Proteinuria
Ellen, a 47 year old woman who has suffered from
kidney disease for several years has been diagnosed
with proteinuria. Her legs and feet are so swollen that
she has difficulty walking. Her hands and her left arm
are also swollen. What is proteinuria, and could this
condition play a role in her swollen limbs?
Proteinuria: abnormal urine constituents of protein.
Nonpathological proteinuria: excessive physical
exertion, pregnancy
Pathological (over 150 mg/day): heart failure, severe
hypertension, glomerulonephritis (often initial sign of
asymptomatic renal disease)
Chemical Composition of Urine
95% water and 5% solutes
Nitrogenous wastes: urea, uric acid, and creatinine
Other normal solutes
Na+, K+, PO43–, and SO42–,
Ca2+, Mg2+ and HCO3–
Abnormally high concentrations of any constituent
may indicate pathology
Nitrogenous Wastes
Harmful to body/ primary component of urine
Before amino acids can be oxidized for energy, they
must be deaminated (removal of NH2 (amine group) )
Transamination: transfer of amine group to another acid,
thereby forming a new keto acid
Oxidative deamination: liver removes amine group as ammonia
(NH3) which then combine with CO2 to become urea
Keto acid modification: making keto acids to go into Krebs cycle
Creatinine: from breakdown of creatine P
Uric acid: end product of nucleic acid metabolism
Transamination
Amino acid + Keto acid
(a-ketoglutaric acid)
Liver
3 During keto
acid modification
the keto acids
formed during
transamination are
altered so they can
easily enter the
Krebs cycle
pathways.
1 During
transamination
an amine group
is switched from
an amino acid to
a keto acid.
2 In oxidative
deamination, the
amine group of
glutamic acid is
removed as
ammonia and
combined with CO2
to form urea.

Keto acids ≠ Ketones
Keto-acids
Associated with protein
metabolism
Proteins are metabolized into
amino acids usually for other
proteins
Some amino acids are glucogenic
and can be used for
gluconeogenesis
Some are ketogenic and can be
modified to produce acetyl-CoA
and enter Krebs cycle
Ketones
Associated with lipid metabolism
Usually for gluconeogenesis
Liver metabolizes fatty acids and
produces ketones which it releases
into blood
Ketones can then be used to make
acetyl-CoA and put into Krebs
cycle
Both ketones and keto-acids can
ultimately cause ketoacidosis, but
usually from ketones and lack of
insulin

Renal Homeostatic Imbalances
Rachael has been complaining of frequent and
burning urination, fever, chills and back pain. She
also reported seeing some blood in her urine. Her
physician suspects cystitis. What is cystitis and how
can it cause these symptoms? How is cystitis related
to urinary tract infections? Name two preventive
behaviors for UTI.
Cystitis: Inflammation of the urinary bladder. Most
often caused by bacterial infection and called UTI.
UTI: technically an infection (bacterial) of any part of
urinary system, most often urethra and bladder

Hematuria
Urinary Tract Infections
(includes persistent urge to
urinate, pain and burning with
urination, strong smelling
urine)
Kidney infections
(pyelonephritis)…more likely to
include fever and back pain)
Bladder or kidney stone:
excruciating pain when
blockage and must pass
Medications such as aspirin,
penicillin, heparin.
Kidney injury
Enlarged prostate compressing
urethra, includes difficulty
urinating, persistent need to
urinate
Kidney disease
(glomerulonephritis), can be
result of systemic disease like
diabetes or triggered by viral or
strep infections
Cancer
Strenuous exercise, maybe due
to trauma to bladder,
dehydration, break down of
RBCs,…runners most affected
Prevention of UTI/ cystitis
Drink plenty of water
Drink cranberry juice
Acidity
Antioxidants
Slippery coating?
Avoid coffee and other
stimulants, alcohol and
tobacco

and after
Edema
A pregnant woman complains to her doctor that her
ankles and feet stay swollen all of the time. She is
very worried about this. As her doctor, what would
you tell her?

