Reabsorption = Filtration - what
Excretion
Filtration of x = GFR * what
plasma concentration of x

[x]
excretion of x = urine flow (V) * what
urine concentration of x

[x]
Secretion = Excretion - what
Filtration
If you have a negative Reabsorption, then you have no ___ reabsorption,

but you do have ____ secretion
net
Glomerular filtration is largely ___-selective.
non
Tubular reabsorption is highly _____
selective
How do you tell proximal tubule from distal tubule?
microvilli
Tubular cells use a ___-port pump for glucose and Na
sym
Tubular cells use a ___-port pump for H+ and Na
anti
Creatinine is permeable or impermeable to the tubular membrane
impermeable
chloride is transported across the luminal membrane with sodium by _______active transport
secondary
Sodium travels in Both trans and paracellular routes with membrane potential of about ______mV.
-70mV
There are sodium carriers on luminal surfaces in ____ border
brush
Water moves into peritubular capillaries via _____ filtration (bulk flow).
ultra
Tubular cells use a ___-port pump for amino acids and Na
sym
Large proteins are absorbed in the proximal tubule via __________.
pinocytosis
the tubular load at which transprot maximum is exceeded in some nephrons.
This is not exactly the same as the transport max of the whole kidney b/c some nephrons have lower transport max's than others.
Threshold
A uninephroectomized pt with uncontrolled DM has a GFR of 90ml/min, a plasm glu of 200 mg/dl (2mg/ml), and a transport max of 150 mg/min. What is the glucose excretion for this pt?
30 mg/min



Filt of glu = GFR * plasma conc of glu

Excr = Filt - reabsorp
Excr = Filt - transport max
Where does most reabsorption occur?

What is exception?
Proximal tubule

Exception: Mg ion is reabsorbed in thick ascending loop of Henle
Where does most secretion occur?


What is exception?
proximal tubule

exception: K+ is secreted in late distal tubule by principal cells
H+ ion is secreted. What is reabsorbed as a result?
H2O and CO2


(b/c H+ is buffered by bicarbonate, and carbonic acid is split to CO2 and H2O by carbonic anhydrase)
Why is phosphate a good intracellular buffer but a poor blood buffer?
?
As fluid moves thru proximal tubule, what things decrease in concentration?
Amino Acids
Glucose
HCO3
As fluid moves thru proximal tubule, what things increase in concentration
Creatinine
Urea
Chloride-
Whys does Na+ concentration remain constant?
b/c osmolality remains constant
PAH is used to measure ____ flow
RPF
Loop of Henle – Water and sodium reabsorption though _______ exchange.
countercurrent
Descending thin limb is highly permeable to water and moderately permeable to urea and ____
sodium
Thin ascending limb is impermeable to water and has some permeability to Ca++, bicarbonate and ________. Permeable to Na++
magnesium
Thick limb is highly metabolic with active reabsorption of _____(3) through secondary active transport.
sodium, potassium and chloride
Thick limb:

Also Ca++ Mg++ and bicarbonate are highly reabsorbed here. Impermeable to _____
water
20% of filtered water is reabsorbed in the loop of Henle mainly in the ______ limb
descending
25% of filtered Na+, K+ and CI- is reabsorbed in the loop of Henle mainly in the _______ thick limb.
ascending
What is "The diluting segment"?
Early distal tubule
thiazides inhibit the Na/Cl symport where?
early distal tubule
Maximal urine concentration
1200-1400 mOsm / L


sp gr ~ 1.030
Minimal urine concentration
50-70 mOsm / L
the countercurrent multiplier region of the kidney
medulla
Glomerular filtrate is isotonic.
Pre-urine passing through the proximal tubule remains isotonic. Why?
?
What is the urine osmolarity in the three parts of the loop of Henle?
Descending thin limb- the fluid becomes more hypertonic

Ascending thick limb- the fluid becomes more hypotonic… Why?
b. Active transport of ions takes place in the ascending thick limb. This transport is a unique symport system and is a necessary component in maintaining the __________ multiplier
countercurrent
the thick ascending limb is sometimes referred to as a “diluting segment” because of the removal of solute. This label is however is more classically applied to the ________.
early distal tubule
There is an obligatory urine volume.
For 70kg human: ____mOsm of solute/ day must be excreted to maintain electrolyte balance
600mOsm
There is an obligatory urine volume.

If the max urine osmolarity is 1200 mOsm/l and 600 mOm/day must be excreted (for a 70kg human), what is urine volume per day?
0.5 L/day
