200

How does the kidney respond to such changes? 

Decrease in: 

renin secretion 

RBF / GFR 

Vit D synthesis ability of nephron to secrete and absorb 

cannot concentrate urine well 

cannot eliminate drugs well 

compensatory hypertrophy and hyperfiltration of working nephrons 

200

How can we characterize renal disease? (hint: 2 ways!

200

Do F or M have more total body water, and why is this? 

As we age, why do we lose water? 

Males do! more muscle 

B/c we have more fat when we are older 

200

Calcium and phosphate are regulated by what 3 things, and what does each do to the calcium level?

1. PTH - increased plasma Ca from bone

2. Vit D - increases Ca absorbed in small intestine 

3. Calcitonin - decreases Ca level

300

What mechanisms work to either concentrate OR dilute urine? (hint, there is 3) 

BUT WAIT.... theres more.....

water efficacy is specifically related to what? ** hint, its a structure thing 

1. High concentration in medulla (maintained by urea and Na+) 

2. Countercurrent flow in loops of henle 

3. ADH - Mechanism that controls permeability of the distal part of the nehron to water 

4. Length of loop of henle! longer the loop, more ability to concentrate 

300

1. Nephrotic disorders result in morphologic changes of what? 

2. Is there an immune response? 

3. Based on question 2, what will recovery process be?

1. foot processes 

2. No 

3. SLOW! can take months to years to resolve

300

Immune injury involves the deposition of 1. ______ in the 2. ________, which results in 3. _____ GFR and can progress to 4. _________

1. immune complexes 

2. glomerulus 

3. decrease

4. renal failure

300

What are the two forces FAVORING filtration vs the two the OPPOSE?

Favoring: 

1. capillary hydrostatic pressure

2. interstitial oncotic pressure 

Opposing: 

1. capillary oncotic pressure 

2. Interstitial hydrostatic pressure 

300

HYPOcalcemia causes _______ neuromuscular excitability VS HYPERcalcemia causes _________ neuromuscular excitability 

HYPOkalemia causes _______ neuromuscular excitability VS HYPERkalemia causes _________ neuromuscular excitability

HypoCa = increased

HyperCa = decreased

HypoK = decreased 

HyperK = increased

400

Kidneys receive 1. _____ mL blood per min which is 2. ____ % of our CO, with a normal Hct of 3. ________ with 4. _______ mL/min flowing through kidney 


5. _____ mL of filtrate are formed per day 

1. 1000-1200 mL

2. 20-25%

3. 45%

4. 600-700 mL 

5. 120 mL 

400

What is the difference between acute kidney injury vs acute kidney failure?

Symptoms are not seen in CKD until function drops below what %?

AKI = spectrum! 

Acute renal failure = SIG LOSS of renal function! (with high Cr/BUN levels, oliguria) 

25%

400

Acute glomerulonephritis - How can it present? (HINT: symptoms, lab tests show?) VS

SEVERE glomerulonephritis: what does the pt present with here? What's the urine output like? 

ACUTE = range of sx! can have mild changes in urine and asx or SX, HTN, edema

SEVERE = oliguria! edema, weight gain 

400

Localized edema vs general vs dependent 


What can someone be at risk for as edematous fluid becomes trapped and builds up?

Localized = limited to one site or organ system 

General = uniform distribution 

dependent = goes w gravity 

DEHYDRATION! ooo.... that reminds me, everyone take a sip of water 

400

Volatile acids are 1.  _____ acids, they are eliminated as 2.  _______ and formed 3. ______ from the hydration of CO2

Non-volatile acids are 1. ____ acids, they are produced from incomplete metabolism of 2. ____ and eliminated by 3. ______

1. respiratory, 2. CO2, carbonic acid

1. metabolic 2. proteins, carbs, fat 3. kidney

500

THIS IS A DOOZY BUT U GOT IT! AND WILLIE DONT BOG - For each diuretic, tell me its mechanism of action? 

1. Osmotic diuretic 

2. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor 

3. Loop Na+ or Cl transport inhibitor 

4. Aldosterone antagonist 

5. Aquaretic 

1. Not absorbed, so water is attracted to it osmotically = water secreted 

2. Blocks H+ secretion and thus you do not reabsorb Na+ and bicarb 

3. Blocks reabsorption of Na, K, and Cl in descending loop 

4. Blocks aldosterone, so Na+ secreted and K+ retained 

5. Blocks ADH 

500
Give me 1 for each 

1. condition that increases capillary hydrostatic pressure

2. condition a/w protein loss or decreased production 

3. Increased capillary permeability

4. condition causing lymphatic obstruction 

1. venous obstruction, increased Na and H2O 

2. less production (liver dz, malnutrition), loss = nephrotic syndrome, burns 

3. inflammation or infection! trauma

4. tumor or infection

500

CHRONIC glomerulonephritis presents after 1. ___ years, progressing to 2. ______ with a progression to 3. ________

The sediment will show:

1. 10-20 years 

2. Nephrotic 

3. End stage renal disease 

waxy casts!

500

PREDICT what will happen if I put a red blood cell into...

1. Water

2. 0.9% NaCl

3. 3% saline

1. BURST! cell has more solutes = water moves in 

2. NOTHING! NaCl is isotonic and similar to normal body fluids 

3. SHRINK! 

500

At a pH of 1. _____, the ratio of bicarb to carbonic acid is 2.______

SOLVE:
