05.08 - Disorders of PCT, Water (Gosmanova) - PP, No reading Flashcards
(88 cards)
Hormonal Function of PT
Final pathway in synthesis of active Vit D
Isolated PT dysfunctions are rare but typically result from
disorder of specific transport proteins
Mutation in AR Hypo-P Rickets
Several leading to increased FGF-23; or Na-Pi Iic transporter
What is Oncogenic Hypo-P Osteomalacia
Inc. production of FGF-23 by some tumors: fibromas, angiosarcomas, hemangiopericytomas
2 ways ADH regulates AQP-2
Short-term: reversibly shuttles channel to luminal membrane; Long-term: inc transcription of AQP-2 gene
Plasma Na ~
(Total Body exchangeable Na and K) / TBW
What causes Vit D-dependent Rickets Type 1
Mutation of 1alpha-Hydroxylase
Mutation in PHEX results in increased
levels of circulating factor FGF-23 (PHEX normally downregulates)
When is Normal Osmolarity Hyponatremia likely to occur
HyperTGemia, Paraproteinemia - when solid phase of plasma is greatly increased
To which is ADH release more senstive, Posm increase or decrease in BV
Posm increase: 1% increase in Posm triggers, but takes 7% decrease in BV to trigger
Hypernatremia usually develops if
Thirst is impaired or limitation in acess to free water
FGF-23 inhibits
Na-Pi cotransporter and alpha-1-hydroxylase
What causes Hartnup Disease
Defect in neutral AA transporter (SLC6A19)
Most important inherited cause of Fanconi Syndrome
Cystinosis - Cysteine not degraded normally
Main defence mechanism against hypernatremia
Thirst
Generalized PT dysfunctions are usually accompanied by
cause-specific extra-renal manifestations
Changes in Plasma Na are mainly determined by changes in
TBW
Normal Posm
285-290 mOsm/kg
When is Dilutional Hyponatremia likely to occur?
Glucose in absence of insulin, Mannitol, Glycine
Polyuria is defined as
Incr in urine volume > 3L/day
__ is always present in True Hyponatremia
Impaired urinary dilution mechanisms
How does increase in peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure affect net reabsorption of Na and water
Reduces
Glomerulotubular Balance is the intrinsic ability of tubules to increase reabsorption in response to
Incr tubular load
Macro structure of PT epithelial cells
Microvili (brush border); Basolateral surface is thrown into folds - both extend surface area
