Study Notes
Ureter Kidney: Function and Structure
- The kidney serves as the main excretory organ with endocrine functions including erythropoietin and renin/aldosterone for homeostasis.
- The kidney has two main regions - the cortex and the medulla, and renal blood flow is approximately 1.2 L/min.
- Glomerular filtration rate is around 120 mL/min in a standard patient, and urine represents only about 1% of the filtered volume.
- The renal excretion of drugs involves glomerular filtration, active tubular secretion, and tubular reabsorption.
- The kidney contains about a million nephrons, with different types located in the cortex and medulla.
- Active renal secretion involves carrier-mediated and energy-dependent transport, mainly occurring in the proximal convoluted tubule.
- Tubular reabsorption is the only way to decrease drug excretion rate, involving active and passive processes, and endocytosis.
- Passive tubular reabsorption occurs throughout the tubule, while endocytosis takes place in the proximal tubule.
- The rate of passive transport of drugs back into the bloodstream is influenced by factors such as lipophilicity and pH of urine.
- The pH of urine ranges from 4.5 to 8.0+ and can be affected by factors like nutrients and urinary tract infections.
- The permeability coefficient for ionizable drugs is proportional to the membranes/lumen partition coefficient and depends on pH and counterions.
- Passive reabsorption extent is determined by the equilibrium urine/plasma ratio and is influenced by factors like lipophilicity and pH of urine.
