1
Q

Osmotic diarrhea

A

dietary component that is not absorbed

e.g. lactose intolerance (lactose induced), glucose-galactose malabs

2
Q

Secretory diarrhea

A

secretion of fluid and electrolytes from the intestine
induced by secretagogues

think bacterial infection (enterotoxins) affect the movement of ions

does not affect Na abs

ORS with Glu and Na reverses

3
Q

Nutrient coupled Na transport

A

secondary active transport
couples Na influx with movement of nutrients downhill (Glucose-SGLT, AA)
in the Jejunum

Leaves lumen more negative (think Cl transport)

not inhibited by cAMP

4
Q

Na-H+ exchanger

A

NHE3
couples Na uptake with H+ extrusion

increases IC pH, decreases luminal pH

jejunum

stimulated by bicarb excretion into the duodenum
Often associated with Cl-HCO3- exchanger (except in proximal SI)

5
Q

Electorneutral NaCl Absorption

A

adjacent Na-H and Cl-HCO3- exchangers that are coupled thru pH

Na abs b/w meals: ilieum and colon

*electroneutral bc for each H+, 1 bicarb

bacterial enterotoxin inhibit Na K ATPase via increasing cAMP—>decreased Na abs

6
Q

Electrogenic Na Absorption

A

epithelial Na channels on apical surface of the very distal colon
**can work against a large CG: rescue mechanism

still dependent Na-K atpase

stimulated by aldosterone

7
Q

passive Cl transport

A

occurs in jejunum and distal colon

driven by the negative charge left in the lumen by nutrient coupled Na abs or electrogenic Na abs (distal)

8
Q

Cl-HCO3 exchanger

A

on apical surface (aka DRA exchanger-downregulated in adenoma)
one Cl in, one HCO3 out
mostly in LI

9
Q

Congenital Cl diarrhea

A

absence of Cl bicarb transporter
extremely high Cl in stool
high plasma bicarb—-> alkalotic
**specific for intestine

10
Q

Cl secretion

A

Promotes Na secretion

requires activation by secretagogues (low basal levels)
to stimulate Na K pump, Na/K/Cl cotransport, and K+ Channels

+ CFTR to apical surface
*cAMP dependent—>increases CFTR—>increases Cl secretion—>Na secretion—>H2O secretion

11
Q

K abs

A

Passive transport: Paracellular with water (J/I)

Active: distal colon: H-K pumps (rescue) (Distal colon)

12
Q

K secretion (passive)

A

passive K secretion in the distal colon

driven by negative lumen, occurs paracelullar
increased by ald due to more negative lumen

think dehydration—>lumen more negative—>increased passive K+ secretion

13
Q

K secretion (active )

A

colon
basally low
activated by ald and cAMP

Na/K. Na/K/Cl, K leak channels

14
Q

Ca absorption-active

A

only in duodenum thru villus epithelium
require vitamin D to synthesize calbindin, which binds Ca in the cytosol
extruded on BL surface thru Ca pumps and Na-Ca exchanger

15
Q

Passive Ca absorption

A

paracellular uptake
Vit D independent
Jejunum and ilium
Occurs when concentrations in the lumen> ICF
**during lactation, plasma Ca is low=more passive uptake

16
Q

Mg abs

A

Active transcellular: ileum only
independent of Vit D and Ca
**essential for PTH—>decreased Ca transport

passive paracellular uptake in all of SI

17
Q

Iron abs

A

prefer to take up Ferrous (Fe2+)

Complexed with Vitamin C (increases absorption or reduces 3+ form)

18
Q

Hemochromatosis

A

exs iron that can accumulate in the organs
women less vulnerable (think menses)

—>cirrhosis, hepatomas, pancreatic damage, bronze pigment …….

tx:Phelbotomize every few months

19
Q

active transcellular fe transport

A

only in the duodenum

DMT1: cotransport of Fe2+ and H+ into cytoplasm
(also Cd2+ and Pb2+)

Ferric is reduced by Dcytb so tii can be transported

20
Q

Cholera mechanism

A

toxin binds apical receptors on crypts
increases cAMP
increases Cl- secretion by CFTR
Na follows, and its absorption is mostly inhibited by cAMP

causing secretory diarrhea

21
Q

ORS mechanism

A

NUTRIENT COUPLED Na REABS IS NOT INHIBITED BY cAMP

-increasing glucose (or AA) with Na in the lumen will cause an increase in Na reabs and reverse the water loss and therefore the diarrhea
