Blood Supply to the Kidneys
the nephrons
kidney contains ± 1,2 million nephrons
consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule
consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Henle
nephron is glomerulus which is located within the Bowman's capsule
Function of the Kidney
Bowman’s capsules - with glomerulus

filtration by closing some of the capillaries – effects surface area
GLOMERULAR FILTRATION
The first step in the formation of urine is the production of a plasma ultrafiltrate. The ultrafiltrate is cell and protein-free and the concentration of small solutes are
the same as in plasma.
The filtration barrier restricts movement of solutes on a basis of size and charge.
Molecules < 1.8 nm freely filtered; >3.6 nm not filtered Cations are more readily filtered than anions for the same molecular radius. Serum albumin has a radius if about 3.5 nm but its negative charge prevents its filtration In many disease processes the negative charge on the filtration barrier is lost so that proteins are more readily filtered - a condition called proteinuria The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is about 125 ml/min in a normal adult

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure, PGC, is high and relatively constant ≈45 mmHg. This is offset by a pressure in Bowman’s capsule PBC ≈10 mm Hg Net filtrative force is: ≈ 35 mm Hg PGC-PBC

THE GLOMERULUS - THE STARLING EQUILIBRIUM The glomerulus is unusual with respect to most capillary beds.
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure, PGC, is high and constant ≈45 mmHg. This is offset by a pressure in Bowman’s capsule PBC ≈10mmHg Net filtrative force is:≈ 35 mm Hg
Osmotic pressure, ΠGS, ≈25 mm Hg. Due to the large net filtration of fluid ΠGS increases along the capillary to 35 mm Hg to achieve a balance of forces. PGC-PBC

FILTRATION FRACTION Filtration fraction is an important expression of the extent of glomerular filtration. It is the ratio: Filtration fraction = Glomerular filtration rate Renal plasma flow It is the fraction of renal plasma flow that is filtered at the glomerulus
RPF 750 ml/min GFR 125 ml/min Renal blood flow 1250 ml/min
Efferent Arteriole 625 ml/min
Urine 1 ml/min
124 ml/min
renal vein glomerulus tubule
Thus, in this example filtration fraction is: 125 750 ≈ 0.17 GFR and RPF can be measured separately using clearance methods Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is about: 125 ml/min Renal blood flow is about: 1250 ml/min Renal plasma flow (RPF) is about: 750 ml/min FILTRATION FRACTION an example Remember: plasma volume is about 60% of total blood volume
RENAL BLOOD FLOW (RBF) Renal blood flow is ≈1.25 l/min -i.e. about 25% of the cardiac output This is a very large flow relative to the weight of the kidneys (≈350 g) Renal blood flow GFR 0 100 200 Arterial blood pressure, mm Hg 1.5 1.0 0.5 Flow, l/min
RBF determines GFR RBF also modifies solute and water
reabsorption and delivers nutrients to nephron cells.
Renal blood flow is autoregulated
between 90 and 180 mm Hg by varying renal vascular resistance (RVR)
i.e. the resistances of the interlobular
artery, afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole
RENAL BLOOD FLOW - AUTOREGULATION Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain autoregulation 1. Myogenic hypothesis When arterial pressure increases the renal afferent arteriole is stretched Autoregulation effectively uncouples renal function from arterial blood pressure and ensures that fluid and solute excretion is constant. Increase of arterial pressure Flow increases Remember: Flow α 1 r4
RENAL BLOOD FLOW - AUTOREGULATION
When arterial pressure increases the renal afferent arteriole is stretched Vascular smooth muscle responds by contracting thus increasing resistance Increase of arterial pressure Increase of vascular tone Flow increases Flow returns to normal
RENAL BLOOD FLOW - AUTOREGULATION
Alteration of tubular flow (or a factor in the filtrate) is sensed by the macula densa of the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) and produces a signal that alters GFR. It is unclear what is the factor (NaCl reabsorption?) or the nature of the signal (renin?).
