MBChB Year 2 Renal Tutorial

A phase I clinical trial is being conducted on a new anti-inflammatory drug. Volunteers are given small doses of the drug, to determine how it behaves in the human body. The pharmacokineticists are interested in whether; (a)the drug is held back by the glomerular filter, or (b)the drug passes freely through the glomerular filter, or (c)The drug is actively excreted (secreted) by the tubule cells. The clinical biochemists provide the following measurements for one volunteer; Plasma Creatinine 1mg/dL Plasma Drug = 25mg/dL Urine Creatinine = 0.16mg/mL Urine Drug = 12mg/mL Urine flow rate = 5mL/min On the basis of these figures, which of a,b or c is the correct possibility?

Remember I showed you the derivation of the GFR equation; Glomerular filtration rate GFR x Plasma [Creatinine] = Urine flow rate x Urine [Creatinine] amount passing into nephron amount passing out of nephron So… GFR = UFR x [C] urine [C] plasma

GFR = UFR x [C] urine [C] plasma So we can use this to calculate GFR; GFR = 5mL/min x 0.16mg/mL = 80mL/min 0.01mg/mL NB converted units

We can use a similar approach to look at the excretion rate of the drug Rate = UFR x [Drug] urine = 5mL/min x 12mg/mL = 60mg/min Expected Rate = GFR x [Drug] plasma = 80mL/min x 0.25mg/mL = 20mg/min So passive filtration would give us an excretion rate of 20mg/min but we actually see 60mg/min. We have an 'excess' secretion of 40mg/min.

'Excess Secretion' = UFR [Drug] urine – [C] plasma x [Drug] urine [C] plasma () Or you could have crunched this into a single algebraic equation before throwing the numbers in; To answer this question with no numbers, you could have just compared the ratio of urine to plasma creatinine with the ratio of urine to plasma drug.

Quick problem: What would be the effect on the kidney of someone who keep having panic attacks?

Potassium flux is sensitive to body pH: Re-absorption by intercalated cells constantly Data from Giebisch GH. (2002) A trail of research on potassium. Kidney Int. 62: Excretion by principal cells - REGULATED ASC ATPases Aldosterone 1)High tissue K + increases K + flow into cells thence out: 2)Low K + diets tyrP of apical K + channels channels removed from membrane 3)High K + diets cause loss of tyrP and channels accumulate in membrane Alkalosis: H + out-pumping by intercalated cells reduced, so less K + re-uptake (AND apical K + channel activity increased in Prinicipal cells and so is the Na + /K + ATPase -> more K + loss) hypokalaemia Acute acidosis: H + out-pumping by intercalated cells increases so K + reuptake increases. Also, apical K + channels on Principal cells less active (by an effect on their intracellular regulation) so K + secretion falls. hyperkalaemia (Chronic acidosis; Na pump less efficient in PCT, so urine more copious and helps flush K + away) panting

Quick problem: What would be the effect on the kidney and then the whole body of having renal arterial stenosis?

How does the macula densa work? Elevated glom blood pressure Filtrate flows faster Less time for solute recovery More NaCl remains in the distal tubule Macula densa cells pump out more NaCl than they usually can (because there is more available) Juxtaglomerular cells release adenosine Afferent arteriole constricts in response to adenosine Juxtaglomerular cells release renin NOTE: this is the slide I showed you in the lectures, which follows what happens if pressure is elevated: in this story, everything is the other way round.

Wikipedia commons AVP Low renal blood flow – kidney makes more renin – elevates systemic pressure to compensate (5% of hypertensives are due to Renal Artery stenosis)

Quick problem: A 20yr old man presents with dizziness and weakness. He has had TB in the past. On examination he was -dehydrated -had low bp (70/40) - Plasma Na + 125mM (low) - Plasma K + 6mM (high) - Plasma glucose 3mM (low) What's the most likely diagnosis?

Action of Aldosterone on kidney cells: Coll duct α- intercalated cell : ATP ADP+Pi 2K + 3Na + Coll duct Principal cell: Na + ASC (=ENaC) K+K+ Aldosterone Mineralocorticoid receptor NR3C2 in nucleus -> aldosterone means more Na recovery and K secretion H+H+ H+H+ H + ATPase HCO 3 - Cl - H 2 CO 3 CO 2 H2OH2O ca These type A cells throw H + out of the body -> body gets less acid More mRNA made for the H + ATPase K+K+ TB can destroy the adrenal cortex; this also reduces glucocorticoids hence hypoglycaemia. Not made if adrenal is missing
