|
equivalent volume of plasma that is completely cleared of a substance / unit time
inulin clearance = GFR Cin = Uin x V / Pin = GFR |
|
Functions of Nephron Segments
|
PCT Filtrate reabsorption
PR Organic ion secretion tDL H2O permeable tAL Salt permeable TAL Active salt absorption (NaKCC) DCT Active salt absorption (ENaC) CD +/- H2O permeable (ADH) |
|
Transport maximums
|
Absorption Tm :
amt. absorbed = amt. filtered - max. amt. excreted Secretion Tm : amt. secreted = max. amt. excreted - amt. filtered |
|
Isotonic Coupling Concept
|
No NaCl concentration gradients
No Back leak Unlimited Isotonic fluid absorbed |
|
Pump / Backleak Concept
|
Pump rate out = Back leak in
steady state no ↓tubular fluid vol. |
|
Osmotic Trapping Concept
|
Pump Rate = Back Leak
|
|
counter current multiplier
|
amplifies and converts a transepithelial osmotic gradient into a larger axial gradient in the nephron.t
|
|
Determinants of Max Concentration
|
Max supportable horizontal gradient
Length of counter current tubes Flow rate |
|
Renal role of urea
|
Water leaves early DC concentrating urea which then exits from late DC and enters tAL increasing its urea concentration. With each cycle of urea, urea becomes more concentrated until it contributes about 1/2 of the osmolality (i.e.; 600-700 mOsm/L) of the medullary interstitium and papillary regions of the kidney.
|
|
Counter Current Exchange (vasa recta)
|
osmotically equilibrates opposite flows to preserve axial gradients in the system
|
|
Urea Cycle
|
traps urea in the medullary space to enhance interstitial osmolality for concentrating urine
|
|
