Reabsorption
• Principles governing the tubular reabsorption
of solutes and water
Filtrate is similar to
interstitial fluid.
1 Na+ is reabsorbed by active transport.

4 Concentrations of other solutes
increase as fluid volume in lumen
decreases. Permeable solutes are
reabsorbed by diffusion.

Reabsorption
• Transepithelial transport
• Substances cross both apical (lumen side) and
basolateral membrane
• Paracellular pathway
• Substances pass through the junction between
two adjacent cells
Reabsorption
• Sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule
Filtrate is similar to
interstitial fluid.
Na+ reabsorbed
1 Na+ enters cell through membrane proteins,
moving down its electrochemical gradient.
2 Na+ is pumped out the basolateral side
of cell by the Na+-K+-ATPase.

1 Na+ moving down its electrochemical gradient
using the SGLT protein pulls glucose into the
cell against its concentration gradient.

the cell using the GLUT protein.

• Passive reabsorption
• Plasma proteins
• Transcytosis
Reabsorption
Transport rate of substrate (mg/min)
• Saturation of mediated transport
Transport maximum (Tm) is transport
rate at saturation.
Saturation occurs.
Renal threshold is
plasma concentration
at which saturation
occurs.

Secretion
• Transfer of molecules from extracellular fluid
into lumen of the nephron
• Active process
• Important in homeostatic regulation
• K+ and H+
• Increasing secretion enhances nephron
excretion
• A competitive process
• Penicillin and probenecid
Excretion
• Excretion = filtration – reabsorption +
secretion
• Clearance
• Rate at which a solute disappears from the
body by excretion or by metabolism
• Non-invasive way to measure GFR
• Inulin and creatinine used to measure GFR
Inulin Clearance
• Inulin clearance is equal to GFR

Gout
•
Limit animal protein. Avoid or severely limit highpurine foods, including organ meats, such as
liver, and herring, anchovies and mackerel. Red
meat (beef, pork and lamb), fatty fish and seafood
(tuna, shrimp, lobster and scallops) are associated
with increased risk of gout. Because all animal
protein contains purines, limit your intake.
•
Eat more plant-based proteins. You can increase
your protein by including more plant-based
sources, such as beans and legumes. This switch
will also help you cut down on saturated fats, which
may indirectly contribute to obesity and gout.
•
Limit or avoid alcohol. Alcohol interferes with the
elimination of uric acid from your body. Drinking
beer, in particular, has been linked to gout attacks
