Water Balance and diabetes Flashcards
When is present if you see concentrated urine?
ADH
What if you see dilute urine?
ADH is absent
What is the diluting portion of the nephron
thick ascending limb
What is the concentrating potion of the nephron
thick ascending limb
Where can you make the choice to get rid of water
End of Distal convoluted tubule
What allows for water to be drawn out other than ADH?
medullary interstitum hypertonicity
AND ADH required
What sets up hypertonicity
passive thin ascending loop NaCl movement
active NKCC2 in thick ascending loop
Urea transport UTA1 in collecting duct
How is the thin ascending loop able to still move sodium out
Presence of urea helps you have a larger gradient difference
What does ADH increase
Water AND Urea permiability
ADH-UT-A1
(ADH-AQP2)
What does someone on loop diuretics need to do?
measure sodium and water intake because they cannot concentrate/dilute urine
If urine osmolarity is greater than plasma, what would you expect?
Free water clearance is negative
retention
If urine osmolarity is less than plasma, what would you expect?
Free water clearance is positive
excretion
What is someones Free water clearance on loop diuretics
0
Where is AVP made
hypothalamus in supraoptic nuclei
Where is AVP secreted
posterior pituitary
