test 4 Flashcards
podocyte
surrounds each capillary through which filtration takes place
mesangial cells
form the mesangium of the glomerulus. change size and contract when they need to filter. Barrier less leaky when contracts, K goes down
what charge passes through glomerulus the best
positive. capillary is negative. so negative is the worst to travel through
glomerulonephritis
inflammation caused by infections. makes glomerular basement membrane lose negative charge so more things will be in the urine.
treatment for glomerulonephritis
steroid therapy
goodpasture’s syndrome
anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. Antibodies develop against the basement membrane causing kidney failure and lung bleeding. symptoms never go away only controlled.
glomerular filtration barrier
- podocytes (epi of bowmans capsule, fenestrated, large poors, neg charge, mensangial cells)
- basement membrane (basal lamina - neg charged, glycoprotiens, coarse sieve)
lies in between - epithelium of Bowman’s capsule (podocytes create filtration slits)
allows 20% plasma to enter bowman’s space
GFR =
GFR= KF [(PGC-PBS)-(πGC- πBS)], GFR is the volume tof plasma that enters bowman’s space, average 125 ml/min (above 100 good), most important regulator is blood flow
PGC: favors filtration, nearly constant
PBS: opposes filtration, constant
πGC: opposes filtration, high conc of protiens causes the rate to dec
πBS: favors filtration, no change because it can’t ever get out of capillaires
what happens to GFR if CO decreases
renal dysfunction will occur because the GFR number will be low
KF
filtration coefficient- how leaky the barrier is. mesangial contract - less leaky, KF Dec
Mesangial relax - more leaky, KF increases
PH - π - Pfluid = net filtration rate
positive to favor filtration
pH- blood pressure
π - proteins in plasma but not in bowman’s capsule
pfluid- created by bowmans’ capsule
efferent arteriole constrict
more volume in glomerulus as less is leaving, higher PH, higher GFR
afferent arteriole constrict
more volume leaving, lower PH, lower GFR
Renal blood flow
approximately 1200 ml/min
kidneys receive 20% of CO, if RBF increases then GFR increases
renal plasma flow (RPF)
= RBF X (1-Hct (%RBC))
what if the RPF is extremely high?
outstrips the filtration capacity of the capillary causing renal dysfunction - kidneys will have too much to handle
solvent movement in kidneys
moves with sodium
Na+ movement
reabsorbed by active transport,
secretion: enters on the luminal side through membrane proteins and moves down the electrochemical gradient
reabsorption: pumped out basolaterial side by the K+/Na+ ATPase
______ drives anion reabsorption
electrochemical gradient
______ drives water movement
osmosis, following solute reabsorption
____ filtrate reabsorbed in PCT
70%
how does reabsorption occur in the PCT
- most reabsorption occurs across the tubular epithelium- transcellular transport
- some reabsorption of water and certain ions occurs between cells - paracellular transport
Main role of PCT
does nothing to produce concentrated urine, just produces a smaller amount of urine - continuously establishes a Na+ gradient so the interior of PCT low Na+, favors primary active transport on the basolateral side of the membrane
penicillin and cimetidine
secreted in PCT
