Why is reabsorption & secretion important?
What is mainly filtered in the proximal tubule?
What is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule into the tubular fluid?
What is mainly reabsorbed in the descending limb?
Water
What is mainly reabsorbed in the ascending limb?
What ions are reabsorbed in the distal tubule?
What ions are reabsorbed in the distal tubule?
What is reabsorbed first in the collecting duct?
Lastly, what is secreted in the collecting duct?
What is Glomerulotubular balance?
What does Glomerulotubular balance accomplish?
How does high GFR stimulate more reabsorption?
Early Proximal Tubule (67%): Na+ Co-Transport
What are the main transporters?
What percentage of Na+/Cl-/K+ and H2O are reabsorbed in the proximal tubule?
67%
What percentage of Na+ coupled HCO3- /H+ transport occurs in the proximal tubule?
80%
What percentage of Na+ coupled Glu, AA, Pi transport occurs in the proximal tubule?
98%
Where can drugs/toxins (pancuronium/morphine) build up in patients with AKI or CKD?
Proximal tubule
Toxins and drugs are secreted here. (Morpine & Pancuronium “build up” in pts w/ AKI or CKD!
What transporter is most important for Na+ & water reabs.?
What is the main function of the Na+/H+ antiporter (NHE) / Na+/HC03- co-transporter?
Where do carbonic anhydrase inhibitors work?
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors -Na+ and bicarb bind in lumen and some is excreted. Lose K+! (moderately powerful).
What is the function of angiotensin II and where does it work?
Stimulates NHE, Na+/HCO3-, & Na+/K+ pump in the proximal tubule to ultimately raise BP
What stimulates and inhibits the Na+/Pi (NaPi) & Na+/Glucose transporters (SGLT)?
How does the Tubular fluid/Plasma concentration vary between ions and substances in the proximal tubule if:
=1
>1
<1
What limits how fast things can be reabsorbed?
Board Review…
What is the big picture of the descending LOH…
What is the big picture of the Thick Ascending Limb LOH (25%): Na/Cl/K Co-Transport?
What is the purpose of the Na+/K+/Cl- (NKCC2) transporter in the ascending LOH?
What is the role of ADH in the ascending LOH?
ADH – Increases NKCC2 activity.
