25
Q

What state does the medullary interstitium need to be in for water reabsorption to occur from the Loop of Henle and Collecting Duct?

A

Hyperosmotic

25
Q

What state does the medullary interstitium need to be in for water reabsorption to occur from the Loop of Henle and Collecting Duct?

A

Hyperosmotic

26
Q

What state does the medullary interstitium need to be in for water reabsorption to occur from the Loop of Henle and Collecting Duct?

A

Hyperosmotic

27
Q

What is the purpose of urea recycling

A

To have urea concentration in the medulla interstitium to increase osmolality and support passive water reabsorption
To get rid of urea with as little water as possible

28
Q

Where can urea go?

A

Through UT-A1 and UT-A3 tranporters

Then either to the vasa recta via UT-B1 transporters (into blood circulation)
Or back to the nephron through the descending limb via UT-A2 transporters

29
Q

What happens when urine concentration hapens?

A

Urea excretion requires less water

30
Q

How does vasopressin help urea recycling?

A

By boosting UT-A1 and UT-A3 numbers in colllecting duct

31
Q

What factors inhibit ADH production and release?

A

Decrease in plasma osmolarity
Hypervolemia - increase in blood pressure
Ethanol
Atrial natriuretic peptide

32
Q

How does NaCl reabsorption happen in the thick ascending limb?

A
33
Q

What is the mechanism of ADH?

A

ADH reaches the principal cells, which are lining the collecting duct lumen, and the later part of the DCT - through the blood circulation
Attaches itself to the V2 receptor on the basolateral membrane of the principal cell
Binding reaction activates the G Protein coupled mediated signalling cascade
Activates Protein Kinase A
Secretion of AQP2 channels
These are transported the apical side membrane
Water can then enter the principal cells and then leave via either AQP3 or AQP4 to get into the blood

34
Q

What is diuresis?

A

Increased Dilute Urine Excretion

35
Q

What happens during diuresis?

A

ADH amount is small or zero
Isosmotic fluid enters Loop of Henle and leaves as hypoosmotic as salt is being reabsorbed
Salt is still being reabsorbed in the DCT and water isn’t due to absent AQP2.
Salt is still reabsorbed in collecting duct via sodium channels and NaKATPase Pump
Towards inner side of collecting duct water can be reabsorbed through paracellular pathways
Results in hypoosmotic urine

36
Q

What happens during atudiuresis?

A

High number of ADH
Salt and water reabsorbed in the DCT since there are AQP2 and same in collecting duct
Therefore concentrated urine

37
Q

What does ADH support Na+ reabsorption in?

A

Thick ascending limb via NaK 2Cl Symporter
DCT via NaCl symporter
Collecting duct via Na+ channel

38
Q

What causes Central Diabetes Insipidus?

What are the clinical features?

What is the treatment?

A

Decreased/negligent production of ADH - could be due to genetics or acquired (e.g. trauma/infection)
Polyuria, polydipsia
External ADH

39
Q

What causes Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion?

What are the clinical features?

What is the treatment?

A

Increased production and release of ADH

Hyperosmolar urine
Hypervolemia
Hyponatremia

Non-peptide inhibitor of ADH receptor (conivaptan & tolvaptan)

40
Q

What causes Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus?

What are the clinical features?

What is the treatment?

A

Less/mutant AQP2
Mutant receptor

Polyuria, polydipsia

Thiazide diuretics (slowing filtration at Bowmans Capsule) , NSAIDs

41
Q

Where do acid and base get added from?

A

Diet and Metabolism

42
Q

How do we lose base and what does it result in?

A

Through feces

Net addition of Metabolic Acid

43
Q

How is metabolic acid neutralised?

A

Through different buffer systems such as bicarbonate

44
Q

What is the role of the kidneys in acid base balance?

A

Secretion and excretion of H+
Reabsorption of HCO3-
Production of new HCO3-

45
Q

What does Henderson-Hasselbalch equation show?

A

How H+ and HCO3- affects pH

46
Q

What causes a respiratory acid base disorder?

A

Change in pCo2

47
Q

What cases a metabolic acid base disorder?

A

Change in HCO3-

48
Q

Where is the majority of HCO3- reabsorbed?

A

In the PCT

49
Q

How is bicarbonate ions reabsorbed in the PCT?

A

CO2 enters cells through diffusion
H+ and HCO3- produced
H+ enters tubular fluid via Na+H+ antiporter or via H+ATPase pump
HCO3- reabsorbed into blood via Na+HCO3- symporter

50
Q

Where do you find a-intercalated cells and b -intercalated cells?

A

DCT and Collecting Duct

51
Q

What does b-intercalated cells do?
How does this happen?

A

HCO3- reabsorption and H+ secretion
H+ATPase Pump and H+K+ATPase
Cl-HCO3- Antiporter- blood

52
Q

What does b-intercalated cells do?
How does this happen?

A

HCO3- secretion and H+ reabsorption
Cl-HCO3- Antiporter
H+ATPase Pump-blood

53
Q

How are new bicarbonate ions produced in the PCT?

A

Glutamine is converted to 2 NH4+ and A2-
A2- turns into 2 HCO3- and reabsorbed
2 NH4+ goes into tubular fluid by Na+H+ antiporter (replaces H+) or becomes NH3 and then binds with H+ to become NH4+

54
Q

How are new bicarbonate ions produced in the DCT and collecting duct?

A

In the tubular fluid, the H+ is neutralised by the phosphate buffer system and a new bicarbonate ion is gained

What is the compensatory response?
