Renal Artery Renal Vein Ureter Filtration Secretion Reabsorption Excretion (Urine) Factors that Influence Renal Clearance
Rate of Excretion
Renal Clearance (CL R ) Clearance by Filtration (called the glomerular filtration rate) Clearance by Secretion Confusing Book Point: GFR is equivalent to CL f
Glomerular Filtration Rate [Drug] plasma fraction unbound
Flow Rate Approximations
Urinary Flow Rate is Highly Variable Urine Flow Rate (UFR) Average = 68 ml/hr Our approximation UFR = 1 ml/hr/kg or 70 ml/hr
Renal Extraction Ratio (E R ) Confusing Book Point: They use extraction rate and excretion rate the same.
Renal Extraction Ratios (E R )
Contributions of filtration and secretion
Urine, CL R and E R Reabsorption Filtration Secretion Concentration of Drug in the Urine Urine Flow Rate
Factors that Influence (CL R ) pH Altered Secretion Renal Impairment Protein Binding
Factors that Influence Passive Diffusion: pH partition hypothesis
pH and CL R unionized Membrane Urine Blood Unionized Ionized (Reabsorption Blocked)
plant hormone/antipyretic pKa=2.97
Urine Acidification and Alkalinization in the Treatment of Drug Overdose Drug is a weak acid – Urine alkalinization (Increase pH) IV sodium bicarbonate – Phenobarbital, Aspirin or Salicylates – Herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid poisoning Drug is a weak base – Urine acidification (Decrease pH) IV ammonium chloride – Amphetamines (metabolic acidosis)
Altered Active Tubular Secretion Inhibit Tubular Secretion CL R =24 L/hr to 14 L/hr
Low E R (Renal Impairment) Anti-seizure
Altered Protein Binding *Clofibric acid is a metabolite of the cholesterol-lowering pharmaceutical drug clofibrate.
