what are forces that favor filtration?
- bowman’s capsule colloid osmotic pressure of 0 (pulling in)
what are forces that oppose filtration?
bowman’s capsule hydrostatic pressure 18 mmHg (pushing against)
glomerular capillary osmotic pressure 32 mmHg (pulling in)
what is the net filtration pressure in the glomerular capsule?
10 mmHg
what is the best way to increase urine output?
increase perfusion to kidneys by increasing BP, which increases filtration pressure
how is GFR normally preserved?
autoregulation: maintaining constant RBF over a range of systemic BP with MAP 50-150 mmHg
* HTN pts. have higher GFR when RBF is constant
* CHF pts. have decreased RBF and GFR
describe autoregulation
what makes up urine besides water?
solutes
what determines urine excretion rate?
filtration rate - reabsorption rate + secretion rate
