Formula for clearance
C=(UxV)/P
Clearance
Using concentration
Urine flow rate
Plasma concentration
GFR
Clearance PAH
Filtration fraction
GFR/eRPF
Effective renal blood flow=effective plasma flow/fraction of blood that is plasma
Usually FF
.17-.21
Early stages of DM are associated with what
Glomerular hypertension/hyperfiltration. Give ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers
What is the clearance of a solute
Ml/min plasma from which all of solute x has been removed
To calculate GFR we use 24 hour infusion of insulin. Why
Freely filtered
Not reabsorbed
Not secreted
Not endogenous molecule satisfies those conditions
How calculate true GFR
Insulin clearance
What must happen for clearance to exceed GFR
Tubular secretion
What endogenous chemical clearance equals the effective renal plasma flow
PAH (p-aminohippurate)
How calculate effective renal blood flow (RBF)
ERPF/fraction of blood that is plasma
?????
Fraction of blood that is plasma=1-hematocrit
Filtration fraction
True GFR(inulin clearance)/EPRF (PAH clearance)
T1/2
(.693 Vd)/clearance
Vd =apparent volume of distribution for the solute (I-iothalamate) freely filtered and not reabsorbed but has tubular secretion
Vd and T1/2 then allows the clearance rate to be calculated
Creatinine
Freely filtered, not reabsorbed but some secretion
Error in GFR from creatine
Creatinine clearance-inulin/inulin clearance ???
Why does error increase as GFR increases
As DFR falls the fraction of the total mass of creatinine ending in the urine decreases and more Plasma Cr
Creatine can be used to calculate GFR, but what’s thie issue with old people
Produce less creatine due to a decline in muscle mass—-so can remain normal despite significant decline in renal function
Cockcroft galt forma for creatine clearance (ml/min)
((140-age)x(wt(kg))/ serum creatinine (mg/dL)x72) (x.85 for females)
MDRD formula for GFR
Takes into account race,surface area
Fraction of filtered solute that ends up in the urine
(VxU)/GFRxP
If inulin concentration in infusion is doubled. What happens to
Clearance
U V
FE
Idk
How does glucose clearance change
Doesn’t
Clearance is always 0
If above issue osmotic retention and polyuria and polydipsia
Clearance H20
V-Cosm
=-.88?????
Free water clearance 0
Free water clearance positive
Free water clearance negative
Plasma osmolality=urine osmolality
Urine dilute
Urine is concentrated
