Renal Physiology 2 Flashcards
Progression of renal disease results in destruction of
Nephron Destruction and Function
What is Total GFR the sum of?
All filtration by functioning Nephrons so progression of disease would be indicated by reduction in GFR.
What is important plasma or urine
Plasma
What does clearance relate to in measurement of GFR
Volume of plasma cleared
what is the loading IV dose of inulin
polyfructose
Inulin gives how much clearance
100%
Where is inulin freely filtered
at Glomerulus
Why is inulin measurement a measurement of GFR
It is not metabolised by kidney and does not interfere with normal renal function
It is also not reabsorbed or secreted
Substances which are filtered and reabsorbed will have a what clearance compared to inulin
Lower Clearance than Inulin
Substances filtered and secreted will have a what clearance compared to inulin
higher clearance
What is GFR in normal man
125
GFR declines by how much per year after 30
1ml/min/year
What is used in clinical practice instead of inulin
51Cr-EDTA
What is routinely used to estimate GFR
Plasma Creatinine Clearance
Creatine is breakdown produce of what
Creatinine Muscle
Creatine is said to be endogenous or exogenous
endogenous
What factors can affect serum creatinine
Muscle Mass
Diet
Drugs
What is normal GFR
100mls/1.73min
What is glucose’s clearance rate
zero as all glucose reabsorbed
what is urea’s clearance rate
50ml with 50% reabsorbed and 50% excreted
What is used to measure real plasma flow
Organion anion para amino hippuric acid
Para Amino Hippuric Acid is freely filtered where
glomerulus and then remaining in plasma secreted into tubule so 90% of plasma is cleared of PAH content
what is the percentage of clearance of PAH from plasma
90%`
Penicillin clearance
More penicillin excreted than filtered. Clearance rate 150 with 0 reabsorbed
When filtration is greater than excretion this means
Net reabsorption
When excretion is greater than filtration this means
net secretion
when filtration and excretion are the same this means
No net reabsorption or secretion
How does urine flow form kidneys to ureters
via peristaltic contraction of smooth muscle of ureters
what type of muscle is bladder
dertrusor muscle
which muscle is mainly responsible for emptying bladder during micturition
detrusor muscle
The external urethral sphincter is
true sphincter made up of skeletal muscle under voluntary somatic control
the external urethral sphincter is under what control
voluntary somatic
the external urethral sphincter is made up of what type of muscle
skeletal
which urethral sphincter has smooth muscle and acts as a sphincter when smooth muscle relaxes
internal urethral sphincter
what type of epithelium does bladder have
Lined Transitional
Trigone of bladder has how many openings
2 Vesicoureteric
Urethral obstructions go on to be
bilateral renal problems
ureter obstruction goes on to be
unilateral renal problem
