Q

osmosis

A

solutes suck - solutes draw fluid in direction of higher solute concentration
counteracted by hydrostatic pressure - the hydrostatic pressure that stops the water flow is the oncotic pressure
this tendency to draw water can be counteracted by applying the hydrostatic pressure and that hydrostatic pressure that stops the water flow is the osmotic pressure

Q

reflection coefficient

A

how much of a pressure is exerted by a particle
of the membrane - if totally impermeable, molecule always reflected back from the membrane = reflection coefficient of 1
if reflection coefficent of .5, 50% of the particles get through - ineffective osmole in a stationary system - eventually solute will leak out and equilibrium is released so eventually will be no gradient in the long term - in dynamic system like capillaries, reflection coefficient below 1 is relevant

Q

problem of maintaining cell volume

A

without regulation, eventually cells would fill so much with water that they would rupture
have Na/K ATPase pump to prevent this - sot that intracellular osmotic concentration equals extracellular osmotic concentration so that there’s no driving force for water entry
requires lots of energy - up to 20% of cells energy to this

Q

composition of body fluids

A

na main extracellular ion
K main intracellular
established by na/k atpase - makes the system behave as though there were no na or k permeability - also creates sidedness:
na an effective osmole only from extracellular side and k only an effective osmole from the intracellular side

Q

lymph

A

washes away proteins in the interstitial space
most capillaries somewhat permeable to protein so there’s always some protein in the interstitium
doesn’t come to an equilibrium even though most of the fluid is reabsorbed because of lymph
if lymph flow is blocked then protein that accumulates in interstitial space can’t be carried away - protein concentration in interstitium becomes equal to that in the capillary - get continuous filtration into interstitial space because there’s nothing to oppose the hydrostatic pressure => severe edema

Q

energy use in kidneys

A

filtration does not require energy, but reabsorption does because requires ATPases
therefore O2 consumption is determined primarily by GFR - changes in parallel with RBF

Q

why is kidney main regulator of RBC production?

A

over wide range in blood flows, there’s no significant change in the areteral venous O2 difference so no change in the partial pressure of O2 in the tissue
therefore the main determinant of tissue partial pressure is O2 of incoming blood

Q

efferent arteriole

A

determines balance be reabsorption and filtration
if constricts, pressure in front of it increases, favors more filtration but also favors reabsorption in peritubular capillaries because hydrostatic pressure has declined there

Q

determinants of GFR

A

glomerular capillary pressure - much higher than it is in other types of capillaries - main driving force for filtration

Q

filtration fraction

A

amount of arriving plasma that becomes ultrafiltrate
usually about 20%
= GFR/RPF
consequence of high filtration fraction - as blood flows through glomeruli and protein free ultrafiltrate is formed the protein concentration inside the capillaries gradually increases => limits further filtration

Q

hydrostatic pressure along glomerular capillaries

A

remains relatively the same - declines by only 1-2 mm Hg because resistance of these capillaries negligable
oncotic pressure increases substancially and if flow is sluggish filtration may come to a standstill because oncotic pressure buildup stops further filtration

Q

determinants of filtration

A

main determinant is hydrostatic pressure in glomeruli
blood flow less important determinant but changes in afferent and efferent tone still alter Pgc and thus GFR in opposite directions
surface area under regulation too - mesangeal cells are contractile, can change surface area available for filtration

33
Q

arteriole effects on filtration

A

if afferent arteriole constricts, RPF goes down, Pgc goes down and GFR therefore goes down

if efferent arteriole constricts, then pressure in front of it is going to increase, so Pgc goes up, RPF goes down, and GFR goes up
filtration fraction increases - favors reabsorption

34
Q

clearance

A

(Us x V)/Pas
urine flow rate x concentration of substance
divided by plasma concentration of substance
arterial input = venous output + urine output

35
Q

PAH

A

filtered by glomeruli and also actively secreted into tubules by peritubular capillaries
therefore all blood that passes through the kidney is cleared of PAH in a single passage
whatever goes into the urine is equal to what came in the afferent arteriole
concentration ratio tells you how much more concentrated the urine is for PAH = can then extrapolate to what the renal plasma flow is

36
Q

inulin

A

to determine GFR
need something that’s freely filtered just as well as water is
freely filtered and tubules are completely impermeable to it so whatever has entered the tubule through the glomerular filtration is all that will be excreted in the urine
advantages = accurate
disadvantages = requires infusion and short-timed urine collection during infusion (Foley catheter)

37
Q

partial workaround for inulin and PAH

A

infuse inulin or PAH at a constant rate

know rate of infusion = rate of excretion

38
Q

creatinin

A

produced endogenously - degradation product of creatinin phosphate
still need to do time collection
not perfect cause there’s some secretion - glomerular filtration increases as disease progresses though, so not that accurate
overestimates GFR with failure?

