function of kidney
|
- regulation of volumes and osmolarities of fluids
- regulation of ion concentrations and pH - excretion of wastes and foreign substances (decontamination) - production of hormones (renin, erythropoetin, prostaglandins) |
|
The urinary system: anatomical highlights
|
Kidneys position is retroperitoneal, i.e. outside and behind the abdominal cavity
Each kidney is connected to the aorta and vena cava with short renal artery and vein, posing essentially no hydrodynamic resistance The urine flows out of the kidneys via ureters into the bladder From the bladder urine is discharged via the urethra |

NE effect on kidney
|
afferent arteriole has more A1 receptors...constricts this diverting blood elsewhere
also NE + Epi act on b1 receptors in juxtaglomerular cells, increasing secretion of renin (which increases levels of Angiotensin II) |
|
Angiotensin 2 effect on kidney
|
constricts efferent arterioles
NE + Epi act on b1 receptors in juxtaglomerular cells, increasing secretion of renin (which increases levels of Angiotensin II) |
|
sympathetic stimulation effect on GFR and RBF
|
The separate effects of NE and AgII represent a purely experimental situation, in reality, under sympathetic stimulation, they work together and the net effect is decreased GFR and RBF
|
|
exercise effect on RBF and GRF
|
Sympathetic stimulation and exercise reduce both the renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
|
|
Prostaglandins on RBF and GFR
|
Prostaglandins increase RBF and GFR
|
|
ACh on GFR
|
ACh typically causes renal vasodilation and increases GFR (parasympathetic input to kidneys arrives via the vagus nerve)
|
|
autoregulation mechanisms
|
Autoregulation mechanisms:
1. Myogenic response = the intrinsic ability of smooth muscle to contract in response to increased tension in the vascular wall (more pronounced upon pressure increase) ...when it is stretched, ion channels open and the cell depolarizes causing it to contract 2. Tubuloglomerular feedback = paracrine effect from the macula densa on the afferent arteriole in response to increased or decreased GFR (ATP, adenosine and NO are currently being studied as paracrines) Macula densa also induces renin secretion from juxtaglomerular (JG) cells when GFR is low |

|
renal threshold for glucose
|
300mg/100ml

|
talk about diabetes mellitus
|
Diabetes mellitus - a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high blood concentration of glucose. Urine is sweet (diabetes mellitus = honey-urine disease).
“fasting blood sugar test” : the norm is <120 mg/dL Type 1 (insulin-dependent, juvenile) - insufficient insulin production (pancreatic b cells do not respond to the elevated level of glucose in the plasma). Insulin injection decreases the level of glucose because tissues respond normally. Type 2 (NIDDM, adult-type) - levels of insulin are normal or even above the norm, but insulin-sensitive cells do not respond (suppressed receptor/pathway or the effector protein GLUT4). Insulin injection does little to the blood glucose level. |
|
control of insulin/glucose level by B-cells in the pancreas
|
purple is glucose
grean is insulin: glucose absorption by tissues increased ATP leads to blockage of K+ sulfonylurea receptor leading to membrane depolarization |
|
What happens in response to insulin
|
green is insulin
purple is Glucose arrows are glut4 In response to insulin, GLUT4 is incorporated into the plasma membrane (in many tissues, but most of all in muscles and liver) GLUT4 - glucose diffusion facilitator 1) Glucose enters pancreatic B cells 2) Increased Atp 3) causes K+ channel to close 4)calcium rushes in 5) insulin released 6) insulin causes Glut-4 to be incorporated in muscle and liver cells. |
|
talk about insulin and receptor
|
Insulin is a dipeptide
(21 and 30 amino acids) interlinked by three S-S bonds Isulin Receptor belongs to the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase family, requiring intracellular adapter proteins |
|
symptoms and progression of type 1 diabetes
|
The glucose level hits the threshold - glucosuria
less water is reabsorbed by kidney - osmotic diuresis Polydypsia - constant drinking as a compensation for fluid loss If compensation fails - then dehydration (hypovolumea) occurs, insufficient tissue perfusion, hypoxia and switch to glycolytic metabolism. This causes metabolic acidosis Polyphagia - excessive eating often accompanied by weight loss The cells can not receive glucose, they ‘think’ they are starving. Glycogen breakdown, gluconeogenesis from amino acids, and beta-oxidation of fatty acids are turned on. The latter causes ketoacidosis and ketourea Kidney suffers when the capacity of excreting H+ is exceeded (this aggravates acidosis) The combination of metabolic acidosis (+ ketoacidosis) and hypoxia from circulatory collapse causes coma. Treatment: insulin replacement + fluid and electrolyte therapy. High plasma glucose downregulates glucose transport across the blood brain barrier. This results in hypoglycemia in the brain, especially after insulin injection. It may be severe enough to cause coma and even death. |

