Isotonic Coupling Concept
No NaCl concentration gradients
No Back leak
Unlimited Isotonic fluid absorbed
Pump / Backleak Concept
Pump rate out = Back leak in
steady state
no ↓tubular fluid vol.
Osmotic Trapping Concept
Pump Rate = Back Leak
counter current multiplier
amplifies and converts a transepithelial osmotic gradient into a larger axial gradient in the nephron.t
Determinants of Max Concentration
Max supportable horizontal gradient
Length of counter current tubes
Flow rate
Renal role of urea
Water leaves early DC concentrating urea which then exits from late DC and enters tAL increasing its urea concentration. With each cycle of urea, urea becomes more concentrated until it contributes about 1/2 of the osmolality (i.e.; 600-700 mOsm/L) of the medullary interstitium and papillary regions of the kidney.
Counter Current Exchange (vasa recta)
osmotically equilibrates opposite flows to preserve axial gradients in the system
Urea Cycle
traps urea in the medullary space to enhance interstitial osmolality for concentrating urine
Collecting Duct: Type B intercalated cells
Secrete HCO3-
Alkalinize the urine
Collecting Duct: Type A intercalated cells

- 6 types of fluid disturbances
- fluid volume shifts can be calculated from changes in osmolality (solute content) of compartments and body weight changes
