Q
What is normal GFR in men?
What is normal GFR in women?
A
90-130 ml/min men
80-120 ml/min women
2
Q
What is the difference between GFR and creatinine clearance?
A
Creatinine clearance approximates GFR but overestimates it due to the fact that
creatinine is secreted by the proximal tubule as well as filtered by the glomerulus.
3
Q
What does the term myogenic response mean?
A
Smooth muscle in blood vessels respond to transmural pressure elevation with
constriction and to pressure reduction with dilation
4
Q
How much water, sodium and chloride is reabsorbed in the PCT?
A
In the proximal tubule, about 70% of filtered water and sodium and chloride ions are
reabsorbed.