Figure 25.1
Fluid Movement Among Compartments
Regulated by osmotic and hydrostatic pressures
Water moves freely by osmosis; osmolalities of all
body fluids are almost always equal
Two-way osmotic flow is substantial
Ion fluxes require active transport or channels
Change in solute concentration of any compartment
leads to net water flow
Obviously changes in blood volume (as in pregnancy)
will change hydrostatic pressure gradients
Disorders of Water Balance: Edema
Atypical accumulation of IF (interstitial fluid)
tissue swelling
Due to anything that increases flow of fluid out of
the blood or hinders its return
Blood pressure
Capillary permeability (usually due to
inflammatory chemicals)
Incompetent venous valves, localized blood vessel
blockage
Congestive heart failure, hypertension, blood
volume
Possible Causes of Edema
Hindered fluid return occurs with an imbalance in
colloid osmotic pressures, e.g., hypoproteinemia (
plasma proteins)
Fluids fail to return at the venous ends of capillary beds
Results from protein malnutrition, liver disease, or
glomerulonephritis
Blocked (or surgically removed) lymph vessels
Cause leaked proteins to accumulate in IF
Colloid osmotic pressure of IF draws fluid from the blood
Results in low blood pressure and severely impaired
circulation
Dehydration
Body Water Content
Infants: 73% or more water (low body fat, low bone
mass)
Adult males: ~60% water
Adult females: ~50% water (higher fat content, less
skeletal muscle mass)

Regulation of Water Intake
Thirst mechanism is the driving force for water intake
The hypothalamic thirst center osmoreceptors are
stimulated by
Plasma osmolality of 2–3%
Angiotensin II or baroreceptor input
Dry mouth
Substantial decrease in blood volume or pressure
Drinking water creates inhibition of the thirst center
Inhibitory feedback signals include

Regulation of Water Output
Obligatory water losses
Insensible water loss: from lungs and skin
Feces
Minimum daily sensible water loss of 500 ml in urine to
excrete wastes
Body water and Na+ content are regulated in tandem
by mechanisms that maintain cardiovascular
function and blood pressure
Regulation of Water Output: Influence of ADH
Water reabsorption in collecting ducts is
proportional to ADH release
ADH dilute urine and volume of body fluids
ADH concentrated urine
ADH controls the presence of aquaporins in the
collecting ducts.
Aquaporins are “water channels”
Diabetes insipidus
Result of inadequate ADH and excessive water lost through
urine
Monitoring water intake will reduce effects
Regulation of Water Output: Influence of ADH
Hypothalamic osmoreceptors trigger or inhibit ADH
release
Other factors may trigger ADH release via large
changes in blood volume or pressure, e.g., fever,
sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea; blood loss; and
traumatic burns

Acid-Base Balance
pH affects all functional proteins and biochemical
reactions
Normal pH of body fluids
Arterial blood: pH 7.4
Venous blood and IF fluid: pH 7.35
ICF: pH 7.0
Alkalosis or alkalemia: arterial blood pH >7.45
Acidosis or acidemia: arterial pH < 7.35
Arterial pH between 7.35 and 7.0 is considered physiological
acidosis because it technically (chemically) is not acidic at this
pH
Alkalosis vs Acidosis/ Metabolic vs. Respiratory
After travelling from Los Angeles to Denver, and
then enjoying some hiking, Claire finds she is not
feeling well and checks into a clinic for help. The
clinic’s diagnosis is respiratory alkalosis. What has
caused this problem?
What do we know from this question?
Claire went from sea level to high altitude, so
atmosphere has less oxygen than she is used to
Claire went hiking right away, so she probably
exerted herself and was breathing rather
heavy…even hyperventilating trying to catch her
breath at those beautiful mountain peaks.
How do we get acidosis?
Most H+ is produced by metabolism
Phosphoric acid from breakdown of phosphorus-containing
proteins in ECF
Lactic acid from anaerobic respiration of glucose
Fatty acids and ketone bodies from fat metabolism
H+ liberated when CO2 is converted to HCO3– in blood
Regulating Acid-Base Balance
Concentration of hydrogen ions is regulated
sequentially by
Chemical buffer systems: rapid; first line of defense
Brain stem respiratory centers: act within 1–3 min
Renal mechanisms: most potent, but require hours to days to
effect pH changes
Physiological Buffer Systems
Respiratory and renal systems
Act more slowly than chemical buffer systems
Have more capacity than chemical buffer systems
Chemical buffers cannot eliminate excess acids or
bases from the body
Lungs eliminate volatile carbonic acid by eliminating CO2
Kidneys eliminate other fixed metabolic acids (phosphoric,
uric, and lactic acids and ketones) and prevent metabolic
acidosis
Respiratory Regulation of H+
Respiratory system eliminates CO2
A reversible equilibrium exists in the blood:
CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3–
During CO2 unloading the reaction shifts to the left
(and H+ is incorporated into H2O)
Resulting in respiratory alkalosis
During CO2 loading the reaction shifts to the right
(and H+ is buffered by proteins)
Resulting in respiratory acidosis
Renal Mechanisms of Acid-Base Balance
Most important renal mechanisms
Conserving (reabsorbing) or generating new HCO3–
Excreting HCO3–
Slow process, takes day or more to readjust pH
Generating or reabsorbing one HCO3– is the same as losing one
H+
Excreting one HCO3– is the same as gaining one H+
Renal regulation of acid-base balance depends on H+secretion
H+ secretion occurs in the PCT and in collecting duct type A
intercalated cells:
The H+ comes from H2CO3 produced in reactions catalyzed
by carbonic anhydrase inside the cells

