Q

ethylene glycol itself is non toxic but it is metabolized to?

Q

how does acute kidney injury occur in ethylene glycol toxicity?

A

it is metabolized to glycolic acid which causes direct tubular cytotoxicity

the oxalic acid it is metabolized to crystalizes and causes obstruction to the tubules

combined this results in acute tubular necrosis

Q

anti diuretic hormone (against peeing) is released from the PP and stimulates what receptors?

A

V2 receptors on the principal cells in the collecting ducts causing aqua-Orin 2 channels to translocate into the apical cell membrane.

Q

in the presence of high ADH meaning we dont want to pull out water describe the tubular fluid changes throughout the nephron

A

the proximal tubule: water is reabsorbed along with electrolytes so the fluid is isotonic with plasma (300)

descending loop of henle: free water is drawn out of the tubules into the intersitium so this makes the tubular fluid hypertonic (>300)

thick and thin ascending loop of henle: primary region go urine dilution and are impermeable to water: electrolytes are passively resorbed in the thin ascending limb and actively reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb, the tubular fluid is hypotonic (less than 300)

the distal convoluted tubule: is impermeable to water so the tubular fluid remains hypotonic and reabsorption of the solutes/electrolytes such as NaCl: most dilute lesson the nephron (100)

collecting duct: highly permeable to water so water leaves the tubular fluid and hypertonic urine is formed (1200)
