Renal

QuestionAnswer
Estimated Renal Plasma Flow = [urine PAH] x Flow rate = PAH clearance (Underestimates RPF by 10%)
Renal Blood Flow = Renal Plasma Flow / (1-Hct)
Filtration Fraction = GFR / RPF
Filtered Load = GFR x plasma concentration

Proximal Convoluted Tubule All Glucose, Protein, MOST Bicarb, Na, H20. Iso-osmotic
Thin Descending Loop of Henle Passive H20 absorption & urea excretion -> urine hypertonic
Thick ascending Loop of Henle NKCC pump (Where furosemide acts) actively reabsorbs salts, indirectly absorbs Mg & Ca. Impermeable to urea, H20 -> urine hypotonic
