Q

Juxtaglomerular apparatus consist of

A

Macula densa - thick LOH meets DCT
Juxtaglomerular/granular cells - secrete renin
Extraglomerular mesangial cells - smooth muscle involved in blood flow via sym system

Q

Filtration Fraction

A

GFR/RPF normally 20%

Constrict AA = smaller GFR & RPF same FF

Constrict EA = greater GFR, large FF

11
Q

Tubuloglomerular Feedback

A

Up to one minute

Increase MAP = increase GFR and Na & Cl to macula densa, increase in ATP & adenosine release via mesangial cells -> calcium increase -> vasoconstriction of AA (inhibit renin release via juxtagl. Cells) to decrease GFR

Q

Function of ANP and BNP

A

Decrease Na reabsorption (CT)

Released during high blood volume, reduces blood pressure

ANP - (Atrium stretched)
BNP - (ventricle stretched - natriuretic peptide)

Both cause vascular relaxation of intraglomerular mesangial cells and AA and constriction of EA

Inhibit Renin release, inhibit ADH, inhibit aldosterone,

Q

Glucose Clearance

A

Completely reabsorbed

E = F-R = 0

17
Q

Loop diuretics

A

Inhibit Na/K/Cl symporter in Thick ALOH

18
Q

K Sparing Diuretics

A

Block Na+ or Aldosterone receptor to indirectly inhibit K+ secretion and excretion in the CT

19
Q

Principle cells controlled by

A

Hormone aldosterone (Na+ reabsorption)

20
Q

Na+ excretion depends on

A

Effective circulating volume (ECV), not [Na plasma]

21
Q

Renin release stimulated by:

A

Less AA stretch (low BP)
Less Na+/Cl delivery to macula densa
Sympathetic system
Decreased ANP/BNP

22
Q

Angiotensin II effects

A

Vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels (increase BP)
Thirst and salt intake desire
ADH secretion via anterior pituitary
Aldosterone release
Increase Na/K anti porter in PCT & TAL
Contracts AA & EA
Contract intraglomerular mensangial cells to decrease GFR

23
Q

Actions of Aldosterone

A

Increase Na reab. (Via principle cells luminal channels = Na, activates basolateral=Na/K)

Increase K secretion (via principle cells, luminal K channels)

Stimulate H ATPase of alpha-intercalated cells

24
Q

Sympathetic effects on Na+ Reab.

A

Renin release = Beta-1 receptor

AA & EA vasoconstriction via alpha-1

Na reab. At PCT via alpha-1

25
Q

Conn’s Syndrone

A

Hyperaldosterone = hypertension

Increased Na reabsorption at CT
Increased K secretion = hypokalemia
Increased H ATPase activity (increased H secretion, HCO reab.) = metabolic alkalosis

26
Q

Water diuresis

A

Increase in urine excretion caused by absence of ADH = hypotonic urine

27
Q

Anti diuresis

A

High ADH levels causing high water reabsorption In CT causing hypertonic urine

28
Q

What stimulates H+ secretion

A

Increased PCO2

Decreased pH

Increased Aldosterone

Increased Angiotensin II (which acts on Na/H on luminal side)

K+ wasting diuretics

29
Q

K+ Sparing Diuretics act on

A

Blocks Principle cell Na+ channels - making lumen more positive therefore excreting H+

Blocks aldosterone receptors

30
Q

Problems with respiratory acidosis

A

Sleep apnea

opiates

31
Q

Problems with respiratory alkalosis

A

Respiratory diseases

Pneumonia

32
Q

Problems associated with metabolic acidosis

A

Diarrhea
Lactic acidosis
Ketoacidosis

33
Q

Problems associated with metabolic alkalosis

A 
Antacid ingestion
Low vascular volume
High aldosterone
Vomiting
Loop/thiazide diuretics
34
Q

Intracellular buffers and extracellular buffers

A

Intra - proteins

Extra - phosphate and bicarbonate

35
Q

Anion Gap

A

(Na+) - ( HCO - Cl )

Cations - Anions

9-14 normal

36
Q

Renal response pH equation

A

pH = 6.1 + log [HCO]/[CO2]

37
Q

A
  1. H2o
  2. D5W
  3. SIADH
