OBJECTIVES • Describe the overall handling of Na+ by nephron.• Discriminate the mechanism of reabsorption of Na+ in
different parts of nephron • Describe the tubular reabsorption of water• Explain the concept of tubule glomerular feedback and
glomerulo tubular balance • Discuss how various drugs affect the reabsorption of
sodium (Diuretics).• Illustrate the renal mechanism of regulation of Na+
excretion.(effect of sympathetic , ANP, Starlings forces,& renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism )
Sodium Balance
• Na+ is major cation in ECF
Amount of sodium in ECF
Volume of ECF
Plasma volume
Blood volume
Blood pressure
Sodium content VS Sodium concentration
• Na+ concentration is determined not only by the amount of Na+ present but also by the volume of water.
• For example, – a person can have an increased Na+ content but a
normal Na+ concentration (if water content is increased proportionately).
– Or, a person can have an increased Na+ concentration with a normal Na+ content (if water content is decreased).
OVERALL HANDLING OF NA+
Na+ Reabsorption• An active Na+ - K+ ATPase
pump in basolateral membrane is essential for Na+ reabsorption
• Of total energy spent by kidneys, 80% is used for Na+ transport
• Na+ is not reabsorbed in the descending limb of the loop of Henle
• Water follows reabsorbed sodium by osmosis which has a main effect on blood volume and blood pressure
Tubule area % of Na+
reabsorbedRole of Na+ reabsorption
Proximal tubule 67% Plays role in reabsorbing glucose, amino acids, H2O, Cl-, and urea
Ascending limb of the loop of Henle
25% Plays critical role in kidneys’ ability to produce urine of varying concentrations
Distal and collecting tubules
8% Variable and subject to hormonal control; plays role in regulating ECF volume
Diuretics that act here:- a)Osmotic diuretics – Mannitol,Urea etc b)Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors - Azetazolamide
Cellular mechanisms of Na+ reabsorption in the early proximal tubule
Cellular mechanisms of Na+ reabsorption in the late proximal tubule
Isosmotic Reabsorption• Na+ enters the cell across the luminal membrane
water follows the solute to maintain isosmolarity.
• Na+ is pumped out of the cell by the Na+-K+ ATPase, at basolateral membranes, water again follows passively.
• Isosmotic fluid accumulates in lateral intercellular space between the proximal tubule cells.
• This isosmotic fluid is reabsorbed in peritubular capillary blood due to high oncotic pressure in peritubular capillaries (πc) .
Mechanism of isosmotic reabsorption in the proximal tubule
Regulation of Tubular Reabsorption
Glomerulotubular Balance
• Tubular reabsorption increases/decreases automatically as the filtered load increases/ decreases.
• Glomerulotubular balance ensures that a constant fraction of the filtered load is reabsorbed by the proximal tubule, even if the filtered load increases or decreases.
• Glomerulotubular balance ensures that normally 67% of the filtered Na+ and water is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule
Glomerulotubular Balance
Increase in GFR
Increase in filtration fraction Increase in concentration of protein in
peritubular capillaries
Increase in πc
Increase reabsorption in proximal tubule
Effects of ECF volume expansion & ECF volume contraction on isosmotic fluid reabsorption in the
proximal tubule
PROXIMAL TUBULEPoints to ponder
• Reabsorbs 67% of the filtered Na+. • Reabsorbs 67% of the filtered water. • The tight coupling between Na+ and water
reabsorption is called isosmotic reabsorption.• This bulk reabsorption of Na+ and water (the major
constituents of ECF) is critically important for maintaining ECF volume.
• The site of glomerulotubular balance, a mechanism for coupling reabsorption to the GFR.
Cellular mechanism of Na+ reabsorption in the early distal tubule
Thick Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle(points to ponder)
• Load dependent reabsorption
• Electrogenic– The role of lumen possitive potential is
driving the reabsorption of Mg & Ca
• Impermeable to water
Cellular mechanism of Na+ reabsorption in the early distal tubule
EARLY DISTAL TUBULE
• IMPERMEABLE TO WATER • CORTICAL DILUTING SEGMENT
Late distal tubule
• Principal cell :Na+ reabsorption & K+ secretion
• α- inetercalted cells K+ reabsorption & H+ secretion
Late distal tubule(points to ponder)
• Na+ reabsorption in these segments is hormonally regulated. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that acts directly on the principal cells to increase Na+ reabsorption
• Water permeability of principal cells is controlled by ADH
Regulation of sodium balance
• EABV: Portion of ECF that is in arteries & is the volume effectively perfusing the tissues
• The renal mechanism to regulate the Na excretion are – Sympathetic nerve activity– Atriopeptin (ANP)– Starling’s forces in peritubular capillaries– Renin-angiotensin aldosterone system
– Sympathetic nerve activityIn response to dec arterial pressureV.C of aff arteriole & inc Na reabsorption in proximal

– Starlinf forcess in peritubular capillaries
– Renin-angiotensin aldosterone system – In respose to decrease in arterial pressure– Angiotensin II inc reabsorption of Na in proximal
tubule – Aldosterne inc reabsorption of Na in distal tubule
