What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
Aldosterone is a hormone that causes the renal tubules to reclaim sodium ions from the filtrate?
true
Which of the following does not impact how much sodium is reabsorbed?
Transport maximum of the renal proximal tubule
Do Thiazide Diuretics decrease renal excretion of Phosphate?
No, Thiazide Diuretics actually increase renal excretion of Phosphate. They inhibit the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, leading to increased excretion of sodium, chloride, and also phosphate.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
How is the high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained?
Counter-current multiplication which occurs on the Vasa Recta helps maintain high osmolarity in the renal medulla Sodium Chloride (NaCl, or salt) is pumped out of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The result is that the renal medulla has a high salt concentration, and therefore a low water concentration.
What hormone causes increase blood sodium levels?
I'm not an expert or anything but sodium is filtered through the blood and excreted by the kidneys. So chronic renal failure will cause it to increase. This goes for potassium and other electrolytes.
What causes renal vein thrombosis in adults?
In adults, renal vein thrombosis can be caused by injury to the abdomen or back, as a result of malignant kidney tumors growing into the renal vein, or as a result of kidney diseases
What does a renal panel test for?
A renal panel is a blood test that looks at several different measures of kidney function. It can be used to diagnose or monitor diseases and conditions that affect the kidneys. It generally includes tests for creatinine blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and electrolytes such as sodium potassium and chloride. It may also include tests for calcium phosphate and uric acid. The renal panel can give doctors a better understanding of how well the kidneys are functioning and can help to diagnose and monitor conditions such as diabetes high blood pressure and kidney failure. Here is a list of the common components of a renal panel: Creatinine Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) Sodium Potassium Chloride Calcium Phosphate Uric acid The renal panel can be an important tool in helping to diagnose and monitor kidney-related diseases and conditions.
What does not impact how much sodium is reabsorbed?
Transport maximum of the renal proximal tubule

Aldosterone is a hormone that causes the renal tubules to reclaim sodium ions from the filtrate?
true
State 2 causes of renal failure?
Most cases of renal failure can be attributed to high blood pressure and diabetes. There are other conditions which can cause renal failure, but it isn't common.
What is forniceal rupture?
A Renal Forniceal rupture is due to outlet obstruction. Hydrostatic pressure increases in the renal pelvis and can result in a rupture.
What is a Renal Panel?
Albumin, BUN, Calcium, Chloride, CO2, Creatinine, Glucose, Phosphorus, Potassium & Sodium.
What part of the renal tubule has an elaborate countercurrent mechanism for reabsorption of sodium and water?
A part of the tubule called the Loop of Henle is involved in the reabsorption of sodium and therefore water.
