Summary Introduction
To determine: The two-solute models that enable the production of hyperosmotic urine.
Introduction: The hyperosmotic urine is the urine that contains more amount of solutes and less amount of water in it. The kidney can produce a maximal urine concentration of about 1200 to 1400 mOsm/L. When there is deficient of water in the bod the hypothalamus releases the anti-diuretic hormone which increases the expression of aquaporin in the renal lumen that results in the absorption of water from the filtrate that results in the formation of hyperosmotic urine.

One type of diuretic given to people with high blood pressure, renal disease and congestive heart failure are thiazide-type diuretics. These drugs inhibit sodium ion reabsorption by inhibiting the transport in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
A) What does it mean to inhibit the transport of sodium ions in the loop of Henle?
B) Explain how this inhibition of sodium ions in the loop of Henle could help increase urine production.
Active transport requires the use of ATP. Identify two ions that require active transport to be selectively reabsorbed.
When the kidneys filter plasma, the filtered glucose is reabsorbed from the renal tubules and is not passed in the urine. However, glucose can appear in the urine when the blood sugar is exceptionally high.
Given that glucose is reabsorbed by carrier-mediated transport, what functional aspect of carrier-mediated transport does the appearance of glucose in urine demonstrate? Explain.

- Mannitol is a sugar that does not pass through the walls of capillaries in the brain. It also does not cross the wall of kidney tubules, the structures that transport blood filtrate to become urine. Explain why mannitol can be considered as osmotically active. How might its clinical administration help to prevent swelling of the brain in head trauma? Also, explain the effect it might have on the water content of urine.arrow_forwardGiven: A patient’s GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is 125 ml/min, and his urine is produced at a rate of 1.25 ml/min.

- Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?arrow_forwardRenin is secreted in response to hypovolemia or to an increase in the osmolality of the blood. Provide three possible mechanisms by which these conditions may stimulate rennin secretion. What are the consequences of increased rennin secretion that lead to increased aldosterone secretion? Present this sequence of events. Why are angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) used as a common therapy for hypertension? How do they influence blood pressure? Are plasma levels of renin elevated or depressed in a patient with Conn’s disease? Why?arrow_forwardA 28-year-old man has a fasting serum glucose concentration of 140 mg/dL and a glomerular filtration rate of 125 ml/min.
