Clearance concept Clearance is an assessment of renal function
Clearance concept • Clearance is an assessment of renal function

Clearance of a substance: Kidney cvs Exterior Def:the volume of plasma from which the subs is removed (cleared)by the kidney per unit time
Clearance of a substance: Kidney CVS Exterior Def: the volume of plasma from which the subs is removed (cleared) by the kidney per unit time

Amount of a substance (x)excreted =VXUx Ux Urine concentration of x V Urine flow
Amount of a substance (x) excreted = V X Ux Ux = Urine concentration of x V = Urine flow

Excreted Filtered Secreted Reabsorbed Secreted Excreted (Filtered Reabsorbed
Excreted = Filtered + Secreted - Reabsorbed

Amount of subs x transferred from CVS to the outside via the kidney Plasma concentration of x(Px)X Plasma volume that contains subs x Cx Plasma volume that contains x
Amount of subs x transferred from CVS to the outside via the kidney Plasma concentration of x (Px) X Plasma volume that contains subs x Cx = Plasma volume that contains x

Excreted Transferred from CVS to outside via the kidney Cx X Px=Ux X V Cx Clearance of X Px Plasma concentration of X Ux Urine concentration of X V Urine flow Ux X V=Mass of X excreted per unit time

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) Concentration of inulin in plasma =4 mg/L Glomerular capillary Volume of fluid Bowman's filtered(GFR) =7.5LU/h space
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

Measurement of GFR Use of a substance,which is 1.freely filtered, 2.non-toxic, 3.not reabsorbed by nor secreted from renal tubules Inulin (MW=5500) UIn X V CIn=-=120 ml/min Pin
