Sodium reabsorption

Sodium reabsorption. Sodium is reabsorbed by different mechanisms as the filtrate progresses through the tubule. Sodium ions leave the filtrate and enter the tubular epithelial cell by way of the following processes (see Figure 19.4) ... [Pg.317]

The answer is c. (Murray, pp 505—626. Scriver, pp 4029—4240. Sack, pp 121-138. Wilson, pp 287-320.) Vasopressin, which is also called antidiuretic hormone, increases the permeability of the collecting ducts and distal convoluted tubules of the kidney and thus allows passage of water. Like the mineralocorticoid aldosterone, vasopressin results in an expansion of blood volume. However, the mode of action of aldosterone is different it causes sodium reabsorption, not water reabsorption. Sodium reabsorption indirectly leads to increased plasma osmolality and thus water retention in the blood. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid that potentiates catabolic metabolism chronically. Epinephrine stimulates catabolic metabolism acutely. Insulin acutely favors anabolic metabolism, in large part by allowing glucose and amino acid transport into cells. [Pg.281]

Fiber components are the principal energy source for colonic bacteria with a further contribution from digestive tract mucosal polysaccharides. Rate of fermentation varies with the chemical nature of the fiber components. Short-chain fatty acids generated by bacterial action are partiaUy absorbed through the colon waU and provide a supplementary energy source to the host. Therefore, dietary fiber is partiaUy caloric. The short-chain fatty acids also promote reabsorption of sodium and water from the colon and stimulate colonic blood flow and pancreatic secretions. Butyrate has added health benefits. Butyric acid is the preferred energy source for the colonocytes and has been shown to promote normal colonic epitheUal ceU differentiation. Butyric acid may inhibit colonic polyps and tumors. The relationships of intestinal microflora to health and disease have been reviewed (10). [Pg.70]

In normal human subjects, ANP infusion for one hour causes increased absolute and fractional sodium excretion, urine flow, GFR, and water clearance (53—55). As shown in many in vitro and in vivo animal studies, ANP achieves this by direct effect on the sodium reabsorption in the inner medullary collecting duct, ie, by reducing vasopressin-dependent free-water and sodium reabsorption leading to diuresis and by indirect effect through increased hemodynamic force upon the kidney. ANP inhibits the release of renin and aldosterone resulting in the decreased plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration (56,57). [Pg.208]

In the kidney, ANG II reduces renal blood flow and constricts preferentially the efferent arteriole of the glomerulus with the result of increased glomerular filtration pressure. ANG II further enhances renal sodium and water reabsorption at the proximal tubulus. ACE inhibitors thus increase renal blood flow and decrease sodium and water retention. Furthermore, ACE inhibitors are nephroprotective, delaying the progression of glomerulosclerosis. This also appears to be a result of reduced ANG II levels and is at least partially independent from pressure reduction. On the other hand, ACE inhibitors decrease glomerular filtration pressure due to the lack of ANG II-mediated constriction of the efferent arterioles. Thus, one important undesired effect of ACE inhibitors is impaired glomerular filtration rate and impaired kidney function. [Pg.9]

Airway surface liquid (ASL) is the very thin fluid layer (<7 (llM) maintained at the apical membrane of airway epithelia. ASL thickness is maintained by a tight control of fluid reabsorption and/or secretion, mediated by sodium and/or chloride channels. [Pg.51]

Diuretics promote the urinary excretion of sodium and water by inhibiting the absorption of filtered fluid across the renal tubular epithelium. The ensuing reduction in Na reabsorption reduces the Na content of the body, the critical determinant of extracellular and plasma fluid volumes. Thus, the use of diuretics is primarily indicated in the treatment of edematous diseases and of arterial hypertension. [Pg.429]

Hyperaldosteronism is a syndrome caused by excessive secretion of aldosterone. It is characterized by renal loss of potassium. Sodium reabsorption in the kidney is increased and accompanied by an increase in extracellular fluid. Clinically, an increased blood pressure (hypertension) is observed. Primary hyperaldosteronism is caused by aldosterone-producing, benign adrenal tumors (Conn s syndrome). Secondary hyperaldosteronism is caused by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Various dtugs, in particular diuretics, cause or exaggerate secondary peadosteronism. [Pg.606]

