Renal Physiology — Flashcards

If the filtered load is _____ than the excretion rate, there has been net reabsorption (reabsorption or secretion)

Creatinine clearance slightly _____-estimates GFR because creatinine is moderately secreted by renal tubules

_____ is the major anion reabsorbed in the early PCT

The _____ of the glomerular filtration barrier contains heparan sulfate, which acts as a negative charge barrier

_____ clearance can be used to calculate effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) because it is both filtered and secreted

_____ is the major anion reabsorbed in the late PCT of the nephron

Glomerulotubular balance describes a balance between filtration in the _____ and reabsorption in the proximal tubule

The _____ and [TF/P]osmolarity ratios both remain at 1 over the course of the PCT

If the filtered load is _____ than the excretion rate, there has been net secretion (reabsorption or secretion)

Atrial natriuretic peptide causes vaso-_____ of afferent arterioles and, to a lesser extent, vaso-constriction of efferent arterioles
