Diabetes Mellitus: Large volume of glucose-containing urine Why is there glucose in the urine? Why is urine volume increased? Consider the following case: Blood volume decreases, so we retain more water (i.e., what we discussed during the previous class) But that would cause dilution of the body fluids … Tubular reabsorption of Na Proximal Tubule Distal Tubule 65% 3-5% Filter ~ 1 lb of Na daily Loop of Henle 25-30% Collecting Tubule 1-3% Glomerulus Proximal Tubule Sodium Reabsorption Proximal Tubule Epithelial Cell Tubular Lumen Capillary Lumen (blood) (urine) Na+ 2K+ ATP H+ H+ 3 Na+ Na+ glucose amino acids PO42- Na+ H2O 3 HCO3- OHCO2 Loop of Henle Sodium Reabsorption – thick ascending limb Ascending Thick Limb of the Loop of Henle Epithelial Cell Tubular Lumen Capillary Lumen (blood) (urine) Na+ 2K+ ATP 3 Na+ 2 ClK+ K+ recycling K+ + Na+ Ca+2 Mg+2 Cl- ROMK channel Paracellular Pathway - Point: if there are abnormalities in the various transport processes involved in Na+ reabsorption, there are serious consequences in terms of volume and osmotic regulation.

Model for the early transcriptional action of aldosterone on ENaC function. The ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2 that tonically inhibits ENaC surface expression is highlighted in red, and red dashed arrows indicate pathways downregulating ENaC that are antagonized by aldosterone. Blue boxes represent the regulatory proteins implicated in the early aldosterone action that are rapidly induced via activated MR. The blue lines terminated by a dash indicate at what level these regulatory proteins interfere with ENaC inhibition. Verrey et al. Kidney International (2008) 73: 691-696 Figure 1. Regulation of ENaC activity in the distal nephron Left-hand panel: Segments of the distal nephron including the distal convoluted tubule (DCT; dark grey), connecting tubule (CNT; black), cortical collecting duct (CCD; light grey) and medullary collecting duct (MCD; white) are shown. The juxtamedullary nephrons have a long connecting tubule. Right-hand panel: Schematic of the principal cell of the connecting tubule or cortical collecting duct. Aldosterone (Aldo) binds mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the nucleus to stimulate expression of several genes: some important examples are shown. Aldosterone may also have non-genomic effects in the cortical collecting duct/connecting tubule (not shown). Nedd4 and Nedd4-2 promote endocytosis and ubiquitination of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) regulates ENaC via inhibition of Nedd4-2 and possibly by a direct mechanism. Furin and channel-activating protease (CAP) proteins activate ENaC by proteolysis. Ub(n) is a polyubiquitin moiety and ER is the endoplasmic reticulum.

Hoorn E J et al. JASN 2011;22:605-614 So, Aldosterone is important, but what controls aldosterone secretion?

Effects of increased renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) on the 3 renal neuroeffectors: the juxtaglomerular granular cells (JGCC) with increased renin secretion rate (RSR) via stimulation of 1-adrenoceptors (AR), the renal tubular epithelial cells (T) with increased renal tubular sodium reabsorption and decreased urinary sodium excretion (UNaV) via stimulation of 1B-AR, and the renal vasculature (V) with decreased renal blood flow (RBF) via stimulation of 1A-AR.

Figure 29-2 Renal tubular sites of potassium reabsorption and secretion. Potassium is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and in the ascending loop of Henle, so that only about 8 per cent of the filtered load is delivered to the distal tubule. Secretion of potassium into the late distal tubules and collecting ducts adds to the amount delivered, so that the daily excretion is about 12 per cent of the potassium filtered at the glomerular capillaries. The percentages indicate how much of the filtered load is reabsorbed or secreted into the different tubular segments. ROMK Figure 29-3 Mechanisms of potassium secretion and sodium reabsorption by the principal cells of the late distal and collecting tubules. Figure 29-4 Effect of plasma aldosterone concentration (red line) and extracellular potassium ion concentration (black line) on the rate of urinary potassium excretion. These factors stimulate potassium secretion by the principal cells of the cortical collecting tubules. (Drawn from data in Young DB, Paulsen AW: Interrelated effects of aldosterone and plasma potassium on potassium excretion. Am J Physiol 244:F28, 1983.) Figure 29-5 Effect of extracellular fluid potassium ion concentration on plasma aldosterone concentration. Note that small changes in potassium concentration cause large changes in aldosterone concentration. Figure 29-8 Effect of large changes in potassium intake on extracellular fluid potassium concentration under normal conditions (red line) and after the aldosterone feedback had been blocked (blue line). Note that after blockade of the aldosterone system, regulation of potassium concentration was greatly impaired. (Courtesy Dr. David B. Young.) Figure 29-9 Effect of high sodium intake on renal excretion of potassium. Note that a high-sodium diet decreases plasma aldosterone, which tends to decrease potassium secretion by the cortical collecting tubules. However, the high-sodium diet simultaneously increases fluid delivery to the cortical collecting duct, which tends to increase potassium secretion. The opposing effects of a high-sodium diet counterbalance each other, so that there is little change in potassium excretion. Model of the “aldosterone paradox.” Two pathophysiological settings are depicted: hypovolemia (left) and hyperkalemia (right). Hoorn E J et al. JASN 2011;22:605-614 The key point to take away from this is that the overall effect on Na+ reabsorption versus K+ secretion in the nephron is dependent upon whether the increase in aldosterone occurs with or without an increase in AngII.

Why?) Is coffee a diuretic? (Caffeine intake ~ 300 mg/day) TBW measured by dilution of D2O In higher doses, caffeine is a diuretic; its action is mostly on the proximal tubule to reduce Na+ reabosorpton Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 313: 403-409, 2005 Caffeine dose: 45 mg/kg oral ~5-7 cups of coffee per day A1 knockout mice And to put this back into physiology, the adenosine A1 receptors are Macula densa required for the signaling of tubuloglomerular feedback!
