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