all about vasopresin
|
Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH)
- Family of 9 amino acid peptides (with one disulfide bond between cysteines 1 and 6, aminated on the carboxy terminus). AVP (Arginine vasopressin) is the most abundant C-Y-F-Q-N-C-P-R-G Receptors and pathways: V1 receptor in vascular walls (G-PLC-IP3), mediates the vascular pressor response V2 receptor in the collecting duct (G-cAMP-PKA) mediates the antidiuretic action in the collecting duct Synthesis of vasopressin takes place in the Hypothalamus, it is released from the posterior pituitary Vasopressin release is controlled by the osmosensory neurons in hypothalamus. It is released when plasma osmolarity raises above 280 mOsm Vasopressin release is inhibited when BV and venous pressure are above normal (negative feedback from sensory neurons in atria) |

diabetes insipidus overview
|
Diabetes insipidus
passage of large amount of dilute urine (polyurea) drinking of large amount of water (polydipsia) The general cause is inability of kidney to react to vasopressin 1. vasopressin deficiency due to brain disease, tumors, lesions or trauma 2.nephrogenic form is caused by congenital defects either in the V2 receptor gene (X-linked), or in the AQP2 gene (autosomal) Diagnostics: AQP2 normally occurs in urine. In vasopressin deficiency there is a prompt raise of AQP2 in response to a vasopressin agonist. There is no raise in AQP2 in the urine in either of the nephrogenic forms. |

Hyponartemia = excess water or loss of Na+
hypoosmotic dehydration may decrease the extracellular fluid volume (due to vomiting, diarrhea, overuse of diuretics, or sodium-wasting kidney diseases) Typically associated with lower blood pressure. Hypernatremia = increased plasma [Na+] and osmolarity. Hyperosmotic overhydration due to excessive secretion of aldosterone causes higher BP. Hyperosmotic dehydration (more water lost than Na+) occurs in diabetes insipidus Unlike Na+, the extracellular concentration of K+ critically influences EK and the resting potential. Deviations of [K+] upset excitable tissues (nerves and muscles) Normal [K+]out = 3.5-5 mM In hypokalemia ([K+]out < 2.5 mM) resting potential is lower (more negative), tissues are less excitable. Muscle weakness becomes dangerous when it effects the respiratory muscles and the heart. Can be corrected by K+-rich food. In hyperkalemia ([K+]out > 6 mM) nerves and muscles become initially more excitable, then loose excitability. The first symptom is cardiac arrhythmia as the resting potential gets close to the threshold. |
|
cells involved in sodium, potassium, and calcium transport
|
Principal (P) cells in DCT and cortical CD are involved in Na+, K+ and Ca2+ transport
|
|
aldosterone pway
|
The response of principal cells in DCT to aldosterone
Aldosterone regulates Na+ and K+ concentrations reciprocally: higher reabsorption of Na+ is coupled to faster secretion of K+ k+ secretion is ROMK na+ reabsorbed is ENaK |
|
basics of calcium
concentrations functions |
Normal [Ca2+]pl = 2.5 mM
Ca2+ is an intracellular signal, second messenger [Ca2+]cytoplasm = 10-6 - 10-7 M, more in organelles - major chemical component of bones - it is critical for contractility of all muscles - cell signaling - it is involved in synaptic transmission & secretion (exocytosis) - serves as “cement” for tight junctions and extracellular adhesion molecules - co-factor in blood coagulation and many other processes |
|
low vs high calcium levels
what is retention of calcium accompanied by? |
Hypocalcemia typically leads to hyperexcitability
Under low [Ca2+]out voltage-gated channels (Na+, Ca2+) do not gate properly. The threshold potential is lower. Hypercalcemia causes depression of neuromuscular activity Plasma [Ca2+] is closely monitored by Ca2+ receptors (G-protein coupled) in thyroid and parathyroid glands Retention of Ca2+ is always accompanied with excretion of phosphate |

