Week 3 Flashcards
OPC: What are 1 common dysfunctions of the sacrum?
L on L torsion
OPC: For sacrum, what might you deduce if there is asymmetry at the base but not the ILA?
Means there is more likely a innominent dysfunction than a sacral dysfunction
CPR: How do you calculate filtration fraction?
FF = GFR/RPF
CPR: What is normal FF?
Normal FF is 20%
CRP: How can you calculate renal plasma flow? Why?
- Est via PAH
- Since PAH is 100% excreted and minimally secreted good estimate of what is being filtered
CPR: What do you use to estimate GFR?
Est. via creatinine clearance
CPR: How to calculate renal clearance?
Cx = (Ux * V) / Px
where X is substance
U is urine concentration substance
V is urine flow rate
P is plasma concentration
CPR: What is Renal clearance
Volume of plasma cleared of a substance in a defined amount of time
CPR: What does Mannitol do to fluid movement in the body?
Mannitol infusion puts lots of solutes into the ECF which drives water out of the ICF into the ECF

FF: Increased b/c RPF decreases even more than GFR
CPR: Explain Prostaglandin effects in the kidney
What inhibits prostaglandins?
- Afferent arteriole vasodilation (counteract Ang II)
- NSAIDS are COX inhibitors which can block prostaglandin production allowing too much vasoconstriction
CPR: How to calculate eGFR?
eGFR = U creatinine * V / P creatinine
CPR: How do you calculate RBF?
RBF = RPF/ (1-Hct)
CPR: Where is glucose reabsorbed?
- 100% of glucose is reabsorbed in the Proximal convoluted tubule
CPR: When does Glucose start to saturate _____________ transporters?
SGLT2 transporters saturated when glucose is > 200 mg/min
CPR: Why might pregnant women have glucosuria?
- During pregnancy blood volume increases
- Increase in GFR resulting in increased glucose filtration which can oversaturate SGLT2 transporters so some glucose gets into the urine
- Can occur even when plasma glucose is normal
CPR: What are extrinsic factors contributing to control of GFR?
- Extrinsic = neurohumoral
1. SNS
2. Ang II
3. Prostaglandins
4. Endothelial-derived nitric oxide
5. Endothelin
CPR: What are intrinsic factors contributing to control of GFR?
Intrinsic = local = autoregulation =
1. Myogenic mechanism
2. Macula densa
CPR: Describe the _________________ myogenic mechanism and the effect it exerts on GFR
- B/t 60-160 MAP, the GFR needs to maintain constant renal blood flow
1. Increasing stretch of the blood vessels, the body senses there is increased MAP
2. The stretching activates stretch sensitive Ca+2 receptors on the afferent arterioles = vasoconstriction
1a. Decreased stretch of the blood vessels, the body senses a decrease in MAP
2a. Without stretch, the Ca+2 sensitive receptors are closed and allow the afferent arteriole to dilate
CPR: Describe how the ________________ tubuloglomerular feedback at the macula densa exerts its effect on the GFR when there is increased MAP
- On the DCT, the macula densa senses increased MAP which means increased GFR. Increased GFR means increased NaCl filtered which tells the juxtaglomerular cells proximal to the afferent arteriole to constrict causing afferent arteriole constriction
CPR: Describe how the ________________ tubuloglomerular feedback at the macula densa exerts its effect on the GFR when there is decreased MAP
- On the DCT, the macula densa senses decreased MAP and thus there is decreased GFR meaning there is decreased NaCl filtration. This tells the juxtaglomerular cells to allow the afferent arteriole to vasodilate
CPR: Other than glucose, what is reabsorbed at the PCT?
~ 70%: Na+, Cl_, PO 4 -3 , K+, HCO 3 -
CPR: Where are SGLT2 transporters? What do they do?
- They are _co_transporters that move Na+ and glucose from the PCT to the cell
CPR: Describe how HCO 3 - , _________________, moves into the peritubular capillary in the PCT
- Uses bicarbonate buffer system
- CO2 can freely diffuse from the PCT to the cell since it is a gas
- In the cell, carbonic anhydrase converts to CA & H2O and is subsequently transformed into: HCO 3 - & H+
- Lastly, a HCO 3 - /Na+ cotransporter moves these molecules from cell to peritubular capillary
CPR: How do PTH affect reabsorption at the PCT?
