What is normal GFr
120 ml/min or 180 l/day.
Where is RBF directed?
More than 90% of renal blood flow
(RBF) is directed to the renal cortex and courses through glomeruli
Ultrafiltrate
Water and electrolytes
PGC
glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure

Force promoting filtration!
Pi-bs
Colloid Osmotic pressure in the bowmans capsule

Favors filtration
Pt
Proximal tubule (bow mans space) hydrostatic pressure

Force opposing filtration
Pi-Gc
colloid osmotic pressure in glomerular capillaries

Force opposing filtration
What two factors mostly contribute to GFR (sngfr)w
balance between the hydrostatic pressure gradient, P (the predominant force driving filtration)
and glomerular capillary colloid osmotic pressure, Pi-GC.
Capillary surface area under control of
Mesengial cells
Pressure in the glomerular capillary is how much of the systemic pressure
1/2 butnhigher than peripheral blood capillaries
Step down in pressure
change in the afferent arteriole pressure and the capillary pressure (approx. half)
Afferent arteriole affected by:

Efferent arteriole affected by:
prostaglandins, NO

Angiotensin-2
NSAIDS do
impair prostaglandin synthesis so you block afferent vasodilation and prevent autoregulation
ACE-Inhibitors do
block constriction of efferent arterioles and prevent autoregulation
what charge does the basement membrane have
negative
is clearance better for a positive or negative ion
positive
filtered load = urinary excretion for which substance
inulin

filtered load: Cx X Px
urinary excretion: Ux X V
Inulin
freely filtered but not reabsorbed
PAH
freely filtered and secreted
(no PAH in renal venous blood)
RPF=
Clearance of PAH
RBF=
RPF/ 1-Hct
GFR=
120 ml/min
RPF=
600 ml/min
Filtration Fraction
20%, 20% of renal blood flow is filtered
In heart failure what happens to GFR and RBF
GFR usually stays the same, RBF goes down so FF goes up
increase in colloid osmotic pressure (pi-gc) due to...

and leads to...
high FF

increased reabsorption of sodium and water from the tubule
Blocks to anionic charge
endothelial cells
True RPF is 10% higher than
effective RPF (Cpah estimates effective RPF)
when Cin > Cx there is a net

when Cx> Cin there is a net
reabsoprtion

secretion
RBF
RPF / 1-Hct
