Q

Describe the three processes in the formation of urine

A
  • glomerular filtration (seperation of soluble wastes from blood)
  • tubular reabsorption; fluid enters renal tubule of nephron then modified and necessary molecules from filtrate are returned to blood
  • tubular secretion; release of ions and medication from cells of tubule that have been concentrated and must be eliminated.

Q

Describe the Renin Angiotensin aldosterone System

A

When blood volume is low, blood pressure is low, sodium is low and potassium is high. That triggers RAAS. The kidneys (juxtaglomerular cells) release renin and turn angiotensinogen into angiotensin 1. Then with ACE ( which is made by the macrophages of the lungs) turns angiotensin 1 to a more potent angiotensin 2. Angiotensin 2 circulates to adrenal cortext to release aldosterone ( a mineral corticiod) kidneys respond by reabsorbing sodium and h2o. This then raises blood pressure, blood volume, and sodium and lowers potassium.

Q

What is oliguria?

A

Low urine output of about <500 ml/ day

27
Q

What is the term for no urine output a day?

A

Anuria

28
Q

What is the normal secretory blood glucose levels?

A

60-100 mg/dL

29
Q

A level of 125 mg/dL indicates what?

A

Diabetes mellitus

30
Q

What is the renal threshold of blood glucose?

A

160 - 180 mg/dL

31
Q

What are the functions of ADH?

A
  • ADH inhibits urine production

- helps us to maintain intravascular fluid volume

32
Q

How does ADH work?

A

When blood pressure and blood volume is low this is sensed at the hypothalamus which produces ADH, then the posterior pituitary releases ADH. This triggers tubular reabsorption of h2o which increase blood volume and blood pressure.

33
Q

What makes the renal corpuscle?

A

The glomerulus and the bowman’s capsule.

34
Q

What lies between the afferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole?

A

The glomerulus.

35
Q

What do the peritubular capillaries stem from?

A

The efferent arteriole.

36
Q

What is the glomerulus

A

A ball of capillaries formed from an afferent arteriole.

37
Q

Describe the internal anatomy of a kidney.

A
  • renal cortex (most outer layer of the kidney.
  • medulla is divided into pyramids which are separated by columns (which is an extension of the cortex) the renal papilla empties urine into the minor calyx which turns into the major calyx then turns into the renal pelvis which is located in the cavity called the renal sinus
38
Q

What cells make the juxtaglomerular apparatus?

A

It’s formed by modified distal tubule cells called macula densa, and modified medial cells of afferent arteriole called JG cells

39
Q

What happens if there is a build up of ketones

A

Diabetic ketoacidosis

40
Q

Name two pathways in which glucose is broken down

A

Glycogenolysis (glycogen is broken down to glucose) & glycolysis (splitting sugars)

41
Q

What is excessive drinking called?

A

Polydipsia

42
Q

What is conn’s syndrome

A

It is a disease involving the excess production of aldosterone causing increased levels of sodium and water leading to hypertension and hyperhydration

43
Q

How does atrial natriuretic peptide work?

A

High fluid volume and around the heart causes the atrial muscles to produce ANP which triggers kidneys to release sodium and h2o into urine decreasing blood pressure and blood volume.

44
Q

ANP is released in response to what?

A

Congestive heart failure

45
Q

Function of the papillary duct

A

To deliver urine to minor calyx

46
Q

Function of the proximal convoluted tubule

A

Reabsorption of water, ions, and all organic nutrients

47
Q

Function of the renal corpuscle

A

Production of filtrate

48
Q

In the loop of henle what does the descending limb do and what does the ascending limb do?

A

The descending limb further absorbs more water and the ascending limb further absorbs both sodium and chloride ions.

49
Q

What are the functions of the distal convoluted tubule

A

The secretion of ions, acids, drugs and toxins also variable reabsorption of water sodium and calcium ions

50
Q

Functions of the connecting tubules and collections duct

A

Variable reabsorption of water and reabsorption or secretion of sodium potassium. hydrogen, and bicarbonate ions.

51
Q

Why is the urethra longer in men then in women?

A

Because it is also a part of the reproductive system in males

52
Q

Why are women more susceptible to urinary tract infections than in men?

A

Because men have longer urethras so women’s bladders are closer to the outside.

53
Q

What’s is a dropped kidney referred to?

A

Renal ptosis

54
Q

Renal ptosis can lead to the back pressure of fluids that damage nephrons. This is referred to as what?

A

Hydronephrosis

55
Q

What is the normal color of urine and what are two pigments that can be found in Irvine due to liver failure

A

Urine is a pale, straw like yellow. Bilirubin pigments the urine red and biliverdin pigments the urine green.

56
Q

What is the random specimen of urine and the 24hr specimen.

A

Random is 4.8 -8.0

24 hour is 6.0

57
Q

What is the diabetes insipidus

A

Lack or reabsorption of water causing polydipsea and polyurea

58
Q

How does insulin work?

A

Insulin works by decreasing the formation and use of GLUTS (Glucose transporter) at cell membranes

59
Q

What is uremia

A

(Urea in the blood) one of the last stages of kidney failure

60
Q

What is azotemia?

A

(Nitrogen in the blood) when kidneys can’t efficiently get rid of blood urea nitrogen and Creatine.

61
Q

What is acidosis and alkalosis

A

Acidosis the a condition with too much acids in the body fluid and alkalosis is the condition with to much base.

62
Q

What is it called when there are high amounts of glucose in the urine that can be detected?

A

Glycosuria

63
Q

Glycosuria is present In which type of diabetes

A

Diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes

64
Q

How much percent of women experience gestational diabetes?

A

1-3%

65
Q

What happens in gestational diabetes

A

The mothers insulin sensitivity is reduced resulting in glycosuria and hyperglycemia.

66
Q

What’s is the increased urination due to the high concentration of glucose in the renal tubules
