From Big Picture: Medical Biochemistry by Lange 5 Potassium Balance  Control of ECF K is essential to prevent membrane potential disruption • K+ determines the resting membrane potential (RMP) • Internal K+ homeostasis maintains a balance between ICF and ECF K+ • 98% K+ is intracellular • ECF K+ is controlled within the range of 3.5-5.5 mEq/L • External K+ homeostasis= K+ ingestion and excretion • Hyperkalemia results from increased ingestion • Or decreased excretion (renal insufficiency or failure) Renal Tubular Sites of Potassium Reabsorption and Secretion  Normal urinary K+ excretion varies with dietary K+ intake • FEK is typically 10-20% • To achieve the excretion of excess K+ from a normal diet • Segmental K+ handling = external K+ homeostasis  Not physiologically regulated: • 70% reabsorbed in the PT • 25% reabsorbed in TAL  Physiologically regulated • Secretion of K+ from the principal cells in the late DT and cortical collecting duct are the most important determinants of urinary K+ output Physiologically Controlled Potassium Reabsorption and Secretion  Secretion • Aldosterone simultaneously stimulates principal cells to secrete K+ & reabsorb Na+ • Increased Na+ (volume) delivery to the cortical collecting duct increases K+ secretion • Na+ influx via ENaC causes depolarization& increases the driving force for K+ secretion  Reabsorption of K+ • Is possible in the collecting duct in states of K+ depletion  Acid–base status: - Acidosis: decreases K+ secretion - Alkalosis: increases K+ secretion Internal K+ Homeostasis  Factors that affect internal K+ homeostasis- the K+ distribution between ECF and ICF • • Aldosterone is the central hormone controlling K+ balance- both internal and external homeostasis K+ balance primarily regulated in the distal collecting duct by negative feedback/aldosterone • Insulin stimulates K+ movement from ECF to ICF • A single meal can contain as much K+ as the entire ECF • Insulin stimulates K+ uptake by liver and skeletal muscle • Infusions can control hyperkalemia • Epinephrine stimulates K+ movement from the ECF to the ICF • An acute K+ load is delivered to the ECF by exercising muscle • Secretion of epi during exercise stimulates K+ reuptake into skeletal muscle cells via β2 receptors • Disturbances in acid-base balance affect internal K+ distribution • Acidosis increases plasma K+ • some H+ is buffered by the ICF and is associated with K+ efflux from the cells • Alkalosis reduces plasma K+ • H+ exits cells in exchange for K+ Potassium Disturbances • Hypokalemia is plasma K+ < 3.5 mEq/L • From intestinal losses (diarrhea, vomiting, or gastric suctioning) • or Renal loss- from a diuretic • Hyperkalemia is plasma K+> 5.5. mEq/L • ECF shifting (eg acidosis) • Cellular release of K+ (hemolysis) Treatment for Acute Hyperkalemia  Acute hyperkalemia can be rapidly fatal- Medical treatment includes: • Calcium gluconate infusion • Increased plasma Ca+ stabilizes cardiac membrane potential • Decreases immediate risk of arrhythmia • Insulin and glucose infusion • Insulin drives K+ into the ICF, concomitant glucose infusion prevents hypoglycemia • Kayexalate • Intestinal K+ chelator reduces K+ absorption and increases fecal K+ elimination • β2 agonists (eg albuterol and epinephrine) • Provide a short-acting mechanism to temporarily drive K+ into ICF Increased Serum K+ Stimulates Aldosterone Secretion Effects of Diuretics to Cause Potassium Depletion  Thiazide and loop diuretics • Inhibit Na+ reabsorption upstream of cortical collecting duct • Causes high Na+ delivery to cortical collecting duct • Drives further K+ secretion Diuretics that Na + reabsorption Water reabsorption Volume delivery to cort. collect. tub. Cell : Lumen gradient for K+ diffusion K+ secretion K+ depletion K+ reabsorption Calcium- Compensatory Responses to Decreased Plasma Ionized  Calcium exists in three forms Calcium  Two diffusible forms of Ca++: • 45% as free ionized Ca++ is diffusible and tightly regulated in normal plasma range • Free Ca++ is a vital second messenger for: • Blood coagulation • Muscle contraction- IV Ca++ may produce a transient increase in SVR • Nerve function • Hypocalcemia has an excitatory effect on nerve and muscle cells • Hypocalcemic tetany – laryngospasm can be fatal • Can occur before clotting compromised • 10% complexed with LMW anions- HCO3-, citrate and oxalate • Most common urinary calculi- calcium oxalate • TZDs increase distal tubular Ca++ reabsorption to decrease urinary Ca++ load  Nondiffusible (protein-bound) • 45% is bound to anionic sites on plasma proteins • Is not filtered into ISF or glomerulus • Plasma proteins more ionized when pH high (alkalotic)- bind more Ca++ Calcium- Compensatory Responses to Decreased Plasma Calcium  PTH regulates plasma calcium Ionized (and phosphate)  Compensatory responses to decreased plasma ionized calcium • PTH, Vit D3 activation, and thiazide diuretics all stimulate Ca++ reabsorption from the DT • In response to low plasma Ca++- Parathyroid hormone secretion: • • At the kidney- two mechanisms increase calcium reabsorption • Increases calcium reabsorption from the DT • Increases Vitamin D3 activation which increases Ca++ reabsorption From bone- PTH increases release of Ca++ into plasma Proximal Tubular Calcium Reabsorption  Ca+ homeostasis involves variable Ca++ input/output/exchange • Input from GI system • Exchanges between ECF and bone matrix • Variable output by renal system • FECa 1-2%- Pattern of reabsorption similar to Na+ • Cells of TAL have an ECF Ca++ sensing receptor that detect decreased plasma Ca++ and increase uptake due to a larger transepithelial electrical difference • Distal tubular reabsorption depends on a transient receptor potential channel (TRP) whose expression is regulated by PTH Magnesium Homeostasis  Mg2+ is an essential cofactor in enzymatic reactions and stabilizes phosphate groups • Plasma Mg2+ is homeostatically regulated by balance between: • Intestinal uptake • Dietary Mg2+ absorbed in ileum • Urinary excretion • Half of daily intake must be excreted to maintain balance • Segmental handling: • Reabsorption regulated in TAL (65% reabsorption) and DT • Loop diuretics cause urinary loss of divalent cations- including Ca 2+ and Mg2+ • Mg2+ compartments • ~1% total body Mg2+ is in ECF • Remainder in bone matrix and ICF • Plasma Mg2+ present in three forms: • ~50% free ionized magnesium • ~35% bound to plasma proteins • ~15% complexed to anions such as phosphate Renal Regulation of BP 18 Renal Responses to Low Effective Circulating Volume  4 main renal responses to counteract a low effective circulating volume: 1. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis 2. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system via the baroreceptor reflex 3. Increased ADH secretion 4. Increased renal fluid retention 19 Renal Responses to Low Effective Circulating Volume  Low effective circulating volume may not correspond to a low total body volume • Involves renin, angiotensin, aldosterone, ADH, and sympathetic nerves • Edema of varying etiologies (of different Starling forces)- Examples: • • • Congestive heart failure- increased hydrostatic pressure related to cardiac congestion Nephrotic syndrome- decreased oncotic pressure is due to loss of proteins in urine Cirrhosis- combines two forces that favor filtration out of vascular system • Decreased oncotic pressure from decreased plasma protein production • Increased hydrostatic pressure from hepatic congestion  With normal circulating volumes: • Activity of renin, angiotensin, aldosterone, and sympathetic nerves is generally low • High circulating volume is poorly addressed by the same mechanisms • Secretion of ANP promotes loss of Na+ and water in urine • ADH secretion is decreased 20 Renal Regulation of Blood Pressure Regulation  Kidney regulate BP by its effect on Na+ and H2O balance- major determinants of BP • Na+ concentration is measured at the macula densa • Intrarenal baroreceptors of the juxtaglomerular granular cells assess perfusion pressure  Tubuloglomerular feedback stimulates renin release • Macula densa – The cells of the macula densa have Na+ and Cl- channels that transport Na+ into the cell – and a limited number of NaK-ATPase pumps that become overwhelmed if the Na+ concentration rises (high tubular flow) • Granular (juxtaglomerular) cells are located in the afferent arteriole – Function as intrarenal baroreceptors and produce the protease renin • Release renin in response to low flow/low perfusion pressure • Decrease renin release in response to high flow/high perfusion pressure 21 Renin  Renin is released in response to two stimuli : Low perfusion and low Na+ • Release stimulated by three mechanisms: 1. Central baroreceptors of aortic arch, carotid sinus stimulate SNS β-1 receptors on granular cells • Increases MAP • Activation of Autonomic pathways includes fibers that send signals to the hypothalamus to signal ADH release 2. Intrarenal baroreceptors of the JG granular cells • Assess perfusion pressure of blood 3. Macula densa • Senses Na+ concentration as part of the JG apparatus of tubuloglomerular feedback 23 Renal Control of BP  Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system + ADH • RAS responds to low effective circulating volume • Renin is the protease that cleaves angiotensin • Angiotensin II: • Raises perfusion pressure and • Expands ECF by stimulating aldosterone production from the adrenal cortex • Aldosterone retains H2O while excreting K+ • Isotonic volume control • Water reabsorption with solute • ADH signaled by osmoreceptors and SNS • ADH controls osmolarity at the kidney • Regulates H2O reabsorption without solute • V1 effect is vasoconstriction; V2 is antidiuresis • Vasopressin is an effective treatment for severe hypotension- (vasoplegia - ACEIs) Renin-Angiotensin System & Stimulation of Aldosterone Angiotensin II – increases renal perfusion pressure and ECF volume • Affects kidneys, adrenal glands, heart and blood vessels, SNS, hypothalamus • Preferentially vasoconstricts efferent arteriole- decreases RBF, Maintains GFR • Decreases Kf (mesangial cells contract) • Stimulates thirst • Supplements the stimulus from low pressure baroreceptors to increase ADH secretion Aldosterone causes H2O retention and K+ excretion • Stimulates aldosterone secretion • A mineralcorticoid synthesized in the zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex • Function- Na+ reabsorption (H2O retention) and K+ secretion • Cl- and H2O follow Na+ reabsorption- effect is to increase plasma volume • Causes of aldosterone secretion: • Activation of the RAS with production of Angiotensin II (most important) • Increased K+ plasma directly affects zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex • Aldosterone is the primary regulator of ECF K+ 25 26
