What does the kidney do?
Kidneys filter plasma to regulate the makeup of the interstitial fluid and blood.

I. Specific Functions of the Kidney:
1. Form urine: (95% water, 5% solutes)
A. Removal of metabolic waste from plasma
i. urea (protein breakdown)
ii. uric acid (nucleic acid breakdown)- insoluble in blood- can precipitate out in blood and cause gout
iii. creatinine (muscular creatine phosphate breakdown)

4. Internal anatomy of a kidney:
The kidney has three main regions:
A. Renal Cortex - outer region (granular)
B. Renal Medulla
- inner region (striated)
- consists of a number of triangular structures called renal pyramids
C. Renal pelvis - major calyces

V. Closer look at renal processes
1. glomerular filtration
- glomerular filtrate has essentially the same concentrations of solutes as blood plasma, minus proteins
![Page 27: 1 Brief overview of mammalian renal physiology Jason Williams University of Nevada Las Vegas 2-28-07](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e225503460f94b0f06a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
A. Glomerular filtrate passes through three layers
i. Single-celled capillary endothelium ↓
ii. Non-cellular proteinaceous
layer of basement membrane. ↓
iii. Single-celled epithelium
lining (podocytes)
![Page 28: 1 Brief overview of mammalian renal physiology Jason Williams University of Nevada Las Vegas 2-28-07](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e225503460f94b0f06a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

B. Forces involved in filtration
Net glomerular filtration
pressure=
PGC-PBS-πGC
55 - 15 - 30 = 10mmHG
![Page 29: 1 Brief overview of mammalian renal physiology Jason Williams University of Nevada Las Vegas 2-28-07](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e225503460f94b0f06a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

C. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
GFR = the volume of fluid/plasma filtered from the glomeruli to the Bowman’s space per unit
time.
GFR = 180 L/day for average adult
blood volume filtered ~60 times per day
GFR is under physiological regulation
![Page 30: 1 Brief overview of mammalian renal physiology Jason Williams University of Nevada Las Vegas 2-28-07](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e225503460f94b0f06a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

33
B. Brief Materials and Methods: (Cont.)
2. Determine amount of inulin in serum and urine sample
3. Calculate GFR in milliliters:
(Urine conc. of inulin) X (urine volume) (serum conc. of inulin)
4. Report final GFR as: ml min-1 kg-1
![Page 34: 1 Brief overview of mammalian renal physiology Jason Williams University of Nevada Las Vegas 2-28-07](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e225503460f94b0f06a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Ccr = creatinine clearance rate
- Creatinine produced endogenously- typically only filtered- measured in same fashion as inulin GFR
