🗑
Descending loop pf Henle   contain no microvilli-primarily reabsorbs (H2o,Na++/Cl-,HCP3)  
🗑
Ascending loop and beginning distal tubule   protein pumps and mitochondria-allow for absorbption of Na+/Cl-  
🗑
Distal/collecting tubules   baroreceptors monitor osmolarity of filtrate-absorb(H2O,Na++,HCO3)-secrete -low osmolarity(urea,K+,H+,some drugs)  
🗑
Late distal tubules   respond to hormones-aldosterone/ADH,monitor acid base balance of fluid

🗑
Glucose   is almost completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule-maintained until 180mg/dL-Type 1DM(so much sugar enters,reabsorption becomes inefficient=osmotic diuresis  
🗑
Urea   1/2 is filtered in glomerulus,reabsorbed in proximal,contributes to osmotic gradient in medulla-necessary for concentration/dilution of urine-1/2 secreted in distal tubule-byproduct of protein metabolism- (urea not excreted becomes ammonia)  
🗑
BUN test   checks blood urea nitrogen-normal BUN=8-21 mg/dl  
🗑
Creatine   waste product of metabolism within muscle cells-normal level=0.6-1.2 mg/dL, larger than urea so its not reabsorbed  
🗑
Direct indicator of GFR   blood level of creatine and urea  
🗑

🗑
ACE-Angiotensin converting enzyme   found in lumen of most vessels and high in the lungs-converts angio I to Angio II  
🗑
Angiotensin II   potent vasoconstrictor-stimulates production of aldosterone=kidneys reabsorb Na+=intravascular volume is maintained

🗑

🗑
1.Prerenal ARF   insufficient bld supply to kidney 40-80%or ARf,reversible.if GFR not maintained=metabolic acidosis(H+ retained),Hyperkalemia occurs (K+ retained)-GFR decreases, nephron tubular cells become ischemic-causes by :Organ problems that originate prior to kidney  
🗑
Prerenal causes   hypovolemia,hemmorrage,dehydration, burns,cardiac failure,shock, sepsis  
🗑
Renal ARF   caused by problems that originate inside the kidney-small vesse/glom damage,tubular cell/interstitial damage-often immune mediated,Type 1DM,systemic lupus,  
🗑
Post Renal ARF   Caused by organ problems on back side of kidneys-obstruction of both ureters,bladder,urethra(rapid edema,retention of K+, acidosis)  
🗑

Diuril would MOST likely be prescribed to a patient with:   congestive heart failure

When triggered by changes in the blood pressure, the juxtaglomerular cells release:   renin.  
🗑
When the solute concentration of the blood increases   antidiuretic hormone is released into the bloodstream

The glomerular filtration rate is MOST accurately defined as the:   amount of filtrate produced by the kidneys per minute  
🗑
