Body water distribution and measurement
|
TBW - 60% weight - tritiated water, D20
ICF - 40% weight (2/3 TBW) - Indirect via TBW - ECF ECF - 20% weight (1/3 TBW) - mannitol, inulin Plasma - 1/4 ECF - radioactive albumin, evans blue Interstitial - 3/4 ECF - indirect via ECF - plasma Volume = amount (injected-excreted) / plasma concentration |
|
Water shifts: Infusion of isotonic fluid
|
i.e. NS infusion
Increase in ECF volume (and arterial BP) No change in osmolarity Reduced hematocrit and protein concentration in serum |
|
Water shifts: Loss of isotonic fluid
|
ie. diarrhea
ECF volume decreases (BP down) No change in osmolarity Increased hematocrit and protein concentration |
|
Water shifts: Hyperosmotic volume expansion
|
ie. increased NaCl intake
Increased ECF osmolarity ICF water shifts to ECF to match ECF osmolarity (less ICF volume, more ECF) Reduced hematocrit, protein concentration |
|
Water shifts: Hyperosmotic volume contraction
|
ie. sweating
Loss of ECF volume, osmolarity rises ICF water shifts to ECF to match (both compartments lower water) Hematocrit and protein unchanged (cells shrink) [JUST WATER LOST] |
|
Water shifts: hyposmotic volume expansion
|
ie. SIADH, gain of pure water
ECF volume increases, osmolarity decreases Fluid moves into ICF to match (ECF and ICF have higher volume and lowered osmolarity) Hematocrit and protein unchanged (cells grow) [JUST WATER GAINED] |
|
Water shifts: Hyposmotic volume contraction
|
ie. adrenocortical insufficiency (NaCl loss)
ECF osmolarity decreases Fluid moves into ICF to match (ECF low volume, ICF high volume) Hematocrit and protein increased, BP decreases |
|
Clearance equation
|
C = urine flow rate x urine concentration / plasma concentration
|
|
RBF controls
|
SNS and high Ag II decreases RBF
Low dose Ag II preferentially decreases efferents to increase GFR but not affect RBF Macula densa senses increased fluid and causes afferent arteriole vasoconstriction too |
|
ACEi preventing diabetic nephropathy
|
Reduce Ag II effect on efferent arterioles, they dilate and have lowered GFR so reduce hyperfiltration
|
|
PAH, use, RPF vs RBF
|
Filtered and secreted in renal tubules; used to measure RPF; underestimates by 10%
Clearance PAH = RPF RBF = clearance PAH / (1-hematocrit) |
|
Measuring GFR
|
Inulin clearance
Estimate with BUN and creatinine. Both increase if GFR decreases; in disease though this is not useful (ie prerenal azotemia has BUN: creatinine > 20 due to BUN increase more); GFR also drops with age. Underestimates because creatinine is secreted a little |
|
Why are proteins not filtered
|
Size (capillaries are fenestrated)
Negative charge on filtration barrier (lost in glomerular disease so get proteinuria, generalized edema and hyperlipidemia) |
|
Filtered load vs excretion rate
|
Filtered load = GFR x [plasma]
Excretion rate = Urine flow x [urine] Reabsorption rate = Filtered load - excretion rate Secretion rate = excretion rate - filtered load |
|
Relative clearances
|
PAH > K+ (high K diet) > inulin > urea > Na+ > glucose, amino acids, HCO3-
|
|
Removing acids (i.e. salicylic acid poisoning) from body
|
Alkalinize urine, A- acid form predominates so can't be reabsorbed as easily and excreted in urine
Reverse for removing bases |
|
TF/Px ratio, TF/P inulin
|
Ratio of concentration in tubular fluid to plasma
TF/Px > 1 if it is not being reabsorbed or is less so than water =1 for anything filtred freely in Bowman's space TF/P inulin - Tells fraction of water reabsorbed Fraction reabsorbed = 1 - (1 / (TF/P inulin) Ratio of TF/Px / TF/P inulin tells fraction reabsorbed at any point on nephron |
|
Why does reabsorption increase with GFR increase, volume contraction
|
Oncotic pressure at end of capillary blood increases b/c more filtred so there is greater pull back in
In volume contraction, reduced hydrostatic pressure so so favors reabsorption |
|
Sodium reabsorption across nephron
|
2/3 PCT, early via cotransport (glucose, a.a., bicarb, Phosphate, lactae), or antiport with H+, Late via Na/Cl cotransport
TAL - some via Na/K/2Cl- cotransporter, impermeable to water here so dilutes urine Early DCT - little, early due to Na/Cl cotransport, impermeable to water so dilutes; Late DCT and CCT - Principle cells absorb Na+ and water; secrete K+. Aldosterone increases. ADH brings water in. Alpha-intercalated secrete H+ and reabsorb K+ |
|
Aldosterone stimulation
|
Increases Principal cell Na+ and water reabsorption and K+ secretion
Increases H+ secretion at alpha intercalated cells, acidifies urine as binds to titratable acids like phosphate Increases Na/K pump in principal cells to raise intracellular K+ |
|
K+ regulation, distal secretion
|
Varies based on diet, aldosterone and acid-base
PCT absorbs most with Na+ and water, TAL does some with cotransport Low K diet - alpha-intercalated cells H+/K+ ATPase reabsorb. High K diet - principal cells pump out Distal secretion - Increased - High K+, Hyperaldosterone, Alkalosis (more in the cell); Thiazide and Loop diuretics (higher flow rate), Luminal anions (bind up) Decreased - Low K+, hypoaldosteronism, Acidosis (less in cell via H/K exchange), K+ sparing diuretics (block excretion) |
|
K+ shifts between ICF and ECF
|
Hyperkalemia - caused by Insulin def, Beta antagonists, Acidosis (H+/K+ exchange), Hyperosmolarity (water out pulls K with), Na/K Pump inhibition, Exercise, cell lysis
Hypokalemia - caused by insulin, B-agonists, Alkalosis (H+/K+ exchange), hyperosmolarity (water flow in) |
|
Phosphate, Calcium and Magnesium balance
|
Most for all reabsorbed in PCT
PTH - increases Ca++ reabsorbed in DCT (cAMP) and decreases phosphate reabsorbed in PCT (HIGH URINE cAMP) Hypercalcemia - inhibits Mg reabsorption and Hypermagnesia inhibits Ca reabsorption in TAL due to competition for same Thiazide diuretics - increase DCT Ca++ reabsorption |
|
Intermedullary gradients, countercurrent exchange and urea recycling
|
Built up via urea reabsorption in CCT (ADH mediated) and sodium reabsorption. Water impermeable TAL and early DCT help prevent washout; vasa recta also equilibrate as go down (very permeable)
Loop diuretics cause washout |
|
Free water clearance
|
Water balance
Negative - hyperosmotic urine in ADH presence Positive - hypoosmotic urine in ADH absence (or diabetes insipidus) Zero - due to loop diuretic because removes corticopapillary osmotic gradient so cannot dilute or concentrate urine |
|
Contraction alkalosis
|
ECF volume contraction leads to AgII production
Na+/H+ exchange stimulated, more HCO3- reabsorbed Can be superimposed on metabolic alkalosis (vomiting) or metabolic acidosis (diarrhea) |
|
Serum anion gap
|
Anion gap = [Na+] - ([Cl-] + [HCO3-])
Elevated when there is another acid or something present with reduced bicarb (ie. sialcylic acid, keto acids, methanol to formaldahyde, renal failure with ammonium, lactic acids) Not elevated if acidosis has chloride increased to compensate Anion Gap Acidosis - MUDPILES Methanol, uremia, Diabetic ketoacidosis, Propylene glycole, Iron or INH, Lactic acid, Ethylene glycol (oxalic acid), Salicylates (late) Non-AG acidosis - HARD-ASS Hyperalimentation, Addison's disease, Renal tubular acidosis, Diarrhea, Acetazolamide, Spironolactone, Saline infusion |

