Q

How Na+ is regulated on venous side

A

1) Right atrial sensors
- when stretched release ANP, inhibit release ADH, decrease vascular resistance
2) Pulmonary receptors
- nerves located adjacent to pulmonary capillaries
- may sense early pulmonary edema leading to inhibition of sympathetic activity ?

Q

How Na+ is regulated on arterial side

A

1) senses effective circulating volume via carotid sinus baroreceptor stretch —> leads to natriuresis
2) Sense increased renal BP (also relates to effective circulating volume) –> leads to natriuresis

Q

Trigger for PGI2 synthesis

A

-low ECFV states (ex CHF or cirrhosis)
-levels rise to maintain renal perfusion in the settng of high AII, SNS activity
CHF = low CO –> want to vasodilate afferent arteriole to increase GFR of kidney (overall will be getting more natriuresis because of increase GFR)

-located on the blood side of cells in the TAL and the collecting duct

32
Q

Effect of V2 receptor

A

Mediates water movement down its gradient (water reabsorption)

33
Q

Effect of V3 receptor

A

May lead to ACTH release by the pituitary

34
Q

A

Physiological ADH concentrations do not appear to be sufficient to cause activation of the V1 receptors

35

A

1) Volume depletion
2) Nausae/vomiting
3) Pain
4) Medications (narcotics, chlorpropamide, carbamazepine)

A

-minutes

37
Q

Vasopressin (drug) - MOA

A

Selective V1 agonist

38
Q

DDAVP MOA

A

Selective V2 agonist -leading to water reabsorption

39
Q

What determines ECFV

A

Serum Na+ content

40
Q

What determines intracellular fluid volume

A

Serum sodium concentration

41
Q

What does the serum [Na+ ]reflect

A

The ratio of Na+ to H2O

42
Q

What does serum [Na+] not correlate with

A
  • ECFV (volume status)

- body sodium content

43
Q

What do alterations in [Na+] reflect

A
  • reflect imbalances in the ratio of salt to water

- this imbalance is almost always due to disturbances in water content

44
Q

Principal extracellular osmoles

A
  • main = NaCl

- to lesser extent K+, HCO3-

45
Q

Principal intracellular osmoles

A
  • K+

- to lesser extent organic phosphates (DNA, RNA, ATP, phospholipids etc)

46
Q

Na+ location

A

Is restricted to the extracellular compartment

47
Q

Why changes in body salt content result in corresponding changes in body water content

A

1) Na+ restricted to extracellular compartment
2) Loss/gain Na+ changes osmolarity extracellular compartment - H2O moves in/out of extracell compart to balance intra/extracell
3) Overall = ECG volume changes but Na+ concentration remains fixed

48
Q

Cerebral edema

A
  • low extracellular osmolarity vs. intracellular space

- water flows into cells in brain to reach new equilibrium

49
Q

How to avoid problem with water flowing into cells (causing lysis)/how Na+ content determines ECF volume

A
  • excrete excess water

i. e. if Na+ is added/subtracted from the body water will be retained or excreted in order to keep osmolarity normal

50
Q

Consequence of CHF

A

1) Reduced CO
2) Decrease pressure loading of arterial sensor (decreased effective circulating volume)
3) initiation of processes leading to salt retention
4) Water retention -increase intravascular volume (volume loading?)

51
Q

Result increase Na+

A

Edema

52
Q

Result decreased Na+

A

Hypovolemia, or shock

53
Q

Result increase H2O

A

54
Q

55

-plasma osmolarity
Volume regulation
-effective circulating volume

56

d) what is affected

A 
Osmoregulation
-water excretion (via ADH)
-water intake (via thirst)
Volume regulation 
-Na+ excretion
59
Q

What is happening to H20/solutes at each point in the nephron

A
  1. Prox. tubule = lots of isotonic reabsorption
  2. Descending limb = concentrating segment (water reabsorbed)
  3. Ascending limb = diluting segment (solutes reabsorbed)
  4. Distal tubule = some additional salt/H2O reabsorbed but urine is dilute
  5. Collecting duct = if ADH acting, water reabsorbed down its gradient, otherwise urine remains dilute
60
Q

Concentrating segment

A

Descending loop of henle (H2O reabsorbed)

61
Q

Diluting segment

A

Ascending loop of henle (Na+ reabsorbed)

62
Q

Principles of concentrating urine (what does movement of H2O rely on)

A
  • water is never pumped –> can only diffuse to area of higher tonicity
    i. e. the kidney must maintain an area of high tonicity
63
Q

What is responsible for getting water to diffuse from nephron

A
  • active transport in the TAL (thin ascending limb)
  • Na/ K ATPase –> create concentration in the interstitium
  • water is not permeable at this segment (but sets up gradient for movement of water in adjoining segments that are permeable to water)
    ie. in the DCT and CD ADH sensitive H2O channels allow water to leave as long as [urine] <[interstitium]
64
Q

Max [urine]

A

-1200 mM (concentration in interstitial deep in the medulla)

65
Q

Extremes of renal function in healthy people

a) water conservation
b) salt conservation
c) water excretion
d) salt excretion

A

1) as little as 450 ml of urine per day can be normal
2) as little as 1-2 mmol/L Na{
3) 10+ L/day of very dilute urine
4) up to 800 mmol/day or 18g

66
Q

What is oncotic pressure equal to

A

= colloid osmotic pressure = osmotic pressure exerted by proteins (colloids)

67
Q

Permeability of blood vessel walls and how this affects osmotic gradient

A

-blood vessel walls are permeable to salt and water (therefore no osmotic gradient

68
Q

Albumin

A
  • largest

- most plentiful pasma protein

69
Q

Location of most of the body albumin

A

In the interstitium

-however concentration here is lower ue to high volume of interstitial vs. intracascular fluid

70
Q

Net trans-capillary pressure -forces involved

A

1) Hydraulic pressure: Favours movement of fluid out of the capillaries
2) Oncotic pressure favours rention in the capillaries

71
Q

What does balance of trans-capillary pressure cause (net result)

A

Slight movement out with lymphatics returning this fluid to venous circulation

72
Q

Causes of trans-capillary fluid shifts + consequence

A

1) Increase capillary permeability (sepsis)
2) Increase hydraulic pressure (venous congestion)
3) Decrease albumin (decreased production, loss via GI tract or urine)
- all can lead to edema

73
Q

Sodium content in people with edema

A

Always increased
