36
Q

A

Symporter

37
Q

What class of transporter moves things in a bidirectional way

A

Antiporter

38
Q

Billy bob the bodybuilder takes a shit ton of amino acid supplements when he works out. He calls you his favorite CRNA and asks what happens to the kidney when you take a shit ton of amino acids

A

Increased levels of Amino acids cause the Sodium amino acid transport to go into overdrive. This cause the pump to pump more sodium into the tubular cells and reduces Na concentrations after the proximal tubule. The Macula densa will react and relax AA and constrict EA because it thinks GFR is to low. Prolonged elevated GFR wears out nephrons

39
Q

How do we calculate the filtered load for glucose?

A

Volume filtered X concertation of glucose
1.25 dl/min X 100mg/dl= 125 mg/min

40
Q

At what level of glucose do we overwhelm the kidney’s ability to reabsorb all of the glucose?

A

At 200mg/dl will exceed kidneys’ ability to reabsorb all of glucose, and some excretion will occur so will have urine glucose

41
Q

What is the transport maximum of glucose were all of the transporters are saturated and anything higher than will be straight excreted

A

375mg/dl

42
Q

What transporter is inhibited by the drug Acetazolamide

A

NHE

43
Q

Explain in Crayon why the drug Acetazolamide leads to bicarb wasting

A

Acetazolamide blocks the NHE transporter. This prevents H protons from leaving the cell and going into the tubule. With a lack of these H protons, the body cannot create Carbonic acid and IE cant make Bicarb

44
Q

For our class, what does Anhydrase mean

A

Pull water out of something

45
Q

What is H2CO3

A

Carbonic acid

46
Q

What is the enzyme that breaks down Carbonic acid?

A

Carbonic anhydrase

47
Q

What is the precursor to bicarb

A

Glutamine

48
Q

What other compound is made from glutamine

A

NH4

49
Q

Is NH4 positive or negatively charged, and why is that important?

A

It holds an overall negative charge and that is important because it attract H protons, this is why NH4 is a good buffer

50
Q

What is NaPO4?
Is it positive or negatively charged?

A

It is a phosphate buffer
It is negatively charged and acts similarly to NH4. Both are buffers

51
Q

What is the receptor type that ANG 2 interacts with

A

AT1 also called Angiontension 2 type 1 receptor

52
Q

What exactly does ANG2 in the proximal tubular

A

Increase rate of cycling for NaKatpase pump and increase in the rate of NHE causes more secretion of H protons, it also increases cell wall permeability to sodium, Increase Sodium reabsorption and increases Water reabsorption, which will increase blood volume and increase BP

53
Q

What is the rate-limiting step for the RAAS cycle?

A

Renin and comes from AA granular cells because has them granulated and ready to go in the juxtaglomerular apparatus

54
Q

What all does the liver do for the RAAS cycle

A

Liver produces Angiotensinogen
Angiotensinogen is converted into ANG1 by Renin

55
Q

What enzyme converts Angiotension 1 to ANG 2

A

ACE

56
Q

What is something that ANG 2 does that is interesting to Dr. S

A

is an important growth factor for heart remolding and can be too excessive on the heart, and to much is where the heart is not most happy
ANG2 is also GF for small vessels and a ANG2 blocker can be used to reduce BF to tumors

57
Q

How does PTH increase Calcium levels?

A

It breaks down bones (prolonged can cause osteoporosis in old people) on a side note the amount I have aged this semester might be a good idea to take a Calcium supplement……..
Increases Calcium absorption from the diet

58
Q

What percent of water is reabsorbed in the Thin descending LOH

A

20%

59
Q

Blood osmolarity is around what value

A

300

60
Q

Does the proximal tubule of LOH have the greatest variation in osmolarity

A

The loop of Henle has the greatest variation of osmolarity starts at 300->1200 back down

61
Q

For Dr. S desert lizards, what is their normal osmolarity, and how does that benefit them in their environment

A

They have an overall higher tubular osmolarity of around 2500. This helps them to squeeze every last drop of water since they live in the desert and don’t have much water.

62
Q

How much glucose sneaks in through the paracellular route

A

None glucose is to thicc

63
Q

How many ml/min of water is the Thin descending LOH responsible for reabsorbing

A

25ml/min or 20%

64
Q

True or false the Think Ascending LOH has a lot of water permeability

A

False it is not very permeable to water

65
Q

For the Thick ascending LOH the tubule is positive because of the potassium back leak. This potassium leak and positive charge allow what 2 ions to be reabsorbed via the paracellular route

A

Mg and Ca

66
Q

Where do loop diuretics like furosemide, ethacrynic acid, and Bumetanide primarily work

A

They work in the Thick Ascending LOH
They block the Na,2Cl,K transporter

67
Q

In lecture Dr. S talked specifically about what class of diuretic that is responsible for “washing out” the renal interstitium.

A

Loop diuretics

68
Q

What is the main circulating hormone that is responsible for controlling GFR

A

Renin

69
Q

Relaxation and constriction of the afferent arteriole are dependent on what locally affecting endogenous compound

A

Nitric Oxide
(Sorry about the wording of the question)…..

70
Q

Relaxation and constriction of the Efferent arteriole is dependent on what circulating endogenous compound?

A

ANG 2 and renin

71
Q

What type of cells are granular cells

A

Smooth muscle

72
Q

Thiazide diuretics work in what part of the tubule

A

Distal tubule

73
Q

Thiazide diuretics block what transporter, and what are some of the downstream effects of this

A

Thiazides block the NaCl symporter pump and causes an increased speed of the NaCa 3 Na to 1 Ca transporter, will cause more Ca being reabsorbed, will drop Na concertation intracellularly.

74
Q

Both the Principal cells and INtercalated cells in the Distal tubule are effected by what hormone?

A

ADH

75
Q

What is the main job of the principal cells

A

Control K levels

76
Q

What is the main job of the intercalated cells

A

Controls acid and base levels

77
Q

True or false ADH uses sodium to help control osmolarity

A

False it does not use sodium it uses other mechanisms

78
Q

What happens when aldosterone is released specifically in the Distal tubule

A

Aldosterone receptors on inside of cell, when activated they increase K channels placed in the cell wall and increase NaKatpase pump cycling results in more potassium loss in urine and increases Na being reabsorbed

79
Q

What are 2 examples of aldosterone antagonist drugs and what makes them special

A

Spironolactone
Eplerenone
They are potassium-sparing

80
Q

What are some examples of Cholestrol signaling compounds

A

Aldosterone
Steroids
Sex hormones
Cortisol

81
Q

What are some examples of Cholestrol signaling compounds?

A

Aldosterone
Steroids
Sex hormones
Cortisol

82
Q

So because SRNA are stressed to the max what effects does that do to your cortisol levels and what effects in excess can that have on your kidneys?

A

Cortisol looks very similar to aldo, so if we have high levels it can act like Aldosterone and increase fluid retention and increase BP and lead to K loss.

83
Q

What is the name of the enzyme that is responsible for decreasing the chance cortisol will interact with the aldo receptors?

A

11Beta- HSD(hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) Type 2

84
Q

A

Licorice
This inhibition leads to potassium wasting

A

Mineralocorticoid Receptor

86
Q

Where in the kidney is Aldosterone produced

A

In adrenal cortex- Zona glomerulosa
