Renal arteries/veins
Renal arteries POSTERIOR to renal veins
R renal artery > L renal a

Renal veins ANTERIOR to renal arteries
Both drain directly into IVC
L renal vein = inferior phrenic v, suprarenal v, gonadal v
Thus when renal v thrombosis on L side, obstruction impedes venous flow from L testis --> L sided varicocele!
Fluid compartments
TB weight = 40% non water, 60% TBW (water)

TBW = 1/3 ECF, 2/3 ICF

ECF = 1/4 plasma (measure w/ albumin), 3/4 interstitial
ECF - PV = ISF

Reg osmolarity = 290mOsm
Renal Cl
Cx = UxV / Px

Cx < GFR = net reabsorption of X
Cx > GFR = net secretion of X
Cx = GFR = no net reab/sec of X
GFR
Inulin calculates GFR: freely filtered, neither reabs/secreted

GFR = Ui x V / Pi = Ci = Kf[(Pgc - Pbs) - (pigc - pibs)] thus changes in plasma protein affect GFR and thus affect FF b/c FF = GFR/RPF

Creatinine CL ~ GFR
Effective renal plasma flow
Estimate using PAH clearance
- filtered
- actively secreted in PT
- lowest [PAH] = Bowman's space
- inc [PAH] through thick asc. limb

ERPF = Up x V / Pp = Cp
Renal blood flow (RBF) = RPF / (1-Hct)
Ureteral constriction
Anatomically narrowed @ 3 major points: * Renal stones may lodge at these junctures
1. Uteropelvic junction
2. Crossing external iliac vessels
3. Traversing bladder wall
Filtration
FF = GFR/RPF
thus
FF = GFR / [(1-Hct)(RBF)]

1* site of K+ regulation:
Hypokalemia --> alpha intercalated cells reabsorb extra K+ via H/K-ATPase
Factors that Increase K+ secretion --> Hypokalemia state

2. Aldosterone (reab Na+ at expense of K+)
3. Alkalosis - K+ is lost to preserve H+
