25
(Glomerular Membrane) Bowman's Capsule Epithelium (podocytes)?
Keeps proteins out of urine (podocytes are finger-like projections)
26
Damage of podocytes causes?
Increase protein in urine and cannot be regenerated (ex. hypertensive patients)
27
GFR = ?
GFR = Kf [(Pgc - Pbc) - pi gc]
28
(GFR Equation) Kf?
Filtration Coefficient
29
(GFR Equation) PGC?
Glomerular Capillary
30
(GFR Equation) PBC?
Bowman's Capsules
31
(GFR Equation) PiGC?
Oncotic Pressure in Capillaries
32
(GFR Equation) Changes in Kf?
(Permeability or Surface Area) -Mesangial Cell Contraction or Relaxation -+ ANP, NO (cGMP = vasodilation) -- A pi, Endothelin, Norepinephrine, Epi, ADH (contract mesangial cell = vasoconstriction)
33
(GFR Equation) Relaxation?
-Increase Surface Area -Increase Kf
34
(GFR Equation) Contraction?
-Decrease Surface Area -Decrease Kf
35
Filtration Coefficient (Kf) or Hydraulic Conductance?
-Permeability -Surface Area
36
What would promote an increase in GFR?
Decrease Renal Sympathetics
37
Clearance?
Volume of plasma from which a substance is completely removed by kidneys per unit time
38
Clearance Equation?
Cx= (UF * Ux)/(Px) = Volume/Time
39
(Clearance Equation) UF?
Urine Flow
40
(Clearance Equation) Ux?
Urine Concentration of X
41
(Clearance Equation) Px?
Plasma Concentration of X
42
Inulin can be used to measure?
GFR
43
What are the 6 criteria needed by a substance to achieve GFR?
1) Freely Filtered 2) Not Reabsorbed 3) Not Secreted 4) Not Metabolized 5) Does Not Change in GFR 6) Not Produced
44
GFR and Inulin Equation?
GFR = ((UF * Uin)/(Pin)) = Cin
45
Daily Production of Creatinine is always equal to?
Daily excretion of Creatinine
46
Daily Creatinine Excretion?
-Varies based on weight and gender -Equals creatinine production -May be normal even in chronic renal failure
47
GFR for Creatinine Equation?
GFR = (UF * Ucreatinine)/ (Pcreatinine)
48
(Renal Blood Flow (RBF)) Normal?
1200-1300 mL/min (both kidneys) 20-25% of Cardiac Output
49
(Renal Blood Flow (RBF)) Renal Plasma Flow (RPF)?
( RPF = RBF (1 - hematocrit)) 600-700 mL/min (both kidneys)
50
(Renal Blood Flow (RBF)) Filtration Fraction (FF)?
How much plasma is being filtered out (FF = (GFR)/(RPF)) 125 mL/min/650 mL/min 20%
51
Most Distribution of Blood Flow?
Cortex (1000 mL/min) (75%)
52
Least Distribution of Blood Flow?
Inner Medulla (60 mL/min) (5%)
53
Distribution of Blood Flow?
-Cortex (1000 mL/min (75%)) -Outer Medulla (240 mL/min (20%)) -Inner Medulla (60 mL/min (5%))
54
(Measurement of Renal Plasma Flow (RPF)) Fick Method?
Infuse a substance in a patient to achieve a steady plasma concentration (Xartery/min) = (Xvein/min) + (XUreter/min)
55
ERPF(CPAH)/0.9 = ?
RPF
56
Autoregulation of Renal Blood Flow?
-GFR and RBF are auto-regulated in parallel because need steady blood flow for filtration -Autoregulation fails as arterial blood pressure falls below 80 mmHg
57
Autoregulation fails as?
Arterial Blood Pressure falls below 80 mmHg
58
Changes in Vascular Resistance determine both?
Renal Blood Flow (RBF) and GRF
59
Mechanisms of RBF Autoregulation?
1) Tubuloglomerular (endothelial cells) feedback (TGF) which is a flow-sensitive mechanism 2) Myogenic response, which is a pressure-sensitive mechanisms intrinsic to vascular smooth muscle (directly to cells without brain function)
60
Tubuloglomerular Feedback (TGF)?
-Increased filtering with increased GFR -Increased flow sensed by increased NaCl -Increased contraction leads to constrict afferent arteriole and decreased GFR and decreased RBF
61
Control of Renal Blood Flow?
-Blood Pressure -Intrinsic -Extrinsic
62
(Control of Renal Blood Flow) Blood Pressure?
Autoregulation
63
(Control of Renal Blood Flow) Intrinsic?
Autoregulation 1) Myogenic (macula densa) 2) Tubuloglomerular feedback prostaglandins (increased pressure, increased prostaglandins; vasodilation to increased blood flow to kidney)
64
(Control of Renal Blood Flow) Extrinsic?
-Nerves: sympathetic -Hormones: angiotensin II (strongest)
