Urinary Flashcards
order of blood vessels in
renal, segmental, interLOBAR, arcuate, interLOBULAR, afferent, efferent
location of R and L kidneys
R- T12-L3
L- T11-L2
why is lower kidney lower down
it is compressed by liver
filtration fraction equaiton
amount filtered (GFR) / plasma flow (RPF)
what is used to estimate GFR in children
51 CR EDTA
what are the forces affecting glomerular filtration?
pGC, pBC, πGC
which forces increase glomerular filtration
pGC
which forces reduce glomerular filtration
pBC, πGC
3 things that stimulate renin release
increasing SNS innervation, reduced stretch afferent, reduced NaCl at MD cells
equation clearance
clearance(GFR) = concentration x flow rate / plasma concentration
filtration rate
plasma concentration x GFR
excretion rate
concentration x flow rate
how many mg in a gram?
how many micrograms in a mg and a gram?
1000 mg in a gram
1000 micrograms in a mg
therefore 1,000,000 micrograms in a gram
describe permeability of LoH in different sections
descending- permeable to H2O, Na and Cl
thin ascending- impermeable to water and Na/Cl
thick ascending- permeable to NaCl but not H2O
what is the importance of urea
the maintained pool of urea in the medullary interstitial creates corticocapilalry gradient along with NaCL. this drives h2O resorption
action of urea in DCT
inserts aquaporins and UT1 to increase water and urea resorption.
3 things that cause renin release
increase in sympathetic stimulation, decrease in afferent arteriole stretch, decrease in NaCl at MD cells
what starling forces would reduce NaCl absorption
reduction in pGC, increase in oncotic GC and pBC
role of prostoglandins
increase renin release, and systemic vasodilation
what does ADH do at V1 and V2 receptors
V1- vasoconstriction
V2- increase Aquaporins in CD
role of ANP
released to increase in circulating volume
- reduces ENaC
- vasodilates afferent to increase
- inhibits aldosterone
- inhibits ADH
- decreases renin
causes of fluid overload
hypoaldosteronism, excesive Na+ intake, cirrhosis, renal disease
cause central DI
basilar skull fracture, sarcoidosis, tumour, aneurysm
cause nephrogenic DI and how to manage
low protein, low salt diet
caused by mutation in V2 receptor, chronic pyelonephritis, polycystic kidney
cause SIADH
CNS disorders, lung diseases, drugs, hypothyroidism
what is hypernatraemia and what is its causes
plasma sodium above 146
osmotic diuresis, fluid loss eg. vomiting,D DI, primary aldosteronism.
what is hyponatraemia and what is its causes
serum Na lower than 135
diuretics, water overload, increased ADH, D and V, burns
symptoms hyponatraemia
agitation, nausea, focal neurology, coma
hypovolemic hyponatraemia vs hypervolaemic hyponatraemia
Hypovolemic hyponatremia: decrease in total body water with greater decrease in total body sodium
Hypervolemic hyponatremia: increase in total body sodium with greater increase in total body water
causes of hypovolaemic hyponatraemia
non renal
GI- vomiting
excessvie sweating
ascites
cerebral salt wasting solution
treatment hypovolaemic hyponatraemia
fluid restriction
ecg of hypo and hyperkalaemia
hypokalaemia- slightly peaked p wave, shallow t wave, prominent u wave
hyperkalaemia- wide flat p wave, tall peaked t wave, widened qrs
describe RMP for hypo/hyperkalaemia
hypo- rmp increased, cell hyperpolarised
hyper- rmp decreased, depolarised cell
symptoms hypo hyperkalaemia
hypo- muscle weakness, tetany, vasoconstriction, thirst due to impaired ash, metabolic alkalosis due to increased intracellular H+
hyper- muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmias
treatment hyperkalaemia
calcium gluconate to stabilise myocardium
insulin to lower plasma K+
calcium resonium to reduce K+ in body
describe transport of k+ across nephron
PCT- solvent drag
LoH- NKCC
