03 Renal Physiology 1
- only in extracellular space, injected
- albumin: only in plasma, not interstitial
_
- only portion of fluid perfusing tissues
- theoretical volume
Kidney Function
- sufficient urine = kidney working, but very crude measurement
- filtration fraction: percentage of all blood in kidney filtered
- FF: RPF not RBF
_
- left: high osmotic pressure
- right: low osmotic pressure
- high pressure draw water away from low pressure side
- high oncotic pressure in glomerulus, but even higher hydrostatic pressure that drive water out into bowman's space
- decreased renal plasma flow overall, less blood perfusion kidney
- increase FF
- multiple myeloma
- same amount of blood in and out of kidney (afferent = efferent)
