Transport Mechanisms 2 Flashcards
effect of loops diuretics (furosemide) on ascending limb of LOH
- inhibits Na/K/2Cl transporter
- increases urination
result of inhibition of Na/K/2Cl transporter in LOH
- decreased K+ and Ca2+ reabsorption
aka hypokalemia (and alkalosis) and hypocalcemia
how do we have decreased Ca2+ with decreased K+
- electrochemical gradient that is usually formed by the back leak of K+ will lead to paracellular Ca2+ transport
- that has now been lost
Bartter’s syndrome affects what part of the kindey
- ascending limb of LOH
cause of Bartter’s syndrome
- defect in Na/K/2Cl transporter
genetics of Bartter’s syndrome
- autosomal recessive
symptoms of Bartter’s syndrome
- hypokalemia
- metabolic alkalosis
- polyuria
- polydipsia
- dehydration
- high urine calcium
what transporter does the early distal tubule have
result
- Na/Cl cotransporter (NCC)
- dilutes tubular fluid
epithelium in early distal tubule
result
- tight epithelial
- transcellular Na+ movement via the Na/Cl cotransporter
- impermeable to H20
how much Na is reabsorbed in the early distal tubule
- 5-10%
what transporter is located in the late distal tubule/cortical collecting duct
- epithelial Na Channel (ENaC)
- alpha intercalated cells
what is the epithelial Na Channel dependent on
- aldosterone
result of epithelial Na channel
- Na enters cell down chemical gradient through ENaC
- creates negative electrical potential
- results in K+ secretion into tubular lumen
result of alpha intercalated cells
result of beta intercalated cell
- H+ secretion into tubular lumen
- HCO3/Cl- ATPase
- HCO3 extruded into the lumen
H+ secretion into tubular lumen through what mechanisms
- H+ ATPase
- H/K ATPase
what happens with the secreted H+ in late distal tubule
what happens with HCO3- in the late distal tubule
- binds to NH3 and other buffers
- results in HCO3 reabsorption into blood through HCO3/Cl- exchanger
result of the thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone
- inhibit the Na/Cl cotransporter in the early distal tubule
result of amiloride/triamterene
what are they also referred to as
- inhibit epithelial sodium channel
- K+ sparing diuretics
why are amiloride/triamterene referred to as K+ sparing diuretics
- they do not promote K+ secretion
we generally use amiloride/triamterene in combination with
- thiazide or loop diuretic
cause of Gitelman’s
result
- loss of function of Na/Cl cotransporter
- increased surface expression of K in collecting duct
- Na+ loss into urine
Gitelman’s acts like what
- a thiazide diuretic
symptoms of Gitelman’s
- hypokalemia - loss of K+ in the urine
- metabolic alkalosis
- salt craving
cause of pseudohypoaldosteronism II
result
- gain of function of Na/Cl cotransporter
- increases Na and Cl reabsorption
- decreases surface expression of K channels in collecting duct.
symptoms of pseudohypoaldosteronism II
- hypertension - increase Na reabsorption
- hyperkalemia - potassium cannot be secreted into the urine
- Metabolic Acidosis
renin and aldosterone levels in pseudohypoaldosteronism II
- low
- you’re having high BP so you have increased perfusion and don’t need the RAAS system
