Regulation of Water & K + Excretion John R. Dietz, Ph.D. Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology University of South Florida College of Medicine
Renal Regulation of Special Substances (Water and Potassium) At the end of this section you should know: How water excretion is controlled by ADH How water excretion is markedly affected by solute excretion (osmotic diuresis). Regulation of ADH secretion (review) that potassium excretion is controlled by secretion in the DT and cortical CD. how changes in plasma K+ or aldosterone affect K+ secretion. how potassium excretion is altered by diuretics.
Collecting Duct ADH cAMP Lumen (hypotonic) Interstitium (hypertonic) V 2 H 2 O
Primary control of H 2 O excretion by ADH. Osmotic diuresis The reabsorption of solutes is not dependent on the reabsorption of water. The reabsorption of water is dependent on the reabsorption of solutes. Increased solute excretion nearly always results in increased urine flow Regulation of Water Excretion
Osmotic Diuresis
Regulation of Water Excretion ADH effects urine flow (UF) by altering free water excretion. If Uosm > Posm = net H 2 O reabsorption (or negative free water excretion). If Uosm < Posm = net H 2 O excretion (or positive free water excretion). If the urine is isoosmotic to plasma then free water excretion = 0. Most factors (other than ADH) alter UF by changing solute excretion.

Renal Hormones & Fluid Balance Review of everything John R. Dietz, Ph.D. Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology University of South Florida, College of Medicine
Renal Hormones & Fluid Balance At the end of this section you should know: Regulation of erythropoietin secretion. Regulation of renin secretion. Prostaglandins as renal vasodilators help regulate RBF. Mechanisms for monitoring body fluid volume and osmolality. Regulation of both salt and water intake and output. Physiologic changes to salt deficit or excess. Fluid balance changes to hypertension or hypotension.

Renin-Angiotensin system Regulation of Blood Pressure and Sodium Output The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language
Stimulation of Renin Secretion Blood pressure activates renal vascular receptor (baroreceptor) and renin. Blood pressure also GFR and delivery of Cl - to Macula Densa in the distal tubule which renin. Blood pressure causes a reflex activation of renal sympathetic nerves which renin. Juxtaglomerular Apparatus
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
Emerging! ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) Converts AI (10 aa) to AII (8 aa) Actions of AII vasoconstrictor releases aldosterone anti-natriuretic causes heart remodeling causes cardiac fibrosis ACE 2 Converts AII to A 1-7 (7 aa) Actions of A 1-7 vasodilator decreases aldosterone natriuretic prevents heart remodeling prevents cardiac fibrosis IMHO this will lead to new treatments for hypertension and CHF.

Acid-base Chemistry At the end of this section you should know: Basic buffer chemistry. How to use the Hen.-Hass. Equation. Buffers in plasma, RBCs and other cells. Three lines of defense against changes in pH. pH: norm = 7.40, range normal [H+] = 40 nM
Why do we regulate our pH? pH Normal = 7.40 ( ) Viable range = pH = 7.40 then [H+] = 40 nM = M pH = 7.20 then [H+] = 60 nM pH = 7.10 then [H+] = 80 nM
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation: pH = pK + log HCO 3 - CO 2

Alveolar ventilation increased further because of acidosis. pH = log 12 mmoles/L 0.75 mmoles/L (pCO 2 = 25mmHg) pH = 7.30 Second Line of Defense: Fast Respiratory Component. Alveolar ventilation increased to maintain pCO 2 at 40 mmHg (1.2 mmoles/L). pH = log 12 mmoles/L 1.2 mmoles/L pH = 7.10

pH = pK + log HCO - 3 CO 2 METABOLIC ALKALOSIS SOME POSSIBLE CAUSES: 1) Over Ingestion of Base. 2) Loss of Acid (Vomiting, Gastric Suction Tube). D
Anion Gap Plasma [Na + ] - ( [Cl - ] + [HCO 3 - ] ) or approximately 8-16 mEq/L (5-11 mEq/L) Metabolic Acidosis Normal anion gap acidosis - HCO 3 - decreases and replaced by Cl - shift: Eg. Diarrhea or simple gain of H + + Cl - Increased anion gap acidosis - HCO 3 - decreases and replaced by other anions so no Cl - shift: Eg. lactic acidosis and diabetic keto-acidosis
