Renal Transport Mechanisms Flashcards
Na+ and H2O percentage reabsorption in:
- proximal convoluted tubule
- proximal straight tubule
- thick ascending limb
- distal convoluted tubule
- collecting duct
- bladder
PCT: 70% h20 , 60-70% Na PST: none Thick LOH: 25% Na, no H20 DCT: 5% Na, H2O variable Collecting Duct- 3% Na, H20 variable Bladder- 1% Na, H20 variable
PCT reabsorption for:
- glucose
- amino acid
- urea
- H2O, Na, Cl, K
What is main transporter?
What is special feature of PCT?
Glucose: 100%
Amino acids: 100%
Urea: 50%
others: 67%
Na/K ATPase in basolateral membrane
*Freely permeable to water
Transcellular vs paracellular diffusion and pathway
Transcellular- through the cell membrane
Through luminal membrane-> cytosol-> basolateral membrane of tubule cell-> interstitial fluid -> endothelium of peritubular capillaries
Paracellular- between cells
- between tubule cells
- tight junctions, but can be leaky and ions can get through (Ca, Mg, K)
- into PCT
Four ways to transport
1) ATPase
- only in basolateral membrane
- Na/K (Na out, K in)
2) Cotransporter
- ions move in same direction
3) Countertransporter
- ions move in opposite direction
4) Channel
- water channel, sodium channel, potassium channel
Sodium Reabsorption (4)
- most abundant cation in filtrate
- 80% of energy used for active transport for reabsorption
- active via transcellular route
- can occur sodium ion leak channels
Transport Na (3 steps)
1) Na+ diffuses across luminal membrane (apical) via Na/K ATPase pump
2) Na+ diffuse across basolateral membrane
3) Na H20 reabsorved from interstitial fluid into peritubular capillaries by ultrafiltration (passive)
Na+/H+ Exchange
- effects
- significance
-important for reabsorption for Na, Cl, and HCo3
- sodium reabsorption
- bicarbonate reclamation
Issues with Na+/H+ exchange (2)
5 step process of H+ ad HCO3
- H+ outside=acidic
- presence of carbonic anhydrase
1) Lumen: H+ + HCO3=> H2CO3
2) H2CO3 converted into CO2 + H2O via carbonic anhydrase
3) CO2 diffused into tubule cell cytosol (transcellular) + H2O => H2CO3 via carbonic anhydrase (splits into H and HCO3)
4) HCO3 into interstitial fluid then into blood
5) H+ recycles and helps process over again in lumen
Chloride Reabsorption
- mechanism
- PCT: H2O> Cl- reabsorbed more
- more Cl- in in tubule
- Drives Chloride movement passively=> paracellular pathway (down conc gradient)
- chloride reclamation
Paracellular Route (H2O) - examples
- depends on presence/absence of tight junction
- thin descending limb : not a lot of tight junction => paracellular water movement occur freely
- Thick ascending limb and Collecting duct : lots of tight junction => no paracellular water movement
Transcellular Route (H20)
Aquaporins 1- Proximal Tubule, endothelia
Aquaporin 2- collecting duct , under control of ADH
Water Reabsorption in:
- Proximal Tubule
- Loop of Henle
- Distal Tubule
- Late distal tubule and CD
state %, mechanism, and hormones
PT: 67% , passive, no hormones
LoH: 15%, DESCENDING LIMB ONLY, passive, no hormone
Distal Tubule: no water reabsorption, no hormone
-Late distal tubule and CD: 8-17, passive, AVP, ANP, BNP
Glucose Transport
- location
- percentage
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
2 Sodium coupled Glucose Transporter
1) SGLT2- 90% of reabsorption
- high capacity
- low affinity
- S1, S2
2) SGLT1- 10% of reabsorption
- low capacity
- high affinity
- S3
Diabetes effect with SGLT2 inhibition
with SGLT 2 inhibition
- reduced blood glucose levels=> less glucose resorption
Transport Maximum for Glucose
Tm= 375 mg/min (typically 200mg/dl)
