Cards

Term
Active TM
Definition
limited secretory mechanism that secretes substances from peritubular capillary to tubular fluid
Term
Examples of organic anions
Definition

Antibiotics

Diuretics

Antiviral drugs

Cytostatics

Endogenous metabolites

Term

Describe the specificity and transport rate for Organic anions in the proximal tubule

 

Definition

low specificity and maximum transport rate

 

Term

Proteins that are known to deal with organic anions

 

Definition

organic anion transporters

 

Term

How many OA--alpha ketoglutarate antiporter mechanisms are there?

 

Definition
3 (OAT 1,2,3)
Term
How is the alpha-ketolutarate brought into the cell?
Definition

sodium potassium ATP-ase in the basolateral membrane lowers Na+

 Na+ dicarboxylate transporter (NaDC) brings alpha-ketoglutarate into cell

Term
How do OA-s leave the cell?
Definition
Cross the apical membrane with MRP2 or OAT4
Term
What dru can inhibit organic anion secretion?
Definition
Probenecid
Term

Describe the specificity and transport rate for the organic cations

 

Definition

Low specificity and maximum transport rate

 

Term

Examples of organic cations

 

Definition

Cratinine

Dopamine

Epinephrine

Norepinephrine

Atropine

Isoproteerenol

Cimetidine

Morphine

Quinine

Amiloride

Procainamide

Term
What are the four transport pathways for OC+'s to enter the cell?
Definition

passive diffusion

OCT (1,2,3)

 

Term
What drives the uptake of organic cations against their chemical concentration gradient?
Definition

cel-negative potential difference

 

Term

How do organic cations leave the cell? (cross the apical membrane)

 

Definition

Two OC+-H+ antiporters

MDR1

Term

What does it mean that some organic cations are filterable at the renal corpuscle while others are extensively bound to plasma proteins?

 

Definition

Filterable at renal corpuscle- amt secreted is added to the amt filtered

Bound to plasma proteins- limited filtration so secretion is only mechanism for excretion

Term

Give an example of an organic anion secreted by the OAT pathway

 

Definition
PAH- para-aminohippurate
Term
Why is PAH used for mesurement of effective renal flow?
Definition

PAH is not reabsorbed so-

Excreted load= filtered load + secreted load

 

 

Term
What happens as PPAH increases an begins to approach TMPAH?
Definition
PAH starts to appear in renal vein>Less plasma is cleared of PAH>volume of plasma cleaned per minute(CPAH) decreases
Term

Above TM what accounts for the major portion of PAH in urine?

Below TM what accounts for the major portion of PAH in urine?

Definition

Above- filtration

Below- tubular secretion

Term
Why does CPAH approach CIN?
Definition
PPAH get larger  so the fraction of PAH secreted gets smaller
Term
In reality about how much of the PAH does he kidney remove from the plasma?
Definition
90%
Term
How can the actual renal flow be obatained?
Definition
dividing the effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) by the extraction ratio for PAH
Term
What is the extraction ratio?
Definition
the fraction of a substance which is removed from the plasma by the kidneys
Term

 A small V indicate a larger____?

 

Definition
E- extraction ratio
Term
What is an example of an organic anion that undergoes both active reabsorption and active secretion?
Definition
Urate
Term

If urate only represents 5% of total urinary nitrogen what is the bulk of it excreted as?

 Where does the nitrogen come from?

Definition

Urea

Derived from metabolism of ingested and endogenous proteins.

Term
Is urate protein bound?
Definition
No- freely filterable
Term
How much urate is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule?
Definition
more than 90%
Term
What sort of transport does urate undergo?
Definition
bidirectional
Term
What is predominantly he net urate flux?
Definition
reabsorption
Term
What four factors could play a role in production of hyperuricemia in gout?
Definition

Dec filtration rate with maintained reabsroption rate

increased reabsorption of urate

decreased secretion of urate

increased production of urate

Term
When do principal cells not dominate the overall transport of K+?
Definition

when aldosterone is inhibited.

(what would inhibit aldosterone- diuretics)

Term

Is it active, passive, or both types of K+ transport in the proximal tubule?

 

Definition

Both types

bu most reabsorption in PT is passive

Term

What sort of K+ reabsorption occurs in the distal tubule?

 

Definition
active, passive, and cell specific
Term
How do K+ concentration, the flow rate of the tubule, and electrical gradient all contribute determining K+ secretion?
Definition

-secretion increases when ICF K+ is high or TF K+ is low

- increased flow causes TF K+ to be lowered which reseults in increased secretion

-reabsorption of Na+ or poor reabsorption of anions can change the electrical gradient and promote secretion

Term

What effect does aldosterone have on K+ and Na+?

 

Definition
stimulates the secretion of potassium and the reabsorption of sodium
Term
Three parts of hypermineralocorticoidism
Definition

hypertension

hypokalemia

metabolic alkalosis

Term
What is the acute result of acute acidosis?
Definition

potassium retention

 

Term
What is the result of chromic acidosis on potassium?
Definition
potassium depletion
Term
Why can weak organic acids and bases undergo passive reabsorption and/or secretion?
Definition
the nonionized form i non-polar and lipid soluble
Term

Describe the effect of acidosis and alkalosis on weak acids.

 

Definition

Acidosis- excretion of organic anions decreases because they are reabsorbed into the peritubular fluid

Alkalosis- excretion increases because weak acids ionize abd become less permeable

Term

Describe the effects of acidosis and alkalosis on weak bases.

 

Definition

Acidosis- (normal urine)- weak bases are charged and excreted

Alkalosis- weak bases are uncharged and soluble - therefore charged and excreted
