At what concentration is the transport mechanism for glucose saturated?
|
300 MG/DL
|
|
Define effective renal plasma flow
|
ERPF = U (PAH) x V/P (PAH) = C (PAH)
|
|
Define filtration fraction
|
FF = GFR/ RPF
|
|
Define free water clearance.
|
C(H2O) = V- C(osm)
|
|
Define GFR.
|
GFR = U(inulin) x V/P (inulin) = C (inulin) GFR also equals the difference in (osmotic pressure of the glomerular capillary minus Bowman's space) and (hydrostatic pressure of the glomerular capsule minus Bowman's space).
|
|
Define renal blood flow.
|
RBF = RPF/1 - Hct
|
|
Define renal clearance
|
Cx = UxV/Px The volume of plasma from which the substance is cleared completely per unit time
|
|
Define urine flow rate.
|
V = urine flow rate C (osm) = U(osm)V/P(osm)
|
|
How are amino acids cleared in the kidney?
|
Reabsorption occurs by at least 3 distinct carrier systems, with competitive inhibition within each group
|
|
How do NSAIDs cause renal failure?
|
By inhibiting the production of prostaglandins which normally keep the afferent arterioles vasodilated to maintain GFR
|
|
How high can the osmolarity of the medulla reach?
|
1200-1400 mOsm
|
|
How is ICF measured?
|
ICF = TBW - ECF
|
|
How is interstitial volume measured?
|
Interstitial volume = ECF - PV
|
|
How is PAH secreted
|
Via secondary active transport
|
|
How is PAH transport mediated?
|
Mediated by a carrier system for organic acids
|
|
How much of the ECF is interstitial fluid?
|
Three-fourths
|
|
How much of the ECF is plasma?
|
One-fourth
|
|
How much of the total body water is part of intracellular fluid?
|
Two-thirds
|
|
How much of the total body water is part of the extracellular fluid?
|
One-third
|
|
If clearance of substance X is equal to GFR, what occurs?
|
There is no net secretion or reabsorption
|
|
If clearance of substance X is greater than GFR, what occurs?
|
Net tubular secretion of X
|
|
If clearance of substance X is less than GFR, what occurs?
|
Net tubular reabsorption of X
|
|
What 3 layers form the glomerular filtration barrier?
|
1. Fenestrated capillary endothelium 2. Fused basement membrane with heparan sulfate 3. Epithelial layer consisting of podocyte foot processes
|
|
T/F. Secondary active transport of amino acids is saturable.
|
TRUE
|
|
What actions does ADH have on the kidney?

What actions does aldo have on the kidneys?
|
-Increased Na reabsorption in distal tubule -Increased K secretion in DT -Increased H ion secretion in DT
|
|
What actions does ANP have on the kidney?
|
Decreased Na reabsorption -Increased GFR
|
|
What actions does PTH have on the kideny?
|
-Increased Ca reabsorption -Decreased phosphate reabsorption -Increase 1,25-(OH)2 Vit D production
|
|
What activates 1 alpha-hydroxylase?
|
PTH
