Study Notes
Renal Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion
- Urinary excretion is calculated as: glomerular filtration - tubular absorption + tubular secretion
- Module 3 covers renal and urologic systems, kidney functions, and cell/tissue metabolism.
- Guyton chapters 26-30 are relevant.
- Learning objectives include describing the renal and urologic systems' structure and function and differentiating kidney functions and metabolic regulation.
- Active reabsorption of proteins occurs through lysosomes and pinocytosis.
- Tubular reabsorption is highly selective, reabsorbing a large volume of glomerular filtrate.
- Reabsorption mechanisms involve transport across tubular epithelial membranes or through peritubular capillary membranes.
- Paracellular path involves transport between cells, while transcellular path involves transport across cells.
- Reabsorption is facilitated by passive diffusion, osmosis, and active transport using ATP.
- Transport maximum is the limit of active reabsorption mechanisms. This limits how much a substance can be reabsorbed.
Active Transport
- Primary active transport uses ATP directly to move a substance across a membrane. It establishes a concentration gradient.
- Secondary active transport uses the energy stored in the concentration gradient established by primary active transport to move another substance across the membrane.
- Co-transport moves substances in the same direction.
- Counter-transport (or exchange) moves substances in opposite directions.
Tubular Reabsorption Mechanism Types
- Passive water reabsorption occurs in the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and collecting tubule. It depends on osmotic gradients.
- Passive Chloride reabsorption uses a passive mechanism.
- Waste reabsorption: Urea and creatinine are actively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, using several mechanisms.
Regulation of Tubular Reabsorption
- Glomerulotubular balance: Increased tubular load leads to increased reabsorption, ensuring appropriate amounts of substances are reabsorbed.
- Peritubular capillary and renal interstitial fluid physical forces: Hydrostatic and osmotic pressures influence reabsorption.
- Arterial pressure and hormonal control also regulate reabsorption.
Hormonal Control of Reabsorption
- Hormones: Aldosterone, Angiotensin II, Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), Atrial natriuretic peptide, and Parathyroid hormone impact tubular reabsorption. Each hormone has specific effects based on the type of cell and target.
Renal Clearance
- Renal clearance is determined from the rate at which a substance is excreted.
- Inulin clearance is used to calculate GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). A useful marker for testing kidney function because it is neither filtered or reabsorbed or secreted by the kidneys.
- Creatinine clearance is also useful in determining GFR, but because it's slightly secreted by the kidneys it isn't as precise as inulin clearance.
Renal Plasma Flow
- Renal plasma flow is the volume of plasma passing through the kidneys per unit of time.
Renal Interstitial Pressures
- Physical forces (hydrostatic and osmotic) influence tubular reabsorption of water and solutes.
Distal, Collecting, and Medullary Ducts
- Distal tubules handle sodium and potassium reabsorption/secretion.
- Collecting ducts regulate water reabsorption based on ADH levels. Also regulate hydrogen ion and bicarbonate secretion.
- Medullary collecting ducts are permeable to urea and water reabsorption is controlled by ADH.