- Parathyroid hormone decreases Na+/PO 4 -3 cotransport to peritubular capillary
CPR: Describe what happens at the thick ascending loop of Henle
- Urine dilution due to reabsorption of Na
CPR: Describe how Na is reabsorbed at the Thick ascending loop of Henle
- Na/K+ ATPase active transporters at the peritubular cell side push Na+ out of the cell against its gradient
- On the loop side, K+ channels drive [K+] down its concentration gradient and out of the cell into the thick ascending loop
- This has created a gradient for the NaKCC channels to reabsorb: Na+, 2 Cl-, K+ to come into the cell
CPR: Describe how Mg+2 and Ca+ are reabsorbed in the Thick Ascending loop of Henle
- Both use paracellular movement from the loop to move into the peritubular capillary
CPR: Describe K+ and Cl- reabsorption from the cell into the Peritubular capillary at the Thick Ascending loop of Henle
- High [K+] in the cell
- Increased [Cl-] concentration due to co-transport with Na+ drives both K+ and Cl- to use passive transport down their concentration gradients out of the cell and into the peritubular capillary
CPR: Describe reabsorption at the Think ascending loop of Henle
- Here only permeable to H2O
- This portion of the nephron is very salty which creates a concentration gradient to pull water out of the loop and into the medulla
- Urine concentration occuring here
CPR: What is Bartter syndrome? What happens to the urine and plasma?
- Autosomal recessive disorder
- Defect in the NaKCC channels that disallows reabsorption of Na, K+, Cl- from the renal tubule into the cell
- Causes: metabolic alkalosis, hypercalciuria, hypokalemia
CPR: Describe the gradient that influences movement of Mg+2 and Ca+2 into the peritubular capillary at the thick ascending loop of Henele
- On the apical side of the cell that faces the loop, there is excretion of K+ ions down the concentration gradient that makes the loop + charged overall
- This + charge creates a Mg+2 & Ca+2 concentration gradient to make these + ions want to flow down via paracellular movement to the peritubulular capillary
CPR: Describe the movement of Na+ & Cl- in the Distal convoluted tubule
- Na+ & Cl- use a symporter on the apical side for reabsorption
- On the basal side, uses active transport- Na+/K+ ATPase to move sodium into the peritubular capillary
CPR: Which side is apical and basal of the cells in the nephron
- APICAL SIDE FACES THE LUMEN OF THE TUBULE
- BASAL SIDE FACES THE PERITUBULAR CAPILLARY
CPR: Describe the movement of Mg+2 and Ca+2 at the DCT
- On the apical side, both flow down the concentration gradient using individual transporters for each
- On the basal side, Ca+ is reabsorbed into the peritubular capillary via Ca+ efflux and Na+ influx (Na+ moving with its concentration gradient which is secondary active transport)
CPR: Describe the influence of Parathyroid hormone on the DCT
- In the peritubular capillary, PTC binds to a receptor on the basal side of the DCT
- This causes the Na+/Ca+ channel to increase action and thus drive more Ca+ reabsorption
- Overall goal is to increase Ca+ levels in the body
CPR: What is Gitelman Syndrome? Describe how this changes plasma and urine
- NaCl channel reabsorption problem at the DCT
- Thus there decreased reabsorption of both ions
- Causes: hypocalcuria, hypokalemia, hypomagnesium, & metabolic alkalosis
CPR: Where do thiazide diuretics work? What do they do?
- Exert their effect at the DCT
- Decrease activity of the Na/Cl- cotransporter and thus decrease Na+ reabsorption to decrease water retention
CPR: What is the reflection coefficient?
- Its value is indicative of what is permeable to a membrane
- Represented by σ
- If σ=1, then the membrane is only permeable to water
- IF σ=0, then membrane is permeable to another substance, i.e. Na+, Cl- etc
CPR: What is the osmolarity of a solution with 1 mole of Na+/Cl-? What is the osmolarity of a solution with 1 mole of glucose? Why are they different even tho each is one mole?
1 mole Na+/Cl- is 2 osm/L, 1 mole of glucose is 1 osm/L. B/c Na+ & Cl+ can be broken up in a solution into separate ions while glucose cannot
CPR Lab: What levels of the sympathetic trunk does the greater splanchnic nerve arise from?
Greater splanchnic nerve arises from the sympathetic trunk levels at T5-T9
CPR Lab: What is the most common cause of hemoptysis?
- Source from bronchial artery
CPR: During dehydration, most water will be reabsorbed at the PCT, why?
- Since 70-75% of Na is reabsorbed in the PCT
- Anytime Na is reabsorbed water will follow
CPR: Where in the nephron is Na reabsorption hormonally independent?
Where in the nephron is Na reabsorption based on hormones or outside factors?
- PCT: Sodium reabsorption is always 70-75% at the PCT regardless of hormones present & thus the same amount of water is reabsorbed here too
- DCT: Sodium reabsorption in the DCT is dependent on what hormones are present, i.e. low or high ADH, dehydration, volume overload
CPR: What are juxtaglomerular cells?
What are granular cells?
Where are they found & what do they do?
- Juxtaglomerular cells AKA granular cells are found at the afferent arteriole and are part of the juxtaglomerular feedback mechanism
- These cells secrete renin
