what are the function of the kidneys
-excretion of waste: urea, cratinine
-excretion of foreign chemicals: drugs, toxins
-secretion/metabolism/excretion of hormones: erthryopoetic facotr
-regulation: acid base balance
-gluconeogensis: from amino acids
-controls arterial pressure
-regulation of water and electrolyte secretion
what are some waste products the kidneys excrete
urea
creatinine
bilirubin
hydrogen
what are some foreign chemicals the kidney excretes
drugs
toxins
pesticides
food additives
what are some hormones the kidneys secrete/metabolize/excrete
renal erythropoietin factor
vitamin D3
renin
what do kidneys perform gluconeogenesis with
amino acids
what does excess BUN indicated
kidney disease
what is a normal BUN level
20
what is a byproduct of proteins being broken down
urea
what is 100% excreted by the kidneys
creatinine
what type of metabolism is creatinine metabolized from
muscle metabolism
what time of metabolism is urea metabolized from
protein metabolism
what type of metabolism is uric acid metabolized from
nucleic acid metabolism
what type of metabolism is bilirubin metabolized from
hemoglobin metabolism
what is the byproduct of ammonia
is all of urea excreted in urine
what is byproduct of RBC breakdown
bilirubin
how long does a RBC live for
120 days
what is RBC broken down into
heme and globin
then into bilirubin
is bilirubin conjugated or nonconjugated when it is first formed
non conjugated
where is bilirubin conjugated
liver
after bilirubin is conjugated where does it go
into bile which then goes into the bowel
what makes urine yellow
bilirubin
once liver detoxifies blood, where does part of the waste go
kidneys to be excreted
what drug class is commonly excreted through kidney
antibiotics
what is a common issue with halothane
nephrotoxic and HEPATOtoxic
