Cards

Term
Increased pressure, increased urine output is...
Definition
Pressure diuresis
Term
Pressure Natriuresis is...
Definition
increased pressure, increases Na loss
Term
Point at which output of water and salt equals intake of water and salt is...
Definition
Equilibrium point
Term
Return of _______ pressure back to the equilibrium point for control of BP by the _______.
Definition

Arterial

 

 

Kidney

Term

Increased volume causes output to exceed intake so...

(four things)

Definition

Body loses fluid

 

Blood volume decreases

 

Arterial pressure decreases

 

Equilibrium point reached again

Term
Two Determinants of long term pressure level
Definition

1. Degree of shift of the renal output curve for salt and water along the pressure axis.

 

2. Level of water and salt intake.

 

 

**Long term pressure changes cannot occure without one or both factors changing**

Term
Increased ____ cannont sustain long term elevation of BP if ______ intake and renal function do not change.
Definition

SVR

 

 

Fluid

Term
Pressure elevation maintained only if _______ resistance _______.
Definition

intrarenal

 

 

 

increases

Term

T/F

 

Water is excreted as slow as it is put in??

Definition

False

 

(rapidly)

Term

 

 

Salt indirectly increases ECF through 2 mechanisms??

Definition

1. increased serum osmolarity stimulates thirst center.

 

2. Increased serum osmolarity---> ADH secretion.

Term

Direct effects of angiotensin II on kidneys...

 

(3 things)

Definition

1. Constrict renal arterioles (efferent)

 

2. Decreased renal blood flow and decrease GFR--> increased absorption of fluid

 

3. increase tubular reabsorption of Na and water

Term

Indirect effects of angiotensin II on kidneys...

 

(one)

Definition
Increased aldosterone secretion--> increased Na and water reabsorption
Term

Causes of HTN...

 

 

(six)

Definition

1. Increased ECF volume

2. Primary aldosteronism

3. Renin secreting tumor

4. Renal artery stenosis

5. Coarctation

6. Essential HTN

Term

HTN d/t ECF...

 

pressure will be??

Definition
>135/90
Term

Lethal effects of HTN...

 

(three)

Definition

1. Excess work load on heart (CHF)

2. High pressure --> rupture of cerebral vessels (stroke)

3. High pressure --> kidney hemorrhages --> cell destruction (kidney failure)

Term
3 ways primary aldosteronism gives you HTN...
Definition

1. Tumor in adrenal cortex

2. increased rate of salt and water retention by kidney

3. Loss of K d/t Na K antiport

Term

What is the treatment for renin secreting tumor?

 

Definition
Surgery
Term

Normal stimulus for aldosterone secretion...

 

(four)

Definition

HyperK

 

Angiotensin II

 

HypoNa

 

ACTH

Term
Why do both kidneys retain NaCl and water with renal stenosis??
Definition
D/T increased renin release from kidney with decreased blood flow.
Term
What is coarctation???
Definition
constriction of aorta between take-off for left subclavian and fossa ovale
Term

In coarctation....

(Increased/Decreased) BP above constriction (Increased/Decreased) below constriction --> ______activity

Definition

Increased

 

 

Decreased

 

RAS (renin angiotensin sympathetic activity)

Term

Coarctation...

blood flow to both areas is normal d/t what?

Definition
autoregulation
Term
Essential hypertension are what % of all cases
Definition
90%
Term
Another name for essential hypertension is?
Definition
primary HTN
Term
Name 5 characteristics of Essential HTN...
Definition

1. MAP increased 40 - 60%

2. RBF decreased to 1/2 normal in later stages

3. CO initially elevated but later near normal

4. Increaced levels of angiontension 2 and aldosterone d/t increase sympathetic activity

5. SVR elevated 

Term
Treatment for Essential HTN
Definition

1. lifestyle changes

2. monotherapy

polypharmacy
