48 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Edema is caused by
fluid retention --> high BV --> high BP
Left heqrt failure
SOB caused by high pressure in lungs
Right Heart failure
High pressure in capillaries causes edema mainly in the feet
Flow through kidney
Renal afferent--> glomerulus--> efferetn artery --> PCT--> LH--> DCT-->CD
Vesa recta
maintians the concentration gradient in the medulla

has selective water and sodium re-absorption
Total ECF volume
12.5 L
GFR
125 mL/min

Total ECV is filtered every 100 min per

100 mL of urine is produced every 100 min
PCT
Important site of glucose, bicarb, amino acids, organic solutes regulation (67% Na re-absorbed here)

Cl and water follow passively to maintain electrical and osmolar neutrality

Site of organic acid secretion (uric acid, some diuretics, some antibiotcs (pen))

organic base secretin occurs in early/middle PCT (creatinine, procainamide)

almost all glucose and 99% filtered electroytes re-absorbed
Descending loop of henle
descends it to the medullla of kidney

is permeable to water impermeable to Na and Cl

tubular osmolartiy increases--> increases salt concentration
Ascending loop of henle
cells impermeable to water

cells activley reabsorb Na, Cl and K= Na/Cl/K cotransport system

a major site of Na reabsorption in nephron (besides PCT)

K back diffusion into lumen=driving force for Ca and Mg reabsorption
DCT
Na actively reabsorbed, Cl co-transported and water follows passively

at terminal end, have Na/K exchange sites--> fine-tuning K content in urine

Na reabsorption and K secretion stimulated by aldosterone

Ca reabsorption occurs by apical Ca channel and Na/Ca exchanger
Percentage of blood plasma entering kidneys
16-20%
CD
Primary site K secretion
ADH (vassopressin) --> increase premeability of duct to water--> increase water channels-->increase water reabsorption
Main site for diuretics
ascending loop of henle

DCT
Diuretics ususlally act at lumin surface to:
prevent water reabsorption

influence specfic transporter mechanisms

act on enzymes or hormone receptors in renal epithelial cells
Generalizations about diuretic agents
Must be secreted into the renal tubule to act on transporters

changes in Na reabsorption affect water and K reabsorption

most water and Na reabsorption occurs in the PCT

most effective diuretic agents act more in the distal tubule regions
When Na delivery to the CD increases what happens to K?
stimulates K secretion

increase in Na reabsorption causes an increase in K loss
Osmotic Diuretic Drug names
mannitol
urea
glycerin
Osmotic diuretic solutes are:
freely-filterable by the glomerulus so it easily goes from the blood into the tubule

undergo limited renal tubular reabsorption (want inside the tubular so act as a solute)

relatively inert
MOA of osmotic diuretics
Limit water reabsorption from segments that are water permeable (PCT and the descending loop of henle)
intra-luminal osmotic diuretics
non- reabsorbable solute--> contervailing osmotic force

as fluid passes along the tubules, the solute becomes more concentration
countervailing osmotic force of intra-luminal osmotic diuretics cause...
decrease water reabsorption
decrease Na concentration in tubular lumen

decrease Na reabsorption

decrease concentration gradient driving force into tubular cell

increase Na flux from peritubular fluid into lumen due to change in concentration gradient
Extra-luminal osmotic diuretics
non-reabsorbable solute in blood
Extra-luminal osmotic diuretics cause...
increase in ECF volume (because of the increase of solutes in the blood)

decrease renin release

increase renal blood flow

increase renal medullary blood flow (distrubs concentration gradients)--> increases removal of NaCl and urea from the renal medulla--> decreases renal medullary tonicity-->decreases the driving force for water reabsorption into the medulla
-->increase rate of urine flow-->diuresis
In severe hyperglycemia, what would happen to diureses?
Glucose reabsorption exceeds capacity of PCT--> unreabsorbed glucose becomes an osmotic diuretic
Uses of Osmotic diuretics
Extract water from the eye or brain

agents extract water from intracellular compartments--> decreases cerebral edema or decreases intraocular pressure
Side Effects of osmotic diuretics in regards to ECF volume
acute expansion of ECF volume
- osmotic agent administration --> increases ECF osmolarity--> increases ECF volume
- problem in patients with CHF or PE (they already have expanded blood volume)
Side Effects of osmotic diuretics
increase ECF volume
HA, N/V (common)
hyponatremia (decrease Na concentraions)
hypersensitivity reactions
dehydration/hypernatremia (if treated for extended periods of time, need fluid replacement)
How are osmotic diuretics usulaly administered?
parenterally

isosorbide can be given orally
What side effect would you anticipate with orally administered mannitol?
Osmotic diarrhea

there is an increase in solute concentration in the GI tract--> decrease water reabsoption
Carbonic anhyrase inhibitiors
Drug
Acetazolamide

dorzolamide

brinzolamide
Is CO2 lipid soluble?
Yes, very
What diuretic causes the most K loss
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
what is acetazloamide used for
acute mountain sickness
Na reabsorption is denpendent on exchange with...
H in the PCT
H is regenerated by concerted action of:
carbonic anhydrase IV (luminal membrane)

carbonic anhydrase II (cytoplasmic)
HCO3 reabsorption is dependent on:
carbonic anhydrase IV and II
carbonic anhydrase reaction
CO2 + H2O<--> carbonic anhydrase<--> HCO3 + H

the forward reaction is Carbonic anhydrase IV and the reverse is II
MOA of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
blockade of carbonic anhydrase --> decrease intracellar H --> decrease Na reabsorption --> increase Na excretion

decrease H secretion --> decrease HCO3 reabsorption --> increase Na excretion --> alkaline urine pH (metabolic acidosis)
What are Carbonic anhydrase effects on K?
increases secretion of K in distal nephron in CD

promoted by alkaline urine--> increase HCO3 + increase of delevery of Na to late DCT/CD --> increase lumen negative potential--> increase K secretion
Uses of carbonic anhydrase
limited usefullness as a diuretic because Na not absorbed in the PCT is reabsorbed in the more distal areas of the tubule

metabolic alkalosis (desired outcome sometimes such as for acute mountain sickness to increase RR)

glaucoma

Ca present in ciliary processes

Ca inhibition

Prevention of acute mountain sickness
What carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used for glaucoma
dorzolamide

brinzolamide
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors MOA to decrease aqueouse humor production
decrease HCO3 synthesis by ciliary cells--> decrease aqueous humor formation--> decrease intraocular pressure
MOA of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors to prevent acute mountain sickness
HCO3 excretion--> decrease ECF [HCO3]--> metabolic acidosis--> increase ventilation

decrease CSF fromation, decrease CSF pH --> decrease cerebral edema and AMS symptoms
CNS side effects of carbonic anhydrase
paresthesias (tingling in fingers and toes because of a local increase in CO2)
drowsiness
Contraindications of carbonic anhydrase in patients with hepatic cirrhosis because
increase in urine pH--> decrease trappin of NH4 in urine

ammonia accumulates in systemic circulation

hepatic encephalopathy
Side effects of carbonic anhydrase
CNS

metabolic acidosis: induced by chronic reduction of HCO3 stores

Kidney stones

K depletion --> increase HCO3 + Na in distal nephron --> increase K secretion
Process of how kidney stones are formed from carbonic anhydrase
bicarbonaturia --> phosphaturia + hypercalciuria (Ca phosphate crystals are formed)

alkaline urine --> decrease solubility of Ca salt--> precipitaion --> kidney stone formation