|
Furosemide, Ethacrynic acid, Bumetanide, MOA, effect, tox
|
Loop diuretics, Act on Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport

|
Chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide, MOA, Effect, Tox
|
Act on Early DCT to inhibit Na/Cl cotransport
Na/Cl wasting, K+ excretion due to high flow (less reabsorbed) Ca++ LESS excrete (treat hypercalciuria) Reduces ability to dilute urine (early DCT is a diluting segment b/c impermeable to H20) No effect on concentrating urine (doesnt affect gradient) Use - HTN, CHF, idopathic hypercalciuria, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus Tox - HyperGLUC, (glycemia, lipidemia, uricemia and calcemia) also causes hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis |
|
Spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride, MOA, Effect, Tox
|
Late DCT and CCT, usually oppose aldosterone effects
Inhibits Na+ reabsorption Inhibits K+ secretion - used to prevent Loop and thiazide K wasting Inhibits H+ secretion Spironalactone antagonizes aldosterone, others block ENaC channel. Spironalactone also reduces LV remodeling due to CHF Use - Hyperaldosteronism, K+ depletion, CHF Tox - Hyperkalemia (arrhythmia) endocrine effects with spironalactone (gynecomastia, antiandrogen) |
|
Renal Embryology
|
Pronephros - degenerates

|
|
Modulation of filtration
|
Prostaglandins (PGE) dilate afferent arteriole to increase RPF and GFR (constant FF) - blocked by NSAIDs
AgII - constricts efferent arteriole preferentially at low dose to raise GFR more and get higher FF |
|
Hartnup's disease
|
Deficiency of neutral amino acid transporter (tryptophan) so rises in urine
Results in pellagra |
|
RAAS regulation
|
JG cells in afferent arteriole (smooth muscle origin) sense low blood flow, macula densa cells in DCT sense low sodium, and B1 receptor activation all cause JG cell renin release
Renin converted to AgII then AgII. Ag II acts on: a) AT1 receptors on smooth muscle to vasoconstrict and raise BP b) Efferent arteriole constriction - raise FF to preserve renal function in low volume c) Aldosterone production to enhance Na+ reabsorption and K+ and H+ excretion. Favors water reabsorption d) ADH release from posterior pituitary to reabsorb water e) PCT Na+/H+ activity to reabsorb Na+, HCO3-, H20 and can lead to contraction alkalsosis f) Hypothalamus thirst reflex stimulation |
