To identify: The initial composition of the solute in the hemodialysis dialysate that would be suitable in replacement of the reabsorption and the secretion of the solutes in a functional kidney.
Concept introduction: The composition of the filtrate in the kidney includes glucose, urea, vitamins, salt ions, amino acids and the drugs. The absorption the glucose takes place in the proximal tubules. The reabsorption of salts takes place in the distal tubules. The process of the countercurrent ion transport takes place inside the nephrons of the kidney.
The two processes are the active transport and the passive transport inside the kidney cells. The aquaporin channels are present in the collecting duct, which transport the water and the ions in the body. The substances in the replaced fluid should contain glucose, salt ions like sodium and potassium. The concentration of the urea should be less in the dialysate fluid.

- Which of the following is an example of autoregulation of kidney function? a. The RAAS regulates Na1 by secreting renin when blood pressure or blood volume decreases. b. The ADH system regulates water balance by decreasing water reabsorption and increasing excretion of salt. c. Receptors in the juxtaglomerular apparatus detect a higher salt concentration in the distal convoluted tubule and trigger constriction of the afferent arteriole to reduce glomerular filtration rate. d. ANF is released by the kidney to increase renin release. e. Angiotensin II lowers blood pressure by constricting arterioles.arrow_forwardThe renal handling of a novel drug is being studied. When the drug is present in the blood, it is filtered into the Bowman’s capsule and secreted via transport proteins in the renal tubules, but it is NOT reabsorbed. The lines on the following graph represent filtration, secretion and excretion rates of this drug at various plasma concentrations. For the three lines shown (labeled A-C) identify which line represents filtration, which line represents secretion, and which line represents excretion Explain how you determined this.arrow_forwardIs this corrarrow_forward
- The activity below illustrates the effect of which of the following? Choose from the following: (A) concentration osmotic gradient effect without ADH or aldosterone (B) concentration osmotic gradient effect with aldosterone (C) concentration osmotic gradient effect with anti-diuretic hormonearrow_forwardDon't copy from Googlearrow_forward. If a person takes a loop diuretic, for example furosemide, for a prolonged period of time, what effectwill it have on the osmotic gradient in the renal medulla? Will this effect tend to increase or decreaseurine output?arrow_forward
