Q

Urine formation

A

URINE FORMATION:
**1) GLOMERULAR FILTRATION **

Result:isotonic filtered, protein-free
(this happens in GLOMERULUS)
2) PROXIMAL TUBULAR REABSORPTION

Result: 1/3 of the Glomerular filtrate
[Na] equal to plasma
Zero glucose or amino acids
3) HENLE’S LOOP
Result: hypotonic fluid, hipoosmic
10% of Glomerular filtrate
4) DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE

uptake of Na + on aldosterone secretion of protons, ammonia and potassium
5) DUCT SYSTEM MANIFOLDS
Under the influence of ADH regulates osmolarity

Q

Creatinine clearance

what it is, where secreted, how much secreted

A

CREATININE CLEARANCE
For clinical purposes you can use the creatinine clearance
ENDOGENOUS substance
originating from muscle creatine and phosphocreatine

Filtered and secreted distal level (10-30)
In urine 20 mg/kg/day in females,

22 in adult males
123 ± 20 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in males 114 ± 6 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in female

Q

Assesment of GFR

A

Assessment of GFR

CREATININE: The assumption is that in an individual production and renal excretion of creatinine is constant in 24h.

 • Easy and widespread use in routine diagnostics.
• It should be used the enzymatic method, much more accurate alkaline picrate.

Q

GFT formulas, best, not used, etc.

A

Assessment of GFR
FORMULAS

• method of Cockroft-Gault
(best in the IRC Advanced; tends to be obsolete)
(140- age) x weight (kg): 72 x serum creatinine (mg / dl) x 85% in women

MDRD equation (best in advanced stages in the IRC)

** CKD-EPI Calculator**
(it is the most current, is indicated in the early stages of the IRC).

18
Q

Renal clearance & GFT direct and indirect studies,

advantages and disadvantages

A

Renal clearance & GFR
direct
studies of clearance of exogenous substances (inulin, iohexol, iotamato, Cr51-EDTA)
studies of the clearance of endogenous substances (Ex. Creatinine)

indirect
GFR estimation by anthropometric parameters, anthropological and biochemical

advantages and disadvantages

(varnele) accurate, but
(iksiukas) expensive, long and not applicable to screening

(iksiukas) requires both blood and urine and a racoolta accurate and timed urine
(varnele) very simple and convenient
? accuracy

19
Q

BUN, UREA

A

UREA
UREA = CO(NH)2 PM 60
AZOTEMIA O UREA: 20 – 40 mg/dl
BUN = Blood Urea Nitrogen (Urea Nitrogen): 8–21 mg/dl

BUN
Divide by 2.14 (2 atoms of nitrogen) 60:28 = 2.14

BUN with azotemia multiplies by 2.146

20
Q

The origin, path of urea

A

UREA
Urea originates in the liver from amino acids from muscle tissue from the stomach, the intestines (Krebs-Henseleit cycle)
Urea enters the blood, a part is lost due to extrarenale (e.g. feces, intestinalgases, sweat < of 2 g/day)
The rest get to the kidney where it is filtered and reabsorbed

21
Q

Urea, clearance, GFR

A

UREA
• THE CLEARANCE OF UREA IS APPROXIMATELY HALF THAT OF CREATININE

• MAKE AN AVERAGE BETWEEN THE TWO WHEN THE GFR IS REDUCED
(THAT’S THE CREATININE IS SECRETED, UREA IS REABSORBED)

22
Q

By what UREA and creatinine is influenced

A

UREA is influenced by diet, state of hydration, from catabolism (treatment with diuretics, corticosteroids), intestinal bleeding, liver function
CREATININE is influenced by diet, but it is + constant, and muscle mass, as well as gender and age

23
Q

Fraction of Filtration

A

Fraction of Filtration
GFR: renal plasma flow
125: 654 = 0,192 = 19 X 100
from 654 ml of plasma are formed 125 ml of filtrate that is, 19.2%,
normal values 16-22% increases in heart failure: reduces multiple renal flow that the filtrate

24
Q

Urianalysis

A

The URINALYSIS urine first issued in the morning

MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION
PHYSICAL TRAITS: APPEARANCE, SMELL, COLOUR

CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS: pH, specific gravity, osmolality, glucose, proteinuria, ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocytes
Or sediment MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION: red blood cells, leukocytes,epithelial cells, cylinders, microbial flora, crystals, fungi

25
Q

Urine specific gravity, normal value, ???? wtf

A

Urine specific gravity = density/density urinometro water or Refractometer
Normal value = 1001-1030 (1016-1024)

Depends on the number of solutes, weight and temperature.

Osm (mosm/ Kg H2O) = (PS - 1000) x 40000

40 mosm/ Kg = PS 1.001

1200 mosm/ Kg = PS 1.030

Proteins, mannitol, contrast media can elevate the PS without altering the osmolality.
Ph = vn 4.5-6

26
Q

Causes of acidic or alkaline urine

A

CAUSES OF ACIDIC OR ALKALINE URINE
ACIDE: high-protein diet, metabolic or respiratory acidosis, fever, dehydration,potassium depletion, uratica stones, TBC.
ALKALINE: vegetarian diet, contamination or infection with urease + bacteria,metabolic or respiratory alkalosis, water diuresis, renal tubular acidosis,medications (thiazide diuretics, acetazolamide).

27
Q
