Study Notes
Role of Thirst in Fluid Balance
- ECF osmolarity is maintained by Na+ as the largest ion in ECF, determined by solute/ECF volume
- Total body water is controlled by fluid intake regulation and renal water excretion
- Urine osmolarity ranges from 50-70 mOsm/L, influenced by the presence of large molecules like glucose or protein
- Formation of dilute urine involves decreased ADH release and reduced water permeability in tubules
- Renal response to ingestion of water results in increased urine volume and dilution in the ascending loop of Henle
- Excreting concentrated urine requires increased ADH and high osmolarity of renal medulla
- Obligatory urine volume is the minimum volume in which excreted solute can be dissolved and excreted
- Humans have a limited urine concentrating ability, unlike Australian hopping mice
- In renal disease, the obligatory urine volume may be increased due to impaired urine concentrating ability
- Countercurrent multiplier manipulates solute and water in the tubule, trapping solutes in the renal medulla
- Urea is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and diffuses into the medullary interstitium, preserved by vasa recta
- Different parts of the tubule reabsorb water and osmolarity at different rates, with ADH-dependent reabsorption in certain segments
