Renal — Flashcards

The _____ and _____ limbs (loop of Henle) are impermeable to water

In addition to ICF and ECF, a small _____ fluid compartment consists of cerebrospinal, pleural, peritoneal, and digestive fluids

How does the fractional excretion of Na+ (FENa) change in prerenal azotemia? _____

Some _____ in the cells of the thick ascending limb diffuse back into the lumen, creating a lumen positive potential difference

When a person is on a low K+ diet, K+ can be reabsorbed in the terminal nephron segments by the _____ cells

What equation may be used to calculate the fractional excretion of sodium given the patient's GFR? FENa = _____

[TF/P]x _____ 1 when the solute is reabsorbed less quickly than water

Following the distal convoluted tubule, glomerular filtrate enters the _____

_____ is defined as distilled water that is free of solutes

In principal cells, increased ENaC activity (due to aldosterone) causes increased lumen _____