The kidney contains the major site of renin synthesis, the juxtaglomerular cells in the wall of the afferent arteriole. From these cells, renin is secreted not only into the circulation but also into the renal interstitium. Moreover, the enzyme is produced albeit in low amounts by proximal tubular cells. These cells also synthesize angiotensinogen and ACE. The RAS proteins interact in the renal interstitium and in the proximal tubular lumen to synthesize angiotensin II. In the proximal tubule, angiotensin II activates the sodium/hydrogen exchanger (NHE) that increases sodium reabsorption. Aldosterone elicits the same effect in the distal tubule by activating epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) and the sodium-potassium-ATPase. Thereby, it also induces water reabsotption and potassium secretion. [Pg.1067]

Tyrosine hydroxylase 1 Thiazide diuretics, a group of drugs with moderate diuretic activity, includes hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, and xipamide. They decrease active reabsorption of sodium and accompanying chloride by binding to the chloride site of the electroneutral Na+/CF cotransport system in the distal convoluted tubule and inhibiting its action. [Pg.1198]

Osmotic diuretics increase the density of the filtrate in the glomerulus. This prevents selective reabsorption of water, which allows the water to be excreted. Sodium and chloride excretion is also increased. [Pg.446]

Thiazides and related diuretics inhibit the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the ascending portion of the loop of Henle and the early distal tubule of the nephron. This action results in the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. [Pg.446]

In addition to excess sodium intake, abnormal renal sodium retention may be the primary event in the development of hypertension, and it includes abnormalities in the pressure-natriuresis mechanism. In hypertensive individuals, this theory proposes a shift in the control mechanism preventing the normalization of blood pressure. The mechanisms behind the resetting of the pressure-natriuresis curve may include afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction, decreased glomerular ultrafiltration, or an increase in tubular sodium reabsorption.4 Other theories supporting abnormal renal sodium retention suggest a congenital reduction in the number of nephrons, enhanced renin secretion from nephrons that are ischemic, or an acquired compensatory mechanism for renal sodium retention.9... [Pg.13]

Two types of diuretics are used for volume management in HF thiazides and loop diuretics. Thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, and metolazone block sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. Thiazides are weaker than loop diuretics in terms of effecting an increase in urine output and therefore are not utilized frequently as monotherapy in HF. They are optimally suited for patients with hypertension who have mild congestion. Additionally, the action of thiazides is limited in patients with renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/minute) due to reduced secretion into their site of action. An exception is metolazone, which retains its potent action in patients with renal dysfunction. Metolazone is often used in combination with loop diuretics when patients exhibit diuretic resistance, defined as edema unresponsive to loop diuretics alone. [Pg.44]

Abnormally high concentrations of sodium and chloride are found in sweat due to impaired reabsorption within the sweat duct from loss of CFTR channels. Patients are usually asymptomatic (other than a characteristic salty taste to the skin).2 In rare instances such as hot weather or excessive sweating during physical activity, patients may become dehydrated and experience symptoms of hyponatremia (nausea, headache, lethargy, and confusion). Similar CFTR defects are also seen in the salivary glands, manifested by increased saliva viscosity and impaired salivary function. [Pg.247]

While some clinical and laboratory findings assist in the general diagnosis of ARF, others are used to differentiate between prerenal, intrinsic, and postrenal ARF. For example, patients with prerenal ARF typically demonstrate enhanced sodium reabsorption, which is reflected by a low urine sodium concentration and a low fractional excretion of sodium. Urine is typically more concentrated with prerenal ARF and there is a higher urine osmolality and urine plasma creatinine ratio compared to intrinsic and postrenal ARF. [Pg.364]

Prolonged administration of loop diuretics can lead to a second type of diuretic resistance. Enhanced delivery of sodium to the distal tubule can result in hypertrophy of distal convoluted cells.17 Subsequently, increased sodium chloride absorption occurs in the distal tubule which diminishes the effect of the loop diuretic on sodium excretion. Addition of a distal convoluted tubule diuretic, such as metolazone or hydrochlorothiazide, to a loop diuretic can result in a synergistic increase in urine output. There are no data to support the efficacy of one distal convoluted tubule diuretic over another. The common practice of administering the distal convoluted tubule diuretic 30 to 60 minutes prior to the loop diuretic has not been studied, although this practice may first inhibit sodium reabsorption at the distal convoluted tubule before it is inundated with sodium from the loop of Henle. [Pg.366]

Sodium and water balance are primarily regulated by the kidney Reductions in nephron mass decrease glomerular filtration and subsequent reabsorption of sodium and water, leading to edema. [Pg.380]
