chapter 8 The formation and excretion of urine
Major Functions of the kidneys 1. Regulation of body fluid osmolality and volume 2. Regulation of electrolyte balance 3. Regulation of acid-base balance 4. Excretion of metabolic products and foreign substances 5. Production and secretion of hormones
Renin Prostaglandins kinins 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 erythropoietin
Formation of Urine Three steps: • Glomerular Filtration • Reabsorption of renal tubule and collecting duct • Secretion of renal tubule and collecting duct
§1 Functional anatomy of the kidneys and renal blood flow
1. Nephron 1) structure (Fig.1)Glomerulus Renal corpuscle Renal capsule nephron Proximal tubule Renal tubule Thin segment of Henle’s loop Distal tubule
proximal convoluted tubule Proximal tubule think descending limb of Henle’s loop thin descending limb Thin segment of Henle’s loop thin ascending limb think ascending limb of Henle’s loop Distal tubule distal convoluted tubule
2) classification (Fig.2) ----- two types Cortical nephron = superficial nephron Juxtamedullary nephron
2. Juxtaglomerular apparatus (Fig.2) (1) macula densa distal convoluted tubular epithelium modified histologically near the trigonum side (2) extraglomerular mesangial cells (3) granular cells ------ renin specialized myoepithelial cells in the media of afferent arteriole close to the glomerulus
3. Renal blood flow and its regulation • 1) normal value: 1200 ml/min 25% of the cardiac output The blood flow to the two kidneys is equal to about 25% of the cardiac output in resting persons. However, the kidneys constitute less than 0.5% of the total body weight.
2) Distribution cortex ------ 90% medulla ------ 8~10% Blood flow within the kidney is not distributed uniformly. It is much higher in the renal cortex than in the medulla. Cortical blood flow is 90% and the medullary blood flow is 8~10% of the total renal blood flow.
3) Autoregulation A. Experiment The kidneys, like most other organs , regulate their blood flow by adjusting the vascular resistance in response to change in arterial pressure . As illustrated in Figure 3 , this adjustment in resistance is so precise that blood flow remains relatively constant as arterial blood pressure changes between 90 and 180 mm Hg . GFR is also regulated over the same range of arterial pressure
B. Concept: With a perfusing arterial pressure in the range of 80 ~ 180 mmHg, the renal blood flow does not vary in the denervated, isolated or intact kidneys. This indicates that the renal circulation is selfcontrolled or autoregulated.
C. mechanism • Myogenic hypothesis • Tubuloglomerular feedback
Stretch stimuli to afferent arterioles Arterial perfusion pressure constrict resistance RBF remains relatively constant
Mechanism 2 (Fig. 4) The second mechanism responsible for autoregulation of GFR and RBF, the flow-dependent mechanism, is known as tubuloglomerular feedback (Figure 4). This mechanism involves a feedback loop in which the flow of tubular fluid (or some other factor, such as the rate of NaCl reabsorption, which increases in direct proportion to flow is sensed by the macula densa of the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) and converted into a signal that affects afferent arteriolar resistance and thus GFR.
When GFR increases and causes the flow of tubular fluid at the macula densa to rise, the JGA send a signal that causes vasoconstriction to return RBF and GFR to normal levels . In contrast, when GFR and tubular flow past the macula densa decrease, the JGA sends a signal causing RBF and GFR mainly by changing the resistance of the afferent arteriole, but the mediator for this effect is controversial.
Mediator: NaCl Adenosine ATP

5. Humoral control Ad , NE RBFAⅡ , AVP(vasoconstrictor agents)prostaglandins atrial natriuretic peptide brady kinin RBF nitric oxide (NO)(vasodilator agents)
1. Glomerular filtration Glomerular filtration (Ultrafiltration) (Fig.5) concept highly permeable to water and small molecules impermeable to macromolecules Exp . 1 determinants of ultrafiltrate composition
Two important terms (1) Glomerular filtration rate (2) Glomerular filtration fraction
(1) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 1.concept The quantity of glomerular filtrate formed per minuite by both kidneys GFR=Kf · PufKf =coefficient of filtration Puf =Effective filtration pressure (= net filtration pressure) 2. normal value: 125 ml/min 3. Significance sustain the formation of urine 4. Measurement Inulin clearance
(2)Glomerular filtration fraction (FF) 1.concept the filtration rate as percentage of the total renal plasma flow that passes through both kidneys. FF=GFR= 125 = 19% RPF 660 2. normal value 19% 3. Significance ? be filtered
Filtration barrier 1. Permeability of glomerular membrane capillary endothelium basement membrane filtration slits of the podocytes (Fig.6)
2.Two features: (1) Molecule size selectivity Effective radius < 1.8nm -------- filtered freely Effective radius >3.6nm -------- filtered impermeable 1.8nm < Effective radius <3.6nm -------- filtered partially MW=10,000 MW= 70,000
(2) Molecular electrical charge selectivity negatively charged glycoproteins → impede the passage of charged plasma substance such as plasma albumin.
(4)Effective filtration pressure 1) concept EFP = PGC - (PBC + GC) PGC--- -Glomerular Capillary Pressure PBC----Hydrostatic pressure in the Bow-man’s capsule GC ----Colloid osmotic pressure in the capillary blood 2) significance (Fig. 4 ) In monkey arterial side =?
