Study Notes
Kidney-Related Terms
- Uraemia refers to raised nitrogen concentration in the blood.
- Azotemia is another term for raised nitrogen concentration in the blood.
- Hyperkalemia refers to high levels of potassium in the blood.
- Glycosuria refers to the presence of glucose in urine.
- Oliguria refers to a decrease in urine volume.
Electrolyte Transport
- Transport of one ion can lead to the movement of another ion with an opposite charge.
Kidney Structure and Function
- The proximal convoluted tubules, distal convoluted tubules, and collecting ducts are all located in the cortex of the kidney.
- Glomeruli are not located in the cortex of the kidney.
Kidney Function and Obstruction
- Intrarenal obstruction occurs within the kidney, whereas extrarenal obstruction occurs outside the kidney.
- Prolonged renal circulatory insufficiency, septicaemia, and myoglobulinuria are all conditions that can affect kidney function.
- In cases of intrarenal obstruction, venous plasma from affected nephrons may show decreased glomerular filtration rate with normal tubular function.
