Filtration (180 L) Reabsorption Secretion 99% is recovered. Renal tubular function
Inherited (failure of H ion secretion,pt is unable to reduce pH below 6.5) Acquired secondary to other causes Acute renal failure. Tubular dysfunction
Osmolality (normal tubule function, AVP ) More than 600 mmol/Kg intact tubular function If no difference with that of plasma then tubular damage is there. Water deprivation test AVP Fluid restricted raised urine osmolality Investigations of tubular functions
Blood glucose, plasma creatinine,potassium and calcium abnormal diagnosis Normal Fluid deprivation test Urine osmolality polyuria
Saline infusion test No increase in ADH (CDI) Increase in ADH Fluid deprivation (osmolality /ADH) Both are low PP osmolality low ADH high(NDI) Non diagnostic
Renal tubular acidosis Persistent unexplained acidosis. Fresh urine sample for pH. (˃ 5.3)(RTA) Acid load test Ammonium chloride and measure pH hourly for 8 hours. Urine pH and acid load test
