tubular function Flashcards
when urine volume is 23 L how much water is reabsorbed
87%
obligatory water reabsorption
represents 87% of water reabsorbed without adh
segments where water is reabsorbed
PCT - 65%
loop of Henle - 15%
DCT - 5%
CD - 2%
movement of water in proximal convoluted tube
water moves out passively out of tubules
water channels where water reabsorption takes place
aquaporin-1
tubular fluid is
isotonic
receives isotonic fluid
descending loop of henle
fluid in the descending limb becomes
hypertonic as water move into hypertonic interstitium
hypertonicity of tip of renal pyramids
1200-1400 mosm/L
impermeable to water
ascending loop of henle and thick ascending limb
ascending loop of hence is permeable to
sodium & chloride
poor permeability to solutes
thick ascending limb
as it ascends
tubular fluid becomes more hypotonic area is called diluting segment
relatively impermeable to water
distal convoluted tubule
tonicity of fluid in dct
remains hypotonic
ADH controls
facultative water reabsorption aka
late DCT
cortical CD
medullary CD
adh relationship with collecting duct
increase in adh permeability to water increases in collecting duct
adh stimulates reabsorption of about
12.7% of the total
8% in the late DCT cortical CD
4.7% in the medullary CD
receptors of adh
V2
receptor v2 of adh is located in
basolateral membrane of the principal cells
mechanism of adh
- ADH binds to V2 receptors on the basolateral membrane
of the principal cell - activate adenylate cyclase enzyme.
- this increases the intracellular cAMP which activate
protein kinase A - protein kinase A activate translocation of aquaporins-2
channels from intracellular vesicles to the apical
membrane - water moves passively through aquaporins-2 channels.
in the presence of adh
water moves passively
tubular fluid is isotonic
8% of filtered water is reabsorbed
urine is highly concentrated 1400 mosm/L
99.7% of water is reabsorbed
4.7% of filtered water is reabsorbed into the hypertonic medullary interstitium
in the absence of adh
- collecting duct is relatively impermeable to water
- tubular fluid remain hypotonic
- large volume of diluted urine is excreted.
- Urine volume reach 23L/day & its osmolarity is only 30
mosm/L - 13% of filtered water may be excreted
caused by ADH deficiency
neurogeneic diabetes insipidus
respond to treatment with ADH agonist
neurogeneic diabetes insipidus
failure to respond to ADH
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
collecting ducts failure to respond to ADH it may be due to
the gene for V2 receptors is mutated making the
receptors un responsive or defect in aquaporin-2 channels due to mutation in its gene