Electrolyte Concentration
Expressed in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L), a
measure of the number of electrical charges per liter
of solution
You do not need to know the formula, but just know
this is the unit by which electrolyte balance is
assessed.
mEq/L = ion concentration (mg/L)
# of electrical
charges
atomic weight of ion (mg/mmol)

Extracellular and Intracellular Fluids
Each fluid compartment has a distinctive pattern of
electrolytes
ECF
All similar, except higher protein content of plasma
Major cation: Na+
Major anion: Cl–
ICF:
Low Na+ and Cl–
Major cation: K+
Major anion HPO42–
Proteins, phospholipids,
cholesterol, and neutral fats make
up the bulk of dissolved solutes
90% in plasma
60% in IF
97% in ICF
Composition of Body Fluids
Water: the universal solvent
Solutes: nonelectrolytes and electrolytes
Nonelectrolytes: most are organic
Do not dissociate in water: e.g., glucose, lipids, creatinine, and
urea
Have covalent bonds
Electrolytes
Dissociate into ions in water; e.g., inorganic salts, all acids and
bases, and some proteins
The most abundant (most numerous) solutes
Have greater osmotic power than nonelectrolytes, so may
contribute to fluid shifts

Electrolyte Balance
Electrolytes are salts, acids, and bases
Electrolyte balance usually refers only to salt balance
Salts enter the body by ingestion and are lost via
perspiration, feces, and urine
Importance of salts
Controlling fluid movements
Excitability
Secretory activity
Membrane permeability
Central Role of Sodium
Most abundant cation in the ECF
Sodium salts in the ECF contribute 280 mOsm of the
total 300 mOsm ECF solute concentration
Na+ leaks into cells and is pumped out against its
electrochemical gradient
Na+ content may change but ECF Na+ concentration
remains stable due to osmosis
Central Role of Sodium
Changes in plasma sodium levels affect
Plasma volume, blood pressure
ICF (intracellular fluid) and IF (interstitial fluid)volumes
Renal acid-base control mechanisms are coupled to
sodium ion transport
Regulation of Sodium Balance
No receptors are known that monitor Na+ levels in
body fluids
Na+-water balance is linked to blood pressure and
blood volume control mechanisms
Regulation of Sodium Balance: Aldosterone
Renin-angiotensin mechanism is the main trigger for
aldosterone release
Granular cells of JGA secrete renin in response to
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation
Filtrate osmolality
Stretch (due to blood pressure)
Regulation of Sodium Balance: Aldosterone
Na+ reabsorption
65% is reabsorbed in the proximal tubules
25% is reclaimed in the loops of Henle
Aldosterone active reabsorption of remaining Na+
Water follows Na+ if ADH is present
Regulation of Sodium Balance: Aldosterone
Renin catalyzes the production of angiotensin II,
which prompts aldosterone release from the adrenal
cortex
Aldosterone release is also triggered by elevated K+
levels in the ECF
Aldosterone brings about its effects slowly (hours to
days)

H2O retention during menstrual cycles and pregnancy
Progesterone: Na+ reabsorption (blocks
aldosterone)
Promotes Na+ and H2O loss
Glucocorticoids: Na+ reabsorption and promote
edema
Bicarbonate Buffer System
Mixture of H2CO3 (weak acid) and salts of HCO3–
(e.g., NaHCO3, a weak base)
Buffers ICF and ECF
The only important ECF buffer
Phosphate Buffer System
Action is nearly identical to the bicarbonate buffer
Components are sodium salts of:
Dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4–), a weak acid
Monohydrogen phosphate (HPO42–), a weak base
Effective buffer in urine and ICF, where phosphate
concentrations are high
Protein Buffer System
Intracellular proteins are the most plentiful and
powerful buffers; plasma proteins are also important
Protein molecules are amphoteric (can function as
both a weak acid and a weak base)
When pH rises, organic acid or carboxyl (COOH) groups
release H+
When pH falls, NH2 groups bind H+

Role of Carbon Dioxide in Breathing Rate
Of all the chemicals influencing respiration, CO2 is
the most potent and most closely controlled
↑CO2 …hydrated to ↑carbonic acid…↓blood pH
therefore ↑breathing rate and depth to flush out CO2
Remember CO2 is kept in the 40-45 mm Hg range
Hyperventilation designed to remove CO2
↓CO2…respiration is slowed