39
Q

autoregulation of RBF and GFR

A

in normal operating range, GFR practically doesn’t change due to corresponding increase in resistance of the vessels to keep GFR from changing
if this weren’t the case, normal changes in blood pressure due to everyday activities would create huge changes in kidney function
autoregulation breaks down at BP lower than 70 - get pre renal failure
also breaks down when pressure gets very high
mechanisms = myogenic mechanism and tuboglomerular mechanism

40
Q

myogenic mechanism

A

smooth muscle cells stretched, contract more forcefully and increase frequency of their contractions
very pronounced in kidney cause long afferent arteriole - mainly occurs in proximal region of afferent arteriole

41
Q

tuboglomerular feedback

A

in distal portion of afferent arteriole - if high rate of filtration, more fluid delivered to loop, more arrives at macula densa (thick ascending limb) - glomerulus then sends signal to afferent arteriole of that glomerulus and that constricts it - so prevents too much na from getting to distal part of nephron, where there’s limited reabsorption capacity
but this also regulates GFR and RBF

42
Q

mechanism of TGF

A

in macula densa:
via sensing [NaCl]:
if more na delivered, macula densa cell forced to reabsorb more (vie Na/2Cl/K transporter) => turnover rate of Na/K transporter has to increase => ATP production has to increase => signals in cell recognize high Na
via cilia: have primary cilia that sense how much fluid is passing by

43
Q

sympathetic tone to kidney

A

under normal conditions, vasoconstrictor tone is negligable

only when blood pressure declines a lot does it matter - only when low pressure receptors deactivated

44
Q

vasoactive substances

A

even during large changes in ECFV, effect of vasoactive substances is small because the effect of vasoconstrictors is bufferend by simultaneous release of vasodilators and vice versa
GFR needs to be stabilized cause small change in GFR could lead to huge change in filtration
vasoactive substances change set point or sensitivity of autoregulation
also have direct effects on tubules of kidney - change Na reabsorption
generally, vasodilators are natriuretic and vasoconstrictors are antinatriurretic
this effect is much more relevant than the effect on GFR

45
Q

things that regulate secretion of renin (4)

A

increased afferent arteriole pressure results in decreased renin
increased beta-adrenergic/sympathetic tone activity results in increased renin
increased NaCl load at the macula densa results in decreased renin
increased levels of pressor hormones results in decreased renin (negative feedback)

46
Q

hemodynamic affects of AII

A

acts primarily by increasing efferent tone, only constricts afferent at very high doses
also decreases medullary blood flow

decreases auto regulation
increases sensitivity of TGF
decreases renin secretion

47
Q

NSAIDs

A

prostaglandins are one of main substances that buffer afferent tone - vasodilators
production of them inhibited by NSAIDs
when sympathetic tone to kidney is high, such as in heart failure, can result in pronounced effect of NSAIDs - by unmasking full vasoconstrictor effect - can result in renal failure

53
Q

functions of PT

A

reabsorbs 70% of filtered na and h2o
reclaims all of nutrients (glucose, AA, lactate, etc.)
reabsorbs about 80% of filtered bicarbonate and phosphate
secretes xenobiotics (detox)
degrades and reabsorbs filtered proteins and peptides

54
Q

nutrient uptake in PT

A

coupled to reabsorption of Na

makes it more efficient

55
Q

bicarbonate uptake in PT

A

Na/H exchanger in apical membrane
drives indirect reabsorption of bicarbonate
secreted H+ ions join with HCO3 to make carbonic acid
luminal C.A. IV converts carbonic acid to CO2 and H2O, which can diffuse through the membrane
C.A. II converts back into carbonic acid
carbonic acid splits into bicarbonate and H+
H+ goes back into filtrate through Na/H exchanger and bicarbonate excreted back into blood through Na/HCO3 cotransporter

56
Q

acetazolamide

A

blocks carbonic anhydrase on lumen that converts carbonic acid into H2O and CO2 so that it can be reabsorbed
inhibit significant fraction of Na reabsorption in proximal tubule because eliminate a lot of the H+ that’s used in the Na/H+ exchanger
therefore these are diuretics

57
Q

water reabsorption in PT

A

by osmosis
as cells reabsorb solutes, there’s a slightly higher solute concentration in cell and blood, resulting in slightly higher osmolality
change in osmolality needed to drive water through is minimal cause the water permeability of the PT is very high
partially because they have aquaporin channels present and also because tight junctions are very water permeable (leaky)

58
Q

solvent drag

A

as water goes through tight junctions due to osmotic pressure, some solutes are taken with it
results in further solute reabsorption

