glucose is reabsorbed using
sodium glucose transporters - 2dary active transport
the low affinity SGLT is located in the
pars convoluta
the high affinity SGLT is located in the
pars recta
where does excess glucose go
urine (saturation)
what level of glucose in the plasma will cause glucosuria by increased filtration and decreased reabsorption
> 10-15 mmol/L
what is osmotic diuresis
water follows glucose in the tubular lumen - more urine is produced
which are the long loops of henle that extend into the inner medulla
yuxtamedullary nephrons
long loop nephrons are important for
urine concentration
at the apical membrane of the thin descending limb, what is being reabsorbed
water via aquaporins
how does the thin descending limb concentrate the tubular fluid
no ions are reabsorbed - NaCl remains in the tubular lumen
the ascending limbs are impermeable to
water
effect of NaCl being reabsorbed in the ascending limbs without water following
tubular fluid in mTAL becomes diluted
renal medulla becomes more concentrated
fx of mTAL
dilute tubular fluid
maintain medullary hypertonicity
transporter at apical membrane of mTAL for reabsorption of Na, K, Cl
NKCC
in the mTAL, how do Ca, Mg, and Na get reabsorbed
paracellular diffusion
how does a diuretic like furosemide work
inhibits NKCC - stops reabsorption of Na, Na remains in the lumen and water follows
in the DCT, Ca is reabsorbed via
transcellular channels
at the apical membrane in the DCT, Na and Cl are co-transported via
NCC
NCC is inhibited by
thiazide diuretics
what is reabsorbed in the late DCT and cortical collecting ducts
water via ADH dependent aquaporins
how does ADH levels affect water reabsorption in the late DCT and cortical CD
high ADH = high water permeability and reabsorption
what is reabsorbed in the inner medullary collecting ducts
urea
transport systems at the apical membrane of the CD’s principal cells
ENaC - NaCl
ROMK - K
fx of CD’s intercalated cell type A
secrete H
reabsorb HCO3
relevant in acidosis
