RENAL CLEARANCE Dr. Eman El Eter

Concept of clearance Clearance is the volume of plasma that is completely cleared of a substance each minute. Example: Renal clearance of Substance X is defined as the ratio of excretion rate of substance X to its concentration in the plasma: C X = (U X X V)/ P X

Clearance Equation  C X = (U X X V)/ P X  C X = Renal clearance (ml/min)  U X X V = excretion rate of substance X  U X = Concentration of X in urine  V = urine flow rate in ml/min

What is the importance of renal clearance? To quantify several aspects of renal functions: - rate of glomerular filtration - Assess severity of renal damage - Tubular reabsorption. - Tubular secretion of different substances.

Criteria of a substance used for GFR measurement: a)freely filtered b)not secreted by the tubular cells, c)not reabsorbed by the tubular cells. d)should not be toxic e)should not be metabolized f)easily measurable. examples of such a substance:  Creatinine (endogenous): by-product of skeletal muscle metabolism

Criteria of a substance used for GFR measurement, cont…… Inulin (exogenous): It is a polysaccharide with a molecular weight of about 5200 and it fits all the above requirements.

Example  if Plasma conc. of inulin = 100 μ g/100ml  Urinary conc of Inulin = μ g /100ml  Urine flow (UV) = 1 ml /min then, the clearance of inulin will be?  C = 120 ml/min

Measurement of renal blood flow Substances used for measurement of GFR are not suitable for the measurement of Renal Blood Flow. Why? Inulin clearance only reflects the volume of plasma that is filtered and not that remains unfiltered and yet passes through the kidney. It is known that only 1/5 of the plasma that enters the kidneys gets filtered. Therefore, other substances to be used with special criteria. To measure renal blood flow we will have to measure renal plasma flow first and then from the hematocrit we calculate the actual blood flow

Measurement of renal plasma flow: For the measurement of renal plasma flow, we will again need a substance that is a)freely filtered b)rapidly and completely secreted by the renal tubular cells c)not reabsorbed d)not toxic e)and easily measurable Example of such substance: Para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) 90% of plasma flowing through the kidney is completely cleared of PAH.

PAH clearance: example  If the concentration of PAH in the urine and plasma and the urine flow are as follows:  Conc. of PAH in urine=25.2 mg/ml  Urine flow=1.1 ml/min  Conc of PAH in arterial blood=0.05 mg/ml  Then CPAH or Renal Plasma Flow= (25.2 x 1.1)/0.05 = 560 ML/ min  Lets say the hematocrit is 45%, then renal blood flow will be: (560 x 100)/(100-45)= 1018 ml/min

Filtration fraction It is the ratio of GFR to renal plasma flow

 Clearance can also be used to determine renal handling of a substance.  Clearance values can also be used to determine how the nephron handles a substance filtered into it. In this method the clearance for inulin or creatinine is calculated and then compared with the clearance of the substance being investigated.

Calculation of tubular reabsorption or secretion from renal clearance Substances that are completely reabsorbed from the tubules (amino acids, glucose), clearance = zero because the urinary secretion is zero. Substances highly reabsorbed (Na), its clearance < 1% of the GFR. Waste products as urea are poorly reabsorbed and have relatively high clearance rates. Reabsorption rate can be calculated= Filtration rate- excretion rate = (GFR X P*)-(U* X V) * The substance needed to be assessed.

Calculation of tubular reabsorption or secretion from renal clearance, cont…….  If excretion rate of a substance is greater than the filtered load, then the rate at which it appears in the urine represents the sum of the rate of glomerular filtration + tubular secretion:  Secretion* = (U* X V)- (GFR X P*).  * indicate the substance

Glucose clearance GLUCOSE CLEARANCE The glucose clearance is zero at plasma glucose values below the threshold and gradually rises as plasma glucose rises. We can express the excretion of glucose quantitatively at plasma concentrations beyond the threshold, where the glucose reabsorption rate (T m ) has reached its maximum:

Tubular transport maximum for glucose

Tubular transport maximum for glucose, cont…..  Filtered Load  filtered load = GFR x [P] glucose  Reabsorption  plasma [glucose] < 160 mg/dL filtered load of glucose is completely reabsorbed  160 mg/dL < plasma [glucose] < 200 mg/dL filtered load of glucose is not completely reabsorbed "threshold," or plasma [glucose] at which glucose is first excreted in urine  plasma [glucose] > 350 mg/dL filtered load of glucose is not completely reabsorbed Na + - glucose (SGLT) cotransporters are completely saturated maximal glucose reabsorption (T m )