59
Q

paracellular transport in PT

A

30-50% of the filtered Na and water reabsorbed by this method
since na and water are reabsorbed with HCO3 and other anions in the early part of the PT, Cl- is left behind
its concentration increases - since the paracellular pathway is leaky, Cl diffuses down its concentration gradient and negatively charged ions move out of tubule => tubule ends up with positive voltage - voltage then drives passage of cations (Na) out of lumen as well - so there’s na/cl reabsorption without input of energy

60
Q

reabsorption is a two-step process

A

1: transport from tubular fluid to peritubular interstitial space
2: uptake into peritubular capillary

typically step 1 is rate limiting
but PT is so leaky and its transport so high that step 2 can become ratelimiting

na can go back through paratubular junction too - how much goes back depends on starling forces that dictate entry into the peritubular capillaries

61
Q

glomerulartubular balance

A

if glomerulus filters more, tubules respond by reabsorbing more
mechanisms involved:
if more filtration, especially due to efferent constriction (so hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries increases and RBF decreases) - hydrostatic pressure in peritubular capillaries declines, oncotic pressure in peritubular capilaries increases, since more filtrate is formed from less blood - favors reabsorption

62
Q

secretion of xenobiotics in PT

A

many toxins bind to plasma albumin - limits their filtration
these toxins are taken up into the PT by high-affinity basolateral transporters and are then secreted into the tubular fluid
3 types of transporters:
- organic anion
- organic cation
- multidrug resistance proteins

transporters are non-specific and saturable (allows for drug-drug interactions)

63
Q

reabsorption of oligopeptides in PT

A

degraded by intracellular brush boarder ectopeptidases

resulting AA then reabsorbed in cotransport with Na

64
Q

reabsorption of albumin in PT

A

a little bit enters filtrate despite high permselectivity of filtration barrier
filtered albumin taken up by PT cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis
degraded intracellularly and returned to blood as AA
defects in endocytic uptake of proteins in PT can result in tubular proteinuria

65
Q

main functions of loop of henle

A

reabsorbs 25% of filtered Na but only 15% of filtered H2O - water reabsorbed in descending limb, na reabsorbed in ascending limb
dilution of urine (direct) - reabsorb more na than water
concentration of urine (indirect, permissive effect) - because segment responsible for generating hyperosmotic medullary enviornment that’s a prerequisite for concentraiton
main site of Mg reabsorption, important site of ca reabsorption
participates in the regulation of acid/base balance - permissive effect - NH4 reabsorption

66
Q

ion transport in TAL

A

still has Na/H exchange mechanism, but that’s a small fraction
most of reabsorption due to Na/2Cl/K cotransporter
limited amount of K in tubular fluid, so K recycled through channels on luminal side => lumen positive voltage
this voltage drives Na, Ca, Mg, K, and NH4 though paracellular pathway
always water impermeable so buildup of salt in the interstitium in the medulla - how urine will eventually become concentrated when it passes through that enviornment

67
Q

loop diuretics (furosemide, bumetanide)

A

block Na/2Cl/K cotransporter

68
Q

main functions of distal tubule

A

reabsorbe about 5% of filtered NaCl
water impermeable, so doesnt reabsorb any water at all
contributes to dilution of urine
doesn’t contribute to ability of kidney to dilute the urine because it’s in the renal cortex and in the renal cortex, blood flow is very high and there’s no countercurrent there so salt that secreted into the interstitium gets washed away instantly
regulation of Ca balance

69
Q

NaCl transport in DT

A

Na/Cl cotransporter => larger concentration difference than cotransporter in Na/Cl/K cotransporter
also water impermeable

70
Q

thiazide diuretics

A

block Na/Cl cotransporter in DT

71
Q

main functions of CD

A

where regulation of Na balance takes place
regulation of H2O balance
regulation of K balance
fine regulation of acid/base balance

72
Q

ion transport in CD

A

na entry through na channel
driven by gradient established by Na/K atpase
mechanism can practically eliminate all the na from the urine if necessary
entry of Na into cell creates lumen negative voltage - this drives Cl through paracellar pathway
K leaves through K channel in lumen so that gradient can be maintained
means that reabsorption of Na leads to secretion of K

73
Q

paracellular pathway in CD

A

permeable only to Cl

74
Q

K sparing diuretics

A

inhibit Na channel in CD
because reabsorption of Na in this section is coupled to the secretion of K
if block Na entry mechanism, we also block K secretion and thereby K loss

75
Q

ADH

A

regulates water permeability of CD
increases H2O permeability in all CD segments
increases urea permeability of medullary CD

76
Q

Na and H2O handling summary

A 
in PT - 65% Na and H2O
descending LH - no Na but 15% H2O
ascending LH - 25% Na but no H2O
DT - 6% Na but no H2O
CD - 4% Na and 0-20% H2O depending on ADH
77
Q

regulators of Na/H2O reabsorption
