Average amount of urine formation a day

Filtering 170,000mL of filtered plasma to form:



1200mL = 5 cups 'o pee pee

Urine composition:

95% water


5% solutes





1/2 dissolved solids in urine consists of____________ which is from the breakdown of amino acids

urea

Major organic substances in pee:

Major: creatinine, uric acid




minor: hippuric aid

major inorganic substances

Chloride




sodium




potassium

urine volume that is varied due to the secreition of ADH (give ex of disease)

diabtetes insipidus

Define:


Oliguria


anuria


nocturia


polyuria

oliguria: decreased pee


anuria: no more pee


nocturia: pee at night


polyuria: increased pee



•Causedby a defect in the pancreatic production of insulin or a defect in the functionof insulin

Diabetes mellitus

What is the effect of Diabetes mellitus on blood glucose concentration?

increases it

polydipsia is associated with which disease

diabetes mellitus

the increase of glucose in the pee in diabetes mellitus has what effect on the specific gravity?

increases it

This disease is causedby a decrease in ADH production or a renal tubule dysfunction (inability torespond)

Diabetes insipidus

what is the relative specific gravity of urine from someone with:


1. diabetes mellitus: high


2. diabetes insipidus: low

1. diabetes mellitus: high (inc glucose)


2. diabetes insipidus: low (diluted, no more ADH)

Pee containers should be able to collect a minimum of how much pee?

50mL

How soon after collection should urinesbe tested?

2 hours!


if not, it must be refrigerated, put on ice or have chemical preservatives added

PROS/CONS of refrigeration

Pro: decreases bacterial growth




Con: cancause precipitation of amorphous materials- obscures microscopic sediment

Changes in unpreserved urine:


Color:


Clarity:


Odor:


pH:


Glucose:


Ketones:


Bilirubin:


Urobilinogen


Nitrite:


RBC/WBC/casts:


Bacteria:

Changes in unpreserved urine:


Color: dark

Bacteria: inc

2 hour post prandial specimen is used to monitor _____________ therapy in pts with what

insulting therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus

•Usefulto determine the patient’s ability to metabolize a measured amount of ingestedglucose. The urine results arecorrelated with the blood glucose levels (associated with renal threshold forglucose)

Glucose tolerancespecimens

Pre-diabetes: 110-125

Pre-diabetes: 110-125

pre=diabetes: 140-199

pre=diabetes: 140-199

Urinetemperature is take with in 4 min of collection time:

32.5°C– 37.5°C

Bloodpasses through the kidneys at a rate of

•~1200ml/minor 600ml/min/kidney

glomerulus (coil of 8 capillary lobes, non-selective filter of plasma) inside th Bowman's capsule





Beginning of the renal tubule:

Bowman's capsule/space

•Re-adsorptionof essential substances occurs in the

proximal convoluted tubule

proximal convoluted tubule

•Finaladjustment of the urinary composition occurs in the

distal convoluted tubule

distal convoluted tubule

place where •themajor exchanges of water and salts take place

loop of henle

•Nowater reabsorption in __________________ because it is impermeable to water

ascending loop of henle

ascending loop of henle

how big is the filter on the glomerulus

70,000 MW very permeable to h20

•Threecell layers of glomerulus

1.Capillary wall membrane = squamousepithelium•Containpores = fenestrated•Permeability


2.Basement membrane


3.Visceral epithelium•Podocytes•Filtrationslit•“Shieldof Negativity” (cations andneutral pass thru) repels anion plasma proteins

•Maculadensasenses changes in filtrate volume and and Na+ levelsSignalsjuxtaglomerular cells to release ____________

define •Passivetransport




example of three things passively transported in the tubules

Movementdue to concentration gradient or electrical potential across a membrane = gradients




H2O =reabsorption everywhere but ascending loop of Henle•Urea = convoluted tubule & ascending loopof henle•Na+ = passive transport during activetransport of Cl-

•Themaximum reabsorptionabilityfor a solute in the filtrate by the renal tubules

•MaximalReabsorptiveCapacity (Tm)

define •RenalThreshold

•Theplasma concentration at which active transport stops

Hydration= ↓ADH = ↑urine volume (less concentrated/more dilute)Dehydration= ↑ADH =↓urine volume (more concentrated/less dilute)

Hydration= ↓ADH = ↑urine volume (less concentrated/more dilute)Dehydration= ↑ADH =↓urine volume (more concentrated/less dilute)

Whats the diff between tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion

Tubularreabsorption: substances removed from filtrate (urine) and returned to blood




Tubular Secretion:substances move from blood (peritubular capillaries) to the tubular filtrate(urine)
