(334 cards)
urinary system
two kidneys
two ureters
urinary bladder
urethra
where do the kidneys lie?
on the rear wall of abdomen
T12-L3 level
how much cardiac output do the kidneys receive?
20%
what are the primary functions of the kidneys?
filter blood and produce urine
regulation of plasma ionic composition
regulation of plasma volume
regulation of plasma osmolarity
regulation of plasma hydrogen ion concentration
what are the secondary functions of the kidney?
secrete erythropoietin
secrete renin
activate vitamin D3
what does a nephron consist of?
renal corpuscles
renal tubule
superficial/cortical nephron
entirely within cortex
juxtamedullary nephron
15-20% of all
what is the first step in formation of urine?
glomerular filtration
names for the fluid that is filtered
filtrate
glomerular filtrate
ultrafiltrate
what does filtrate consist of?
water and small solutes
does not have:
blood cells and proteins
what are the starling forces
two hydrostatic and two oncotic pressures
what forces favor filtration?
glomerular HP
bowman’s OP
what forces oppose filtration?
bowman’s HP
glomerular OP
what is oncotic pressure?
pressure due to the presence of proteins in the blood
what GFR is considered kidney failure?
less than 15%
filtration
bulk flow of protein free plasma from glom capillaries into bowman’s capsule
reabsorption
water and solutes reabsorbed from glomular filtrate into peritubular capillary
secretion
net result of processes of filtration, reabsorption and secretion
normal values for routine urinalysis
color - yellow amber
appearance - clear to slightly hazy
volume - 600-2500ml/24 hrs
glucose - neg
ketones - neg
protein - neg
RBC - neg
WBC - neg
GFR (glomular filtration rate)
very timed manner of collecting blood and urine
now using estimated GFR
serum creatinine
waste product of muscle metabolism
if SC doubles, GFR has fallen to 1/2
blood urea nitrogen
end product of protein metabolism
indicator of liver and kidney function
2/3rd renal function lost before sig rise
possible etiologies with proteinuria
renal failure
nephrotic syndrome preeclampsia
renal artery/vein thrombosis
glomerular disease
tubulopathy
