Rapid Renal Blood Circulation
Weight of Kidneys = 0.5% body weight20-25% of CO goes to Kidneys
CO = 6 L/minRenal blood flow = 1.2-1.5 L/min
O2 consumption = 18 ml/min

Phospholipid-Bilayer Membranes Not permeable to polar molecules
(interior lipid region/nonpolar)
Large hydrophilic molecules and ions do not diffuse through the lipid bilayer and need special channels to allow entrance and passage of polar species.
![Page 7: Renal-Chemistry Elizabeth Kim, MSN, ARNP, SRNA](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554af049b4c905852a8b5662/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DefinitionsDefinitions
Polar molecules– Have no net charge. – Have a region with a cluster of positive charges and a
region with a cluster of negative charges. – Polar molecules are hydrophilic.
Nonpolar molecules: – Have a positive and negative charges uniformly
distributed throughout the molecule. – Nonpolar are hydrophobic.
![Page 8: Renal-Chemistry Elizabeth Kim, MSN, ARNP, SRNA](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554af049b4c905852a8b5662/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Kidneys important in:
1) Regulation of ECF/ BP– When extracellular fluid volume ↓, BP ↓
– If ↓ ↓ blood volume and pressure=> ↓ flow to brain and other organs
– Kidneys work with CV system to maintain pressure in acceptable range
– ADH and aldosterone cause active reabsorption of more sodium and water = concentrate urine
2) Regulation of ionic composition
3) Electrolyte balance: Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, Cl-
4) Acid-base balance H+ and HCO3-

The Kidney Has an Osmotic Gradient From Cortex to Medulla
• Cortex - Isotonic with the blood: ~300 mOsm/L
• Medulla - very Hypertonic: ~1200 mOsm /L
•Regulating osmolality = Regulating Na+ concentration (sodium salts represent 90% of total osmolality of ECF).

HomeostasisHomeostasis
H+ ions are created and destroyed at all times.
H+ is controlled through:– 1. Buffers – 2. The Lungs– 3. The Kidneys
![Page 19: Renal-Chemistry Elizabeth Kim, MSN, ARNP, SRNA](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554af049b4c905852a8b5662/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Acid-Base BalanceAcid-Base Balance3 Mechanisms for the regulation of acid-base balance:3 Mechanisms for the regulation of acid-base balance:
1. The Buffer system (secs)
2. Respiratory system (mins)
3. Renal system (hrs-day)
– Renal H+ excretion, which controls plasma HCO3
-
• For each HCO3- reabsorbed or
regenerated a H+ is secreted into the renal tubular fluid.
– Predominate buffers: phosphate (HPO42) & ammonia (NH3)
![Page 20: Renal-Chemistry Elizabeth Kim, MSN, ARNP, SRNA](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554af049b4c905852a8b5662/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

To maintain normal pH, the kidneys must perform 2 physiological functions:
– 1st: Reabsorb all the filtered HCO3 (~85% at PT)– 2nd: Excrete the daily H+ load (CD)

Adding acid load to the body fluids results in consumption of HCO3
- by H+ added and the
formation of carbonic acid, forms H2O & CO2
Only the urinary system can eliminate excess hydrogen ions, permanently and restore the bicarbonate buffering ions to the blood.

Hydrogen IonsHydrogen Ions
Continuously produced as substrates are oxidized in the production of ATP
Largest contribution of metabolic acids arises from the oxidation of carbohydrates, principally glucose.
Net production of hydrogen ions: ~60 mEq/day.

Hydrogen Ion RegulationHydrogen Ion Regulation
Metabolic reactions in the body are highly sensitive to pH or H+ ion concentration.
H+ ions change shapes of proteins, including enzymes (H+ changes can greatly effect the chemical reactions in your body.

1. CO2 + H20 H2CO3 HCO3- + H+
2. Protein breakdown.
3. Loss of HCO3- in GI tract.
4. Loss of HCO3- in kidney.
(3) and (4) result in a gain of plasma H+ because HCO3
- is no longer available to
bind H+.
1. Loss of H+ from stomach in vomiting.
2. Loss of H+ in urine.
3. Hypoventilation.

Buffer: Any substance that can reversibly bind H+.
HCO3- : Important buffer.

is forced to the right and more H+ is bound to buffer.

gradient into the plasma. H+ : secreted into the tubule. This combines
with filtered HCO3- to form CO2 and H20.

Bicarbonate filtration and Bicarbonate filtration and reabsorptionreabsorption
If plasma HCO3- is low, the H+
combines with other buffers. HCO3
- is still produced in the renal tubules and diffuses into the plasma, raising plasma HCO3
-.

Kidney Response to AcidosisKidney Response to Acidosis H+ is secreted to reabsorb all the filtered
bicarbonate. More H+ is secreted to bind to other buffers in the
urine. More HCO3
- is created and diffuses into the plasma, to bind H+ and make the plasma more alkaline.
Glutamine metabolism and ammonium (NH4+) excretion increase. Ammonium grabs H+ and HCO3
- goes into the plasma, making it more alkaline.
![Page 31: Renal-Chemistry Elizabeth Kim, MSN, ARNP, SRNA](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062404/554af049b4c905852a8b5662/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Kidney responses to Kidney responses to AlkalosisAlkalosis
H+ secretion is down, so H+ cannot reabsorb all the bicarbonate. A significant amount of bicarbonate is excreted in the urine.
Glutamine metabolism and ammonium excretion are down, so little bicarbonate goes into the plasma.

•In the normal kidney about 1 mg/kg of acid must be cleared each day. This is done by reclaiming filtered bicarb and excreting hydrogen ions with phosphate buffers and ammonium. Bicarb then diffuses into the blood and hydrogen into the urine, buffered by ammonium and phosphates.

2 main mechanisms of action
1. Increase osmolarity in renal filtrate: Result: less water reabsorbed and more water excreted.
2. Increase in plasma osmolarity. Extracts water from intracellular compartment to the blood compartment. Decreases blood viscosity and increases renal blood flow.

– Inhibition of this transporter system leads to accumulation of K+ in the cell because of Na+/K+ ATPase bringing K+ into the cell also. This results in back diffusion of K+ into the tubular lumen which reduces the lumen positive potential and causes an increase in Mg++ and Ca++ excretion
