Renal & Repro Review Flashcards
(349 cards)
Mesonephros becomes
WOlffian duct
epididymus
Metanephros becomes
uretric bud –> metanephric mesoderm –>
collecting duct
Major/minor calyxces
Renal pelvis
Metanephric blastema becomes
Glomeruli, bowman proximal tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubules
Horseshoe kidney associated with what chromosomal syndromes
Turner syndrome
Trisomies 13, 18, 21
Rarely renal cancer
Unilateral renal agenesis due to
Absence of one kidney due to failure of ureteric bud to develop
No ureteric bud to induce differentaition ofmetanephric mesenchyme
Absence of kidney and ureter
Hydronephros
Dilated or thick walled bladder on ultrasound
Posterior urethra valves
Membrane remnant in the posterior urethra in males
Leads to urethra obstruction
What kidney is taken during donor transplantation?
Left kidney due to longer renal vein
Renal blood flow (10 steps)
- Renal artery
- Segmental artery
- Interlobar artery
- Arcuate artery
- Interlobular artery
- Afferent arteriole
- Glomerulus
- Efferent arteriole
- Vasa recta/ peritubular capillaries
- Venous outflow
Course of ureters
- under/over
Under uterine artery or vas deferens
Plasma volume can be measured by
Radiolabeling albumin
Percentages Total body water ICF ECF Plasma Interstitial fluid
60% total
40% ICF
20% ECF
Of ECF
25% Plasma
75% Interstitial fluid
% of body weight
Basement membrane of glomerular filtration barrier composed of
Type IV collagen chains
Heparan sulfate
Serum creatinine begins to rise when
GFR declines to < 60
Renal plasma flow can be estimated using
para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) clearance
Filtration Fraction
FF= GFR/RPF
Prostaglandins on filtration
Prostaglandins Dilate Afferent arteriole (PDA)
Increase GFR
Increase RPF
No change FF
Angiotension II on filtration
Angiotensen II constrict efferent arteriole (ACE)
Increase GFR
Decrease RPF
Increase FF
GFR vs RPF
GFR: amount filtered
RPF: amount filtered and secreted
Changes in glomerular dynamics (GFR, RPF, FF)
1) Afferent arterole constriction
2) Efferent arterole constriction
3) Increase plasma protein concentration
4) Constriction of ureter
5) Dehydration
6) ACE inhibitors
7) NSAIDS
8) Prostaglandins
9) Angiotensin II
1) Afferent arterole constriction
Decrease GFR
Decrease RPF
No change FF
2) Efferent arterole constriction
Increase GFR
Decrease RPF
Increase FF
3) Increase plasma protein concentration (Fluid stays in arterole) Decreased GFR No change RPF Decreased FF
4) Constriction of ureter
( High hydrostatic pressure inside bowman capsule –> favor blood staying in capillaries)
Decrease GFR
No change RPF
Decrease FF
5) Dehydration (Less filtered or secreted) Decrease GFR Large Decrease RPF Increase FF
6) ACE inhibitors
- Dilates efferent
Decrease GFR
Increase RPF
Decrease FF
7) NSAIDS
- Constrict Afferent
- Decrease GFR
- Decrease RPF
- No net change FF
8)Prostaglandins
- Dilate afferent
Increase GFR
Increase RPF
No change FF
9) Angiotensin II
- Constrict efferent
Increase GFR
Decrease RPF
Increase FF
Three stimuli for renin release
- beta-adrenergic stimulation (beta 1)
- Low Na in distal convoluted tubule
- Low pressure in afferent arteriole
Ureteric bud comes from
Caudal end of mesonephros (closest to feet)
Juxtaglomerular cells located
Inbetween afferent arteriole and distal tubule
Pregnancy effect on PCT
Decrease ability of PCT to reabsorb glucose and amino acids –> glucosuria and aminoaciduria
Concentration at which glucose spilled
Concentration at which tubular reabsorption of glucose saturated
Spilling at 160-200
Saturated at 350 mg/dL
