• Sodium reabsorption is almost always by active transport– Na+ enters the tubule cells
from the lumen / filtrate– Na+ is actively transported
out of the tubules by a Na+-K+ ATPase pump
• From there it moves to peritubular capillaries
• Na+ reabsorption provides the energy and the means for reabsorbing most other solutes

• the amount of water reabsorbed is controlled by antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (抗利尿激素 )
1.4 The role of the kidneys
• secretion of ADH is controlled by the hypothalamus (下丘腦 )
73
Diuresis• Diuretics are a group of drugs given to
help the body eliminate excess fluid through the kidneys. e.g. to treat hypertension, glaucoma, etc
• Natural diuretic foods and drinks• Melon• Watercress• Coffee• Tea• Coke (caffeinated soda)
74
1.4 The role of the kidneys
hypothalamus• has receptors to
detect water content in blood
• controls secretion of ADH
75
1.4 The role of the kidneys
pituitary gland• secretes ADH
• ADH is transported by blood
76
• under the action of ADH
1.4 The role of the kidneys
permeability of the wall of the collecting duct to water increases
a greater proportion of water is reabsorbed from the filtrate
• urine in different volumes and concentrations can be formed
77
•Figure 20-4
Urine ConcentrationUrine ConcentrationOsmolarity changes as filtrate flows through the
nephron
78
Formation of Dilute Urine / Formation of Dilute Urine / hypotonic urinehypotonic urine
• Filtrate is hypotonic after passing through the loop of Henle
• Dilute urine is created by allowing this filtrate to continue into the renal pelvis
• This will happen as long as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is not being secreted
• Collecting ducts remain impermeable to water; no further water reabsorption occurs
• Diuresis – hypotonic urine (large volume of)

Formation of Concentrated / Formation of Concentrated / hypertonic Urine hypertonic Urine
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) inhibits diuresis
• In the presence of ADH, 99% of the water in filtrate is reabsorbed
• ADH is the signal to produce concentrated urine
• The kidneys’ ability to respond depends upon the high medullary osmotic gradient

Regulation of Kidney FunctionRegulation of Kidney Function
• The osmolarity of the urine is regulated by nervous and hormonal control of water and salt reabsorption in the kidneys
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases water reabsorption in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney

Diuretics Diuretics (reference)(reference)
• Chemicals that enhance the urinary output include:– Any substance not reabsorbed– Substances that exceed the ability of the renal
tubules to reabsorb it• Osmotic diuretics include:
– High glucose levels – carries water out with the glucose
– Alcohol – inhibits the release of ADH– Caffeine and most diuretic drugs – inhibit sodium ion
reabsorption– Lasix – inhibits Na+-K+-2Cl symporters

Physical Characteristics of Physical Characteristics of Urine (reference)Urine (reference)
• Color and transparency
– Clear, pale to deep yellow (due to urobilin) -from the breakdown of heme
– Concentrated urine has a deeper yellow color
– Drugs, vitamin supplements, and diet can change the color of urine
– Cloudy urine may indicate infection of the urinary tract
101
Concentrated urine has a deeper yellow color

Physical Characteristics of Physical Characteristics of UrineUrine
• Odor / smell– Fresh urine is slightly
aromatic– Standing urine develops an
ammonia odor– Some drugs and vegetables
(asparagus) alter the usual odor
103
Physical Characteristics of Physical Characteristics of UrineUrine
• pH – Slightly acidic (pH 6) with a
range of 4.5 to 8.0– Diet can alter pH
• Specific gravity– Ranges from 1.001 to 1.035 – Dependent on solute
concentration
104
Chemical Characteristics of Chemical Characteristics of UrineUrine
• Urine is 95% water and 5% solutes• Nitrogenous wastes include urea, uric acid, and
creatinine• Other normal solutes include:
– Sodium, potassium, phosphate, and sulfate ions– Calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate ions
• Abnormally high concentrations of any urinary constituents may indicate pathology
• Disease states alter urine composition dramatically

Why may a person die quickly if thekidneys fail to function?1When the kidneys fail to function, the body cannot keep the water content in blood stable for cells to function properly.
129
Why may a person die quickly if thekidneys fail to function?1Besides, metabolic waste builds up in blood which can cause death.
130
How does a kidney machine treatkidney failure?2A kidney machine removes metabolic waste from the patient’s blood by haemodialysis.
131
Why can’t people with kidneyfailure take in too much fluid and high-protein food?
3
Excess proteins in the body are converted to urea by the liver.
132
3
The failed kidney cannot remove excess fluid and urea from the body.
Why can’t people with kidneyfailure take in too much fluid and high-protein food?
133
