![Plasma creatinine vs. GFR
not linear, hyperbolic correlation!

individual patient is usually
more important than the

Kidney – basicdata Urine excreted daily in adults: cca 1.5L Kidney only ca 1% of total body weight, despite it The renal blood flow= 20% of cardiac output Plasma renal flow= PRF ca 600 mL/Min./1.73 M2 Reflects two processes Ultrafiltration (GFR): 180 L/day Reabsorption: >99% of the amount filtered

- 11. Renal Function Tests- Urinevolumes Adults: 1.5 L/24 h typical in health, oliguria < 400 mL, anuria < 100 mL, polyuria > 3000 mL Children: ca 1.5 ml/Kg of b.w./1 hour!
- 12. Principle of ofClearance Some substances when filtered enter the tubules are not reabsorbed and so 100% excreted= GFR (inulin= gold standard for GFR, creatinine (but this one partially reabsorbed, particularly in uremia, then clearance <GFR Some substances are filtered, enter tubules, and more of the substance is secreted enters the tubules by excretion. Clearance>GFR Some substances are filtered, enter tubules, but are completely reabsorbed, so they did not reach the final urine (e.g. cystatin C)
- 13. Glomerular filtration rate Glomerular filtration= major physiologic responsibility of kidney, GFR used as index of overall excretory function Methods: clearence of inulin, creatinine, EDTA and DTPA (=both derivates of acetic acid), cystatin C GFR= Ux x V (V=volum of urine/ 1 minute or 1 second) P x x= clearence of substance used
- 14. Glomerular filtration rate Also service of nuclear medicine dptm. Follow up the inulin clearence, EDTA or DTPA clearence labelling the substances with chromium or Tcm99 Where will you catch the activity with detectors? Never in the kidney or bladder area!!
- 15. Glomerular filtration rate GFR in children, value always adapted to the BSA!! Ideal BSA in adults is 1.73m2 Schwartz equation : GFR= v x 0.808 P cr (umol/L) How to assess easy if plasma creatinine is OK? Pcr max= Vcm x 0.61 (v= body height in cm
- 16. Creatinine and UreaPlasma Concentration- hyperbolic correlation GFR 50% pCr, pUrea 140 mL/min (100%) 0 mL/min (0%) Tendency in individual patients is more important than the one value, ever test if the hydration is OK. In patients with CRI always note also the BSA! Lower limit today not 80 ml/Min. /1.73 m2 but 90 ml/Min./1.73 m2 Normal range->
- 17. Plasma urea (BUN) = BUN (blood urea nitrogen) Urea: product of protein catabolism Synthesized by liver, majority excreted by kidney, partially reabsorbed in tubuli Plasma concentration increases with decreased GFR

- 20. Urea in patients withkidney diseases Useful test but must be interpreted with great care, urea plasma level is more than creatinine dependent on protein intake Most useful when considered along with creatinine High in high protein intake, low in severe liver dysfunction Urea EF may be useful in pts. on diuretics
- 21. Plasma creatinine andrenal functions Creatine: main storage compound of high energy phosphate needed for muscle metabolism. Creatinine: anhydride of creatine! Creatine Creatinine (Waste product) H2O

- 25. BUN: creatinine ratio Pre-renal disorders BUN:Cr ratio >20 Renal disorders BUN: Cr nl but both elevated Post-renal Filter Processor Input Arterial Output Venous Output Urine
- 26. Osmolality of urine Measures urine concentrating ability Depends on # of particles, not size or charge Largely due to ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) Can reach maximum of 1200 mOsm/L Normal range: 300-900mOsm/L, plasma 285+10 prior to collection, fluid intake restricted, first void submitted for evaluation Measuring using the fact of freezing point depression
- 27. Standardized renal concentration capacitytest 1. Voiding completely at 9 p.m. (WC) 2. Desmopressin administration (since 2006 as nasal spray). DDAVP is a Czech invention !! 3. Collection of urine (9 p.m. – 7 a.m.) 4. Testing of urine osmolality in this sample (not the morning urine only!) 5. The lower limit of normal value= 950 mOsm/kg of urine 6. Short testing- Desmopressin, collection for 4 hours only= at least 900 mOsm/kg of urine
- 28. Urine dipsticks Stripimpregnated with reagents for the substances in question within a urine sample Substance level can be altered in the setting of pathology within the urinary tract Measured substances: Modern dipsticks with multiplied zones: Protein, hemoglobin, glucose, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocytes, specific gravity, and pH Should be a tool everywhere on the level of primary care!!!
