Define filtration
both nutrients and waste move from glomerulus to Bowman's capsule by high pressure glomerulus
In Reabsorption, chiefly _____ moved from _____ to ______, often done by active transport
nutrients
tubule to blood
In secretion, chiefly _____ move from _____ to ______ at any point after the Bowman's capsule. Often done by active transport.
waste products or foreign materials
blood into tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule is where _____ ______ are reabsorbed including _____% of________. Also, when ____ ion is reabsorbed, either ____ ion or ______ is reabsorbed with it to maintain ______ _______. Some secretion also occurs here.
most substances
100% of nutrients
Cl- or HCO3- is reabsorbed
maintain electrical balance.
The upper portion of the loop of _____ actively reabsorbs ____ and ____ ions
Cl-
Na+
The distal convoluted tubule secretion and reabsorption is influenced by what chemical
aldosterone
Aldosterone works in the _________ part of the kidney. What Ions does it influence, and how?
Distal convoluted tubule
When aldosterone is present, Na+ is reabsorbed, while either K+ or H+ is secreted.
Why would K+ depletion cause systemic alkalosis?
-
The collecting tubule is under the control of what chemical.
Antidiuretic hormone [ADH]
When blood is too diluted (thin/watery), is more less ADH released
Less ADH is released
What is SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate ADH) and what causes it
Occurs when excessive levels of ADH are produced. It causes the body to retain water and certain electrolytes in the blood may fall.
Some causes: meningitis, encephalitis, brain tumors, lung diseases, some medications, hypothalamus or pituitary gland damage.
The two systems involved in acid-base balance are ______ and _______
Respiratory system
Kidney
Bicarbonate Buffer System

CO2 +_____ <---> ______ <----> __ + ______ + _____
CO2 + H2O <--> Carbonic Acid H2CO3 <--> Bicarbonate ion [H+] + [HCO3-] + [Na+]
The respiratory system can correct for alkalosis by ________ respiratory rate which will retain ______ gas.
Decreases respiratory rate
Retains CO2 gas
The kidney corrects for alkalosis by eliminating excess ______ by reabsorbing less ______ and more _____.
excess bicarbonate
bicarbonate
more chloride
The respiratory system corrects for acidosis by
Increases respiratory rate, removes CO2, and therefore carbonic acid
**Note: effectiveness depends on the amount of bicarbonate already in the system because carbonic acid in turn comes from bicarbonate ion combining with excess hydrogen ion in the body fluids
The kidney corrects for acidosis by ________ more bicarbonate ion (instead of ______ ion) in the ________ tubule.
Kidney actively secretes more ____ instead of ___ in the distal tubule
reabsorbing more bicarbonate
(instead of Cl- ion) in the proximal tubule
more H+ instead of K+
The kidney may cause acid-base imbalances if it malfunctions or a _______ is given
a diuretic is given
Define Edema
It is the accumulation of fluid in bodily tissues or a body cavity
Causes of edema include


Hint, ce, ape, ld, rd, p
Cardiac edema (congestive heart failure)
Acute Pulmonary Edema
Liver Disease
Renal Disease (Kidney)
Pregnancy (caution: some diuretics may be teratogenic)
Caution of using a diuretics include women that are _______. Also ______ depletion, especially if patients is on digitalis.
Pregnant
Potassium depletion
Diuretics increase the rate of urine flow, but also alter the ___ and the ____ _________ of both the urine and the blood.
pH
Ionic composition
3 ways diuretics work include
1. Osmotically hold water (agents like Mannitol)
2. Increase glomerular filtration rate (vasodilation) * Not a primary MOA - caused by other drugs, like Xanthines
3.Direct or indirect inhibition of ion reabsorption (Na+, Cl-, or HCO3-)
The primary mechanism of action of all diuretics is
Direct or indirect inhibition of ion reabsorption (Na+, Cl-, or HCO3-)
The proximal tubule inhibits reabsorption of _______. Name 2 agents that affect the proximal tubule.
HCO3-
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Thiazides
extra Na+ entering the distal tubule may cause ____ ion depletion
K+ depletion
Potassium sparing diuretics affect the _______ convoluted tubule.
Name 2 ways to do this
Distal convoluted tubule
Spironolactone
Direct action on the tubule
spironolactone is a/an ________ antagonist. It causes _____ ion diuresis and _____ ion retention
Aldosterone antagonist
Causes Na+ diuresis and K+ retention
Thiazides are most commonly used because (3)
Oral use is convenient
Effective over extended periods of time
Relatively low toxicity
Thiazides MOA inhibits _____ reabsorption from the ___ tubule and ____ ion from the ____ portion of the loop of Henle.
It also relaxes.......
HCO3-
proximal tubule
Cl- ion
ascending
Relaxes blood vessel smooth muscles = higher filtration
Thiazides are less likely to cause an acid-base imbalance because of ____ loss is balanced by ____ secretion and ___ loss.
HCO3- loss
H+ secretion
Cl- loss
Thiazides may a ____ ion or _____ ion depletion
Potassium
Chloride
Therapeutic uses of Thiazides include (4)
Essential hypertension
Fluid retention
Acute pulmonary edema
Sometimes used in pregnancy (not teratogenic but *Cautions though)
Thiazides and pregnancy use
