_____ is the volume of plasma completely cleared of a substance by the kidneys per unit time

_____ syndrome is a renal tubular defect that increases activity of the epithelial Na+ channel

_____ is a neurotransmitter that may be secreted by cells of the PCT of the nephron

_____ clearance can be used to calculate GFR because it is freely filtered and is not reabsorbed or secreted

ACE inhibitors and ARBs primarily cause _____ of the efferent arteriole of the kidney

An _____ in the filtration fraction is associated with a decrease in the Renal Plasma Flow (RPF).

Hint: increase/decrease

_____ levels of angiotensin II primarily causes vasoconstriction of the renal efferent arterioles

A _____ shift in renal pressure natriuresis curve is caused by angiotensin II by increasing Na and water retention

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by _____ or elevated levels of ADH
