACE inhibitors treat what three conditions?

A

HTN, CHF, Diabetes

46
Q

Where is ACE made?

A

lungs

47
Q

ANP effect on renin

A

48
Q

ANP effect on GFR

A

50
Q

inc ANP levels are seen in patients with

A
