  3. Cell functions depending on regional pH • Plasma membrane function • - Passive permeability to cations and anions • - Active transport processes • - Hormon receptor functions • - Cell shape, motility and excitability • - Endo- and exocytosis Mitocondrial function - Energy storage - ATP generation - Ammoniagenesis - Other enzyme activities Cytoplasmic function - Glycolysis - Glyconeogenesis - Cyclic nucleotid function - Function of actin and myosin - Cytoskeleton function - O2 affinity of hemoglobin Function of other organelles

  4. Metabolic Acidosis Acidexcess Base loss Gastrointestinal loss of HCO-3 - diarrhea - small- bowel or pancreatic fistula, drainage - ureterosigmoidostomy - anion exchange resins Renal loss of HCO-3 - carbonic anhydrase inhibitors - renal tubular acidosis (RTA) - hyperparathyroidism - hypoaldosteronism Exogen acids: -HCl (fe. arginin chlorid, NH4Cl ) -H2SO4 ( fe. Methionin) Incomplete fat oxidation: -diabetes mellitus (ketoacid) -starvation -alcoholic ketoacidosis Incomplete carbohydrate oxidation: (lactic acidosis) -shock, diabetes -cirrhosis -leukemia Failure of acid excretion: ARF, CRF Ingestion of toxic substances: - salicylate overdose, - methanol, ethylene glycol

  8. Respiratory response to metabolic acidosis. The increase in (H+) produced by metabolic acidosis is sensed by chemoreceptors in the brainstem and ventilation is stimulated, reducing PCO2. Altough no units are shown on the time axis, this response is fully manifest in 1 to 3 hours, and the reduction in PCO2 induced is sustained until the bicarbonate deficit is repaired. During the recovery process, a similar delay occurs between correction of the acidosis and restoration of normal ventilation, resulting in a transient period of alkalemia.

  9. Causes of Lactic Acidosis Clinically characterised by decrease in tissue oxigenation No clinical sign of decreased tissue oxigenation Systemic disorders or conditions -diabetes mellitus -liver failure -sepsis -malignancy -pregnancy Intoxication -Ethanol -Etlylenglycol -Strychnine Muscular hyperactivity -seizures -marathon running Cardiogenic shock Hypovolemic shock Septic shock Hypoxemia (O2 < 35mmHg) Anemia ATP NADH Venous constriction Arteriolar dilatation Myocordial contraction Congrestive Heart failure (pH7.10-7.20) lactate mortality If > 4 mmol /l

  11. Causes of Renal Tubular Acidosis Distal Proximal Hypokalemic or normokalemic - Primary - Hypercalcemia - Nephrocalcinosis - Multiple myeloma - Hepatic cirrhosis - Lupus erythematosus - Amphotericin B - Lithium - Toluene - Renal transplant rejection - Medullary sponge kidney Hyperkalemic - Hypoaldosteronism - Obstructive nephropathy - Sickle cell nephropathy - Lupus erythematosus Primary Cystinosis Wilson’s disease Lead toxicity Cadmium toxicity Mercury toxicity Amyloidosis Multiple myeloma Nephrotic syndrome Early renal transplant injury Medullary cystic disease Outdated tetracycline

  12. Proximal Tubular Acidosis Proximal tubules: HCO-3 reabsorption distal HCO-3 load (norm: 85%) urine HCO-3hypercloremic metabolic alkalosis urine : Na+ , K+ , H2O Hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypovolemia

  14. 6 Proximal RTA (type II): hypokalemic, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (in acidosis: net acid excretion = acid generated) HCO3- CO2 H2CO3 CAIV 4 LUMEN 1 H2O 8 CO2 ADP H+ OH- Pi 3 7 PROXIMAL TUBULE CELL Na+ CAIII ATP ADP HCO3- Pi 5 2 BLOOD K+ Pathophysiology of proximal (type II) RTA. The possible causes of abnormal proximal acidification include defects in the luminal Na+-H+ antiporter (1); the basolateral Na+-HCO3- symporter (2); the intracellular (3) or luminal (4) carbonic anhydrases (CA); sodium permeability (5); the Na-K ATPase (6); the intracellular generation of ATP (7); or membrane recycling, metabolism, or trafficking (8).

  15. Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis Defect Mechanism Example Gradient or backleak Secretory Voltage-dependent Rate-dependent Hypoaldosteronism Amphotericin B Classic distal RTA Amiloride, obstructive nephropathy, sickle cell disease Interstitial nephropathy Hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism Inability to achieve or maintain a low urine pH due to backleak of H+ or H2CO3 Decrease in both force and rate (conductance) of the H+ pump system; acidification impaired under all conditions Failure to maintain a negative potential difference in the collecting duct lumen due to decreased sodium reabsorption Decreased rate of H+ secretion, but intact ability to achieve a low pH with an acid load (force intact) Probably a combination of voltage-dependent and rate-dependent defects and decreased ammonia production

  16. Classical Distal RTA (type I): hypokalemic, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (in urine: inappropriate acidification) NH3 NH4+ HPO4 H2PO4- (TA) H+ 3 LUMEN 1 ADP ATP Pi H2O DISTAL TUBULE OH- CA CO2 Cl- HCO3- 2 BLOOD Pathophysiology of classical distal (type I) RTA. The possible causes of abnormal intercalated cell acidification in the distal nephron include defects in the luminal proton-translocating ATPase (1), the basolateral HCO3-Cl- antiporter (2), or luminal hydrogen ion permeability (3). TA, titratable acid; CA, carbonic anhydrase.