PTH
|
84 amino acid peptide. Released in response to a decrease in plasma [Ca2+].
Acts on the G-protein coupled PTH receptors present in effector cells in kidney, bone, intestine PTH indirectly stimulates osteoclasts, which increase bone resorption. This mobilizes Ca2+ from bone. PTH enhances renal reabsorption of Ca2+ in the distal nephron. Simultaneously it reduces phosphate reabsorption (increases secretion) PTH increases intestinal absorption of Ca2+ by increasing synthesis of vitamin D |
|
vitamin d
|
also known as calcitrol
Steroid, formed by sunlight acting on precursor molecules, then converted in two steps (in liver and kidney) to 1,25(OH)2D3 Stimulated by reduced plasma [Ca2+], via PTH or prolactin Acts on nuclear receptors Stimulates production of calbindin, a Ca2+ binding protein which accomplishes intestinal transport of Ca2+ (by unknown mechanism) Mn: 1)Letter D sunbathing in sun is activated 2)When cows don't fan D (calcitrol: controls cows), it becomes stimulated via PTH or prolactin 3)when it is stimulated it creates a nuclear weapon (acts on nuclear receptors) 4)allows something to bind to cows so they do they do their job again (calbindin) 5)this allows for the cow to be ate by the intestine. |
|
calcitonin
|
Released from C cells of thyroid gland in response to elevated plasma [Ca2+]
Acts via a G-protein coupled receptor Target organs: bone and kidney Prevents bone resorption (when osteoclasts break bone down into its minerals and release it into the plasma), enhances kidney excretion of Ca2+ Stabilizes abnormal bone loss during pregnancy or in osteoporosis |
|
Osteoporosis
what can reduce risk? what can reduce resorption? |
Abnormal loss of bone mass due to decreased bone dep(step..brick)osition and/or increased rate of bone resorption
Bones become brittle The disease has a genetic component, affects more women, comes with age, depends on habits and diet. Estrogen replacement therapy at postmenopausal age reduces the risk Ca2+-rich diet and weight–bearing exercise preserve bone mass Special studies show that mechanical stress applied to bones reduces the rate of resorption. Weightlessness (space flight condition) increases resorption. |

|
diuretics (name 5)
|
Water - inhibits Vasopressin (ADH) secretion
Xantines (caffeine, theophylline) – decrease tubular reabsorption of Na+ and increase GFR Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (reduce Na+ reabsorption through reduction of Na+/H+ exchange). Amiloride (Colectril) – blocks ENaC channels Furosemide (Lasix) - loop diuretic, inhibits Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter Thiazide – acting on DCT, blocks electroneutral Na/Cl co-transport, also leads to increased loss of K+ simply due to higher flow. Mercurial compounds – block aquaporins Hormone/receptor inhibitors: Ethanol - inhibits Vasopressin (ADH) secretion Antagonists of the V2 vasopressin receptor (peptide and non-peptide) cure hyponatremia Spironolactone – is an antagonist of aldosterone receptor. Decreases both Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion at the same time. Is a moderate potassium-sparing diuretic. |
|
talk about micturition
|
Micturition = desire to urinate, voiding reflex
Bladder may contain up to 500 ml of urine. It empties through a single tube called urethra. Urethra is closed by two muscular rings or sphincters. Internal sphincter is made of smooth muscle. Normal tone keeps it contracted External sphincter is a skeletal muscle ring controlled by motor neurons and higher brain centers, so it is under conscious voluntarily control. Simple micturition reflex takes place in infants. After the stage of toilet-training, the simple micturition reflex is usually inhibited until the person consciously desires to urinate. Higher CNS centers inhibit parasympathetic signals that lead to bladder contraction. Inflammations result in higher sensitivity to internal pressure. ‘Bashful bladder’ – inability to urinate under certain circumstances. |
|
kidney diseases
|
Gout, Kidney stones – results of insufficient excretion/higher reabsorption of uric acid. Accumulation and precipitation of uric acid in tissues or in the renal pelvis. Gout has uric acid in tissue
Mn: your stones are ucky and goooooeeey. Proteinurea (albuminurea) – increased permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane to proteins. When the loss of protein into urine exceed the production by the liver, this condition may lead to edema Uremia – accumulation of toxic waste products of protein metabolism in the blood. Correlates with increased levels of urea and creatinine. Symptoms: lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, confusion, mental deterioration, muscle twitching, convulsions, coma. Uremia can be treated with HEMODIALYDIS. Polycystic kidney disease: cross section of pyramids have fluid filled bubbles; bulging points in nephron....polarity of epithelial is incorrect A total kidney failure may require a kidney transplant. ...humans can still survive w/ 1/8th kidney capacity |
