ICF vs ECF
vs Interstitial and intracellular
fluid compartments
TBW = 60% bw
ICF = 2/3 tbw = 40%
EFF = 1/3 tbw = 20%
*Interstitial = 3/4
*plasma= 1/4
Measuring ECF
Mannitol
too large to enter ICF
sulfate, inulin
Measuring Plasma
Evans Blue
binds to serum albumin
RISA - radioidinated serum albumin
RBF and autoregulation
renal blood flow is 25% of CO
Mechanisms are there to attempt to keep RBF constant
1. Myogenic reg - renal arterioles contract in response to stretch
2. Tubuloglomerular fdbk: macula densa senses incr fluid delivery constricts the afferent arteriole.
measuring RPF
measured by PAH which is fully filtered and secreted.
Cl of PAH measures effective RPF and underestimates true RPF by 10%
measuring RBF
RBF = RPF/(1-HCT)
Inulin
for measuring GFR because it is filtered but not secr or reabsorbed.
Filtration fraction
FF = GFR/RPF
nl is 20%
Rest of RPF leaves via efferent arteriole and becomes the peritubular circ
Glomerular Barrier
Capillary Endothelium
Basement membrane
Foot of podocytes
Anionic glycoproteins line filtration barrier to keep proteins from filtering out.
Glomerular capillary oncotic press
Increases along the length of the glom cap because of the incr in protein as water filters out.
Filtered load
Excretion rate
GFR x Plama []
V(ml/min) x [urine]
Glucose reabsorption
Na-Glucose cotransport in PCT
up to 250mg/dl all reabsorbed (threshold)
over 350mg/dl transporters are all saturated = Tm
Splay: region between threshold and Tm - due to heterogeneity of nephrons.
Secreted PAH Tm
Secr of PAH occurs from peritubular cap blood into tubular fluid via Carriers in Proximal tube.
AT LOW CONC of PAH secr increases with plasma conc.
Until Tm. After that the curve flattens and matches filtration curve.
PAH Cl approximates RPF at conc lower than Tm
[TF/P]inulin
Inulin freely filtered and not secr or reabsorbed
increases as water is being reabsorbed.
Frax of filtered water that has been reabsorbed = 1-1/[Tf/P]inulin
[Tf/P]x / [Tf/P]inulin
frax of filtered load remaining at any point along the nephron.

acidosis vs alkalosis
prinicple cells:
depends on gradient:
Dietary K+, aldo, acid-base status, urine flow rate.
Passive secr into lumen based on electrical chemical gradient
Aldo works by stim Na/K ATPase leading to incr K+ in cell-> incr secr gradient
Acidosis - decr K+ secr
Alkalosis - incr K+ secr
Urea
50% reabsorbed in PCT
only the inner medullary collecting ducts are permeable via ADH
Leads to urea recycling creating the CORTICOPAPILLARY OSMOSTIC GRADIENT
Phosphate
85% reabsorbed in PCT
PTH: inhibits reabsorption via inhibiting Na-phos cotransport and incr cAMP. causes phosphaturia and urinary cAMP
PTH
PTH inhibits reabsorption of phosphate at PCT via inhibiting Na-phos cotransport and incr cAMP by stim adenyl cyclase
Stimulates 1alpha-hydroxylase in PCT
causes phosphaturia and urinary cAMP
Incr Ca reabsorption by activating adenyl cyclase in distal tubule.
Calcium
60% filtered
90% reabsorbed in PCT and ascending limb coupled to Na.
Loop Diuretics: Ca excretion
Thiazides: incr Ca excretion
Mg
In thick ascending limb competes with Ca++ for reabsorption
Hypercalcemia causes incr Mg excretion and vice versa
Free water clearance
ClH2O = V- [ Uosm x V / Posm ]
Free water Cl = 0 : loop diuresis
Free water Cl = + : diabetes inispidus
Free water Cl = - : incr ADH
Bicarb reabsorption
ECF volume
AT-II
At PCT lumenal HCO3 combines with H+ (from Na-H+ exchange). CA enzyme -> CO2 and H2O absorbed. CA in cell -> bicarb absorbed into blood, H+ goes to exchange again. Controlled by CO2 levels.
Net Bicarb resorption
No Net H+ absorption
ECF volume: incr leads to decr bicarb resorption
decr ECF more bicarb resorption = CONTRACTION ALKALOSIS
AT-II: stim Na-H+ exchange -> contraction alkalosis
NH3 and pH
NH3 is produced in renal cells from glutamine.
and excreted after it combines with luminal H+ (diffusion trapping)
In acidosis NH3 production is increased leading to more New Bicarb to be made.
Serum Anion Gap
Na - (Cl+HCO3)
nl gap is 8-16.
Incr gap acidosis: bicarb is replaced by something like phosphate, lactate, or betahydroxybutyrate
Nl gap acidosis: bicarb is replaced by Cl-. (hyperchloremic acidosis)
Calcium and respiratory alkalosis
hypocalcemia because H+ and Ca++ compete for binding sites on albumin. Thus incr binding by Ca++ and decr free serum Ca++
Hypoaldosteronism
Decr Na resoprtion - ECF vol contraction -> incr ADH -> hyponatremia
Decr K+ secr - hyperkalemia
Decr H+ secr - metabolic acidosis
Contraction Alkalosis
