Renal Physiology Flashcards
Origin of nephron
Metanephric blastema
Origin of collecting duct system
Ureteric bud
Components of nephron
Renal corpuscle (glomerulus+ bowmans capsule) PCT Loop of henle DCT CT
Cells that secrete renin
JG cells
Senses changes in volume and NaCl concentrations
Macula densa
Components of JG Apparatus
JG cells
Macula densa
Mesangial cells
Epithelium of PCT
Simple cuboidal with microvilli for absorption
Epithelium of loop of henle
Ascending limb: Simple squamous
Descending limb: simple cuboidal
Epithelium of DCT
Simple cuboidal
How many % of Cardiac output does kidney receive
25%
Functional unit of kidney
Nephron
Location of JG apparatus
Vascular pole of glomerulus
3 basic processes of kidneys
Glomerular filtration
Tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
Cells that secrete EPO
Peritubular capillary cells of kidneys- from interstitial fibroblast and tubular epithelial cells
Action is insertion of aquaporin channel
ADH
Hormone that catalyze in conversion to active vit d form
1 alpha hydroxylase
Enzymes that breakdown bradykinin
ACE
Aminopeptidase P
Carboxypeptidase N
First step in urine formation
Glomerular filtration
What are absorbed by passive diffusion
Water:99%
Na:99.5% (primary active transport)
Urea:50%
Phenol:0%
How is glucose and amino acid reabsorbed
Secondary active transport via sodium gradient
All other steps are passive
Makes urine dilute or concentrated
Medullary countercurrent system- osmotic gradient is controlled by LOH
Permeable to water,not to solute
Descending limb of LOH
Impermeable to water
Permeable to solute
Ascending limb
Ayaw sa agua
Components of glomerular membrane
Fenestrated endothelium of capillary-70nm negatively charged glycoprotein. No protein can pass
Basement membrane
Podocytes
Amount of filtrate formed by both kidneys in a unit time
GFR
Normal GFR
125ml/min
Site of highest renal vascular resistance
Efferent arteriole
What contributes to renal vascular resistance
Interlobular a
Afferrent a
Efferent a
Susbtance with highest clearance, used in renal blood flow measurement
Paraaminohippuric acid
Used to estimate GFR
Inulin- freely filtered but not absorbed nor secreted
Renal threshold for glucose
180mg/dl
Arterial threshold for glucose
200mg/dl
Usual daily UO
720-1440 ml
Oliguria
<400
Cholinomimetix used in post op urinary retention
Bethanecol
DOC for urge incontinence
Oxybutinin-non selective anticholinergic
Causes of cloudy urine
Increased ph
High phosphate
Alkaline urine with ammonia smell
Proteus
Ketone is seen in
DKA
Starvation
Common in pregnancy
Brown muddy cast
Acute tubular necrosis
Average renal blood flow
1100 ml/min for both kidneys
Major pathway for reabsorption of na,cl, water
PCT
Parts impermeable to urea
TAL
DCT
CCD
Group of neuron responsible to maintenance of micturition and defecatory continence and muscular contraction during orgasm
Onufs nucleus
Congenital anomaly sec to ACE inh use during pregnancy
Renal agenesis
MC site of ectopic kidney
Pelvic brim
Gene mutation in ADPKD
PKD1 gene on ch 16-encode for polycystin 1–85%
Pkd2 gene on ch 4
Extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD
Berry aneurysm
Hypertension
MVP
Liver,pancreatic cysts
Aka potter syndrome
ARPKD
Low set ears, parrot beak nose, lung hypoplasia
Potter facie
