Слайд 16The Glomerular Capillary Membrane
is similar to that of other capillaries,
except that it has three (instead of the usual two)
major layers:
(1) the endothelium of the capillary,
(2) a basement membrane, and
(3) a layer of epithelial cells (podocytes) surrounding the outer surface of the capillary basement membrane

Слайд 36Composition of the Glomerular Filtrate
The glomerular filtrate is essentially protein-free
and devoid of cellular elements
The concentrations of a few low-molecular-weight
substances, including most salts and organic molecules, are similar to the concentrations in the plasma.
Exceptions:
Almost one half of the plasma calcium and most of the plasma fatty acids are bound to proteins, and these bound portions are not filtered through the glomerular capillaries.
Слайд 39Determinants of the GFR
The sum of the hydrostatic and colloid
osmotic forces across the glomerular membrane, which gives the net
filtration pressure
The glomerular capillary filtration coefficient, Kf.
Expressed mathematically, the GFR equals the product of Kf and the net filtration pressure:
GFR = Kf \ Net filtration pressure
Слайд 41GFR = Kf / (PG – PB – pG +
pB)
These forces include
hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerular capillaries (glomerular
hydrostatic pressure, PG), which promotes filtration;
the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman’s capsule (PB) outside the capillaries, which opposes filtration;
the colloid osmotic pressure of the glomerular capillary plasma proteins (pG), which opposes filtration;
the colloid osmotic pressure of the proteins in Bowman’s capsule (pB), which promotes filtration.
Under normal conditions pB = 0.

Слайд 45Use of Clearance Methods to Quantify Kidney Function
Слайд 46Clearance of a substance
is the volume of plasma that
is completely cleared of the substance by the kidneys per
unit time.
Слайд 47Clearance of a substance
This concept is somewhat abstract because
there is no single volume of plasma that is completely
cleared of a substance.
However, renal clearance provides a useful way of quantifying the excretory function of the kidneys and, as discussed later, can be used to quantify the rate at which blood flows through the kidneys as well as the basic functions of the kidneys: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion.
Слайд 48Clearance of a substance
To illustrate the clearance principle, consider
the following example: If the plasma passing through the kidneys
contains 1 milligram of a substance in each milliliter and if 1 milligram of this substance is also excreted into the urine each minute, then 1 ml/min of the plasma is “cleared” of the substance.
Thus, clearance refers to the volume of plasma that would be necessary to supply the amount of substance excreted in the urine per unit time.
Слайд 49The Clearance Rate of a substances
Cs × Ps = Us
× V,
where
Cs is the clearance rate of a substances,
Ps is the plasma concentration of the substance,
Us is the urine concentration of that substance, and
V is the urine flow rate.
Слайд 50The Clearance Rate of a substances
Cs = (Us × V)
/ Ps ,
where
Cs is the clearance rate of a
substances,
Ps is the plasma concentration of the substance,
Us is the urine concentration of that substance, and
V is the urine flow rate.
Слайд 51Inulin Clearance Can Be Used to Estimate GFR
Слайд 52If a substance is freely filtered and is not reabsorbed
or secreted by the renal tubules, then the rate at
which that substance is excreted in the urine (Us ×V) is equal to the filtration rate of the substance by the kidneys (GFR × Ps).
Thus,
GFR × Ps = Us × V
Слайд 54Inulin, (C6H10O5)n
is not produced in the body, is found in
the roots of certain plants and must be administered intravenously
to a patient to measure GFR.
Слайд 55Creatinine Clearance and Plasma
Creatinine Concentration Can Be
Used to Estimate GFR
Слайд 56Creatinine is a by-product of muscle metabolism and is cleared
from the body fluids almost entirely by glomerular filtration.
Therefore,
the clearance of creatinine canш
also be used to assess GFR. Because measurement of
creatinine clearance does not require intravenous infusion
into the patient, this method is much more widely
used than inulin clearance for estimating GFR clinically.
However, creatinine clearance is not a perfect marker
of GFR because a small amount of it is secreted by the
tubules, so that the amount of creatinine excreted
slightly exceeds the amount filtered.

= GFR / Renal plasma flow

Слайд 60Why Are Large Amounts of Solutes Filtered and Then Reabsorbed
by the Kidneys?
Почему Большие объемы растворенных веществ фильтруют и
затем поглощается почками?
Можно было бы сомнению мудрость фильтрации таких больших количеств воды и растворенных веществ, а затем поглощая большую часть этих веществ.
One might question the wisdom of filtering such large amounts of water and solutes and then reabsorbing most of these substances.
Слайд 61The advantages of a high GFR
It allows the kidneys to
rapidly remove waste products from the body that depend primarily
on glomerular filtration for their excretion.
It allows all the body fluids to be filtered and processed by the kidney many times each day.
