2. Plan
• Autoregulation of the kidneys
o (Tubuloglomerular feedback, glomerulotubular balance, pressure diuresis)
• Role of kidneys in regulation of osmolarity and
volume
• Renal sodium regulation
• Renal potassium regulation
• Renal calcium regulation
• Methods for studying renal function
o (Tubular fluid-to-plasma concentration, determination of the renal blood
volume, dilution test, micro-puncture, microperfusion, patch-clamp
method, determination of clearance, insulin clearance, creatinin
clearance, Zimnitsky’s test, concentration test)
3. Autoregulation Of The
Kidneys
• Includes 3 components:
1) Tubuloglomerular Feedback
2) Glomerulotubular Balance
3) Pressure Diuresis
4. 1) Tubuloglomerular Feedback
• Has 3 components:
afferent arteriole, efferent
arteriole and macula
densa.
• The macula densa cells
sense the changes in the
volume of delivery to the
distal tubule. Decrease in
NaCl concetration initiates
a signal from the macula
densa cell what has two
effects: 1- it increases renin
release from the
juxtaglomerular cells of
afferent and efferent
arterioles. 2- it decreases
resistance of the afferent
arterioles (dilation).
5. • Renin: enzyme, which
catalyses the destruction
of angiotensin (plasma
protein produced in the
liver) into angiotensin I
(catalysed by converting
enzyme to form
(glomerular filtration
rate)
angiotensin II).
• Effects of Angiotensin II:
o Stimulates aldosterone secretion
o Constrict the arterioles and ↑
arterial pressure
o Stimulates Na+
reabsorption, mainly in the
proximal tubulles
o Constrict efferent arterioles
o Facilitates release of ADH
o ↑ thirst
o Facilitates release of
prostaglandins
6. 2) Glomerulotubular Balance
• Is the intrisic ability of the
tubules to increase their
reabsorption rate in
response to increased
tubular inflow.
• (The balance between
reabsorption of solutes in
the proximal renal tubules
and glomerular
filtration, which must be as
constant as possible. If the
glomerular filtration rate rises
or falls, the rate of tubular
reabsorption must rise or fall
proportionally. Balance is
maintained by
neural, hormonal, and other
mechanisms).
7. 3) Pressure Diuresis
• Is a phenomena which shows that even a
small increase in arterial pressure often causes
marked increase in urinary excretion of Na+
and water.
• (increased urinary excretion of water when
arterial pressure increases, a compensatory
mechanism to maintain blood pressure within
the normal range).
8. Role of the Kidneys in Regulation
of Osmolarity and Volume
• Kidney excretes excess
water in hyperhydrationin
the form of dilute urine or
save water in dehydration
by excreting concentrated
urine.
• Central osmoreceptors
(hypothalamus) and
peripheral osmoreceptors
(kidneys, liver, spleen and
blood vessels) sense
changes in blood osmolarity
and send information to the
hypothalamus, which
regulates the concentration
of ADH in the blood.
9. • Also volume receptors
in blood vessels and
the left atrium
baroreceptors send
impulses to the CNS to
regulate the volume of
blood.
• ADH increases the
water permability of
the distal
tubules, collecting
tubules and collecting
ducts. More water is
retained in the body to
help stabilize the
extracellular volume.
10. Renal Sodium Regulation
• Na+ excreted= Na+filtered –
Na+ reabsorbed
• The low total body Na+:
causes low
cardiovascular
pressure, which from
venous, atrial, arterial
baroreceptors, initiates
reflexes that:
o 1) restore the cardiovascular
pressure (from direct action on
the cardiovascular system – SNS)
o 2) lower GFR (glomerular filtrate
rate) and increase Na+ • Stimulates Na+/K+ active
reabsorption (aldosterone). transport in the basement
membrane
• Aldosterone: stimulates the • Stimulates Na+ reabsorption (and

glands.
13. Methods Studying Renal Function
• Tubular Fluid-to-Plasma
concentration (TF/P)
o TFosm/Posm=1 (tubular fluid is
isosmotic with respect to
plasma)
o TFosm/Posm<1 (tubular fluid is
hyposmotic with respect to
plasma)
o TFosm/Posm>1 (tubular fluid is
hyperosmotic with respect to
plasma)
• (collect fluid inside and outside
of nephron with micropipete
and compare).

important role in studying
the formation of urine.
