Renal Function
Urinary System
Filter blood
Eliminate liquid waste (urea)
Keep chemicals in balance
Create urine
Expel urine
Kidney
Bladder Ureters

Kidneys
Remove waste products and drugs from the body
Balance the body's fluids
Release hormones to regulate blood pressure
Control production of red blood cells

The Working Part
Of The Kidney
90-100% Stage 1 Kidney damage with normal kidney function
89-60% Stage 2 Kidney damage with mild loss of kidney function
59-45% Stage 3aMild to moderate loss of kidney function
44-30% Stage 3bModerate to severe loss of kidney function
29-15% Stage 4 Severe loss of kidney function
< 15% Stage 5 Kidney failure
GFR-Glomerular Filtration Rate
Adrenal Glands
Top of kidneys
Right is shape of pyramid
Left is semilunar shape and a bit larger
Produce hormones vital to health
Cortisol-for stress
Aldosterone- helps control BP
Adrenal Glands
K.Sparks
Adrenal Cortex
Zona Fasciculata-Cortisol
• Negative feedback loop in hypothalamus and pituitary gland
Zona Glomerulosa-Aldosterone
• Regulates BP, electrolytes and blood pH
Zona Reticularis-DHEA and Androgenic Steroids
• Weak Male Hormones
Adrenal Medulla-Adrenaline (epinephrine) and Noradrenaline (norepinephrine)
Increasing heart rate
Increasing heart contractions
Increasing blood flow to muscles and brain
Relaxing airway smooth muscles
Assisting with glucose metabolism
Vasoconstriction
Adrenal Glands Functions
Capsule
Blood Vessels
Medulla Cortex
Regulation of
Hypertension or
Hypovolemia
Regulation of Hypotension or Hypovolemia
Renin release
Angiotensin from Liver
Converted by renin becomes Angiotensin I
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to Angiotensin II
Binds to cause vasoconstriction
Aldosterone increases NA
absorption which increases volume
(-)
(-)
Angiotensin Produced in the liver Angiotensin I
Converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) on vascular endothelium
Site of action of ACE inhibitors Angiotensin II
Site of action of Binds angiotensin receptors ARBs
Increased Blood volume Increased Blood
pressure
Low afferent arteriole pressure
Decreased NaCl delivery to macula densa
Hypertension or Hypovolemia
Renal hypoperfusion Activation of aortic/carotid
baroreceptors
Increased sympathetic tone
Converted by Renin Renin release From juxtaglomerular cells of
nephrons
Vasoconstriction
Increased sympathetic NS activity Aldosterone release (from adrenal cortex) Increased Na absorption (in proximal tubule) Endothelial dysfunction
Prothrombotic effects (increases PAI-1)
Autoregulation
To minimize changes in Renal blood flow and
Glomerular filtration rate at different blood
pressure values.

Autoregulation of the Renal Blood Flow (RBF) and
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
The major function of autoregulation in the kidneys, is to maintain a relatively constant GFR and to allow very precise control of the renal excretion of water and solutes .
