3.  Anatomy of Kidney  Hydrostatic/ Oncotic Pressure  GFR, RPF, FF, RBF equations  Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System  Nephritic Syndromes  Nephrotic Syndromes  Kidney Stones  Goldblatt’s Kidney  Renal Cell Carcinoma  Polycystic Kidney Disease  Medullary Kidney Disease  Diuretics

4.  The rate fluid passes through the afferent arterioles and filters through the glomerulus of the kidney  Substances used to measure GFR: Inulin, BUN  GFR = Urine concentration x Urine flow rate Plasma concentration

5.  The amount of plasma secreted through the efferent arterioles over time  Substances used to measure RPF: PAH, Creatinine  RPF = Urine concentration x Urine flow  Plasma concentration

6.  The proportion of fluid that is actually filtered through the kidney into its tubule system  Approximately 20% of body fluid  FF = Glomerular Filtration Rate Renal Blow Flow

7.  The amount of blood that travels to the kidney over time  Approximately 20% of Cardiac Output  RBF = Renal Plasma Flow 1-Hematocrit
