What is renal threshold?renal threshold for glucose? |
Plasma concentration at which the substance first start appearing in urine (denoting the least efficient nephron),200 mg pwrcent or 200 mg/dl |
|
|
What is transport maximum?transport maximum of glucose? |
Transport maximum is the plasma glucose concentration at which the most efficient nephron also gets saturated and can't reabsorb and so flat line of reabsorbtion curve occurs for further increase in plasma concentration ..,350mg percent |
|
|
What is splay in glucose reabsorption curve and glucose excretion curve?reason for splay ? |
Difference between renal threshold and trasport maximum (the curve is bend from linear hear and after that becomes flat).heterogenecity of nephrona in kidney and low affinity of glucose transporter. |
|
|
Sodium absorption in nephron depends on? |
Concentration gradient generated by sodium potassium ATPase pump and the tubular flow (increased GFR means more flow and the sodium transporters can't take enough sodium due to high flow) |
