K transport is
bidirectional
% K reabsorbed in proximal tubule
67%
% K reabsorbed in thick ascending limb
20%
% K remaining at start of distal convoluted tubule
13%
% of filtered K is reabsorbed prior to distal tubule regardless of dietary K
87%
K has a — reabsorption
net
proximal tubule K transport
active - pump on luminal and basolateral
passive - most reabsorption in PT is passive
Distal tubule and cortical collecting duct K transport
perform the fine-tuning of K+ excretion to
maintain K+ balance
a person on a low K+ diet, there is further reabsorption of K+ by the — of the late distal tubule and collecting ducts
α-intercalated cells
persons on a normal or high K+ diet, K+ is secreted by the — of the late distal tubule and collecting duct
principal cells
The principal cells, in the connecting tubule and cortical and medullary collecting duct, when stimulated by — will secrete —.
aldosterone
K+
— dominate the overall transport of K+ unless — is inhibited
Principal cells
Aldosterone
— secretion is increased by Na entrance through —
K; ENaC
sodium entrance through ENaC sodium channels causes (2)
- NA,K-ATPase stimulation
2. Depol of luminal membrane
Potassium entering via the Na,K-ATPase that is not secreted
recycles through basolateral channels.
amiloride inhibits
inhibits sodium entry, and therefore inhibits potassium
secretion
stimulates both sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion at multiple points.
Aldosterone
ROMK and BK Low K excretion
ROMK - sequestered
BK - closed
ROMK and BK Normal K excretion
ROMK - open
BK - Closed
ROMK and BK High K excretion
ROMK - open
BK - open
