pressure diuresis
|
increased urine volume output
|
|
pressure naturesis
|
increased sodium output
|
|
200mg BP relationship to renal output
|
6x normal
|
|
equilibrium point
|
where intake of salt and water equals the renal output of salt and water
|
|
what happens when arterial pressure drops below the equilibrium point
|
intake of salt and water is greater than the output
|
|
what happens when the arterial pressure goes above the equilibrium point
|
salt and water intake is less than renal output
|
|
the equilibrium point lies at what mean arterial pressure
|
100 mmHG
|
|
two primary determinants of long term arterial pressure level
|
degree of pressure shift of the renal output curve, level of salt and water intake
|
|
how is the chronic renal output curve affected when the kidneys are functioning normally
|
the curve is significantly steeper than the acute curve
|
|
chronic increase in pressure does what to sympathetics in the kidney
|
decreases activity which tends to reduce mechanisms that reduce salt and water excretion
|
|
how do kidneys respond to an acute significant increase in arterial pressure
|
pressure naturesis and diuresis
|
|
autoregulation
|
regulation of blood flow by the tissues themselves
|
|
how does autoregulation deal with blood volume increase
|
increase in cardiac output by constricting vessels in the body, increases arterial resistance
|
|
what is more likely to increase blood volume, salt or water
|
salt
|
|
why does salt increase volume more than water
|
salt also induces both increased water intake and increased water reabsorption via ADH
|
|
hypertensive mean arterial pressure
|
110
|
|
hypertensive diastolic level
|
greater than 90
|
|
hypertensive systolic level
|
135
|
|
volume loading hypertension
|
excess extracellular fluid accumulation in the body
|
|
in cases of chronic kidney injury, why does total peripheral resistance decrease at first, then slowly rise
|
because baroreceptor mechanisms attempt to slow down rise, then reset and can no longer prevent rise in pressure
|
|
fun fact - volume loading hypertension increases cardiac rate, the second stage is an increase in blood pressure and arterial resistance but a return of cardiac rate to normal
|
ten ten ten twenties on your....oh thats not appropriate nevermind
|
|
when is renin released
|
when arterial pressure falls too low
|
|
where is renin synthesized
|
JG cells
|
|
does renin contain vasoactive activity
|
no
|
|
what does renin do
|
angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1
|
|
how does angiotensin II increase arterial pressure
|
systemic vasoconstriction and increasing sodium and water uptake
|
|
how fast does the renin angiotensin system work
|
20 minutes to full effectiveness, sympathetic norepinephrine=epinephrine system works faster
|
|
how does renin-angiotensin system hold in water and salt
|
acting directly on the kidneys and acting directly on the adrenal glands to release aldosterone
|
|
what is the consequence of a large amount of angiotensin II circulating in the blood
|
that the system will be automatically set to a higher pressure level
|
|
how does angiotensin II work on the kidneys to prevent water loss
|
constricting renal arterioles to slow blood flow and causing rapid reabsorption and also to increase permeability of both salt and water
|
|
one kidney goldblatt hypertension
|
initial decrease in BP, then increased by way of renin release
|
|
why does renin levels decrease in 5 to 7 days post goldblatt
|
because INTRARENAL arterial pressure returns to normal, so renin is reduced
|
|
why does coarction of the aorta cause higher BP in upper body than lower
|
blood is carried by collaterals to lower body
|
|
how is aortic coarction related to one kidney goldblatt
|
because reduced blood in renal arteries stimulated renin angiotensin, which raises coartected vessel BP to normal, which makes upper body BP high
|
|
one of the main hypothesized causes of preeclampsia
|
placental ischemia causes rise in nitric oxide due to vascular damage
|
|
neurogenic hypertension
|
when a person stimulates their sympathetics and increases BP
|
|
what effect does a sudden cessation of of nerve signals from baroreceptors have
|
the same thing as a sudden reduction of pressure in the carotid and aortic arteries
|
|
monogenic hypertension
|
congenital hypertension causedb y a mutation of a single gene
|
|
primary "essential" hypertension
|
hypertension that is from an idiopathic or unknown origin
|
|
how does increased fat cause increased BP
|
fat released leptin which acts on the hypothalamus that increases vascular tone
|
|
salt insensitive hypertension vs salt sensitive hypertension
|
means what with HBP cases, a large increase in the amount of salt consumed does not significantly affect the arterial pressure
|
|
what is the first line of defense int he event of a severe reduction in blood pressure/volume
|
sympathetic/baro receptor driven responses
|
|
stress relaxation mechanism
|
when pressure in the vessels becomes too high, they vessels can dialate untill pressure drops to normal
|
|
capillary fluid shift
|
whenever capillary pressure falls too low, water is absorbed into the vessels from the tissues
|
