General Physiology of Urine Formation
❑Themainfunctionofkidneystomaintainahomeostasisbalanceof
electrolytesandwater.
❑Urineformationstartsfromglomerularfiltration(g.f.).
❑Normally180Loffluideverydayfiltered;butmorethan99%oftheg.f.is
reabsorbedinthetubules,onlyabout1.5Lurineisproducedin24hr.
❑Thediureticsmainlyinhibitthereabsorptionattubularside.

➢Each kidney contains approximately one million nephrons and is
capable of forming urine independently.
The nephrons are composed of glomerulus, proximal tubule, loop of
henle, distal tubule.

Heart
•Pumping action of heart control renal blood flow.
•Relative dimensions of glomerular vessels.
RAS
•Distal Tubular reabsorption of Na+ & Secretion of K+/H+
•AT-II-effect on intracellular beds & Na+/H2O reabsorption.
Prostaglandins &
Atrial natriuretic
factors (ANP)
•PG’s-direct renin release & inhibits the action of anti-diuretic
hormone (ADH)
•Atrial natriuretic peptide produced by atrium & inducing ‘Natriuresis’
in response to salt & water overload.
Regulation of Renal Function (GFR)
DIURETICS
❑ThesearedrugswhichcauseanetlossofNa+&waterinurine.
❑Theyarepopularlyusedinthemanagementofhypertensionastheirusedin
edema.
“Diuretics (“water pills”) are the drugs which increase the urine out put
(or) urine volume” .
Natriuresis-“Any drug when introduce into the body
increases the out put of sodium
ie., loss of sodium in urine”.

Uses:-
▪Increased intracranial or intraocular tension(acute
congestive
▪glaucoma,headinjury,storke,etc.)
▪To maintain g.f.r. and urine flow in impending acute
renal Failure
▪To counteract low osmolarity of plasma/e.c.f.due
to rapid Haemodialysis.
ADR’s:-
▪ It is contraindicated in acute tubular necrosis
▪ Anuria
▪ Pulmonary edema
▪ Acute LVF
▪ CHF
▪ Cerebral haemorrhage

•Located on vascular & other smooth muscles, platelets etc.
•Follow IP3/DAG-Ca+ release-ACTH release, vasoconstriction
etc.V1
•Located primarily on the CD cells in the kidney
•Regulate their water permeability-CAMP production
•Its more sensitive to ADH than V1-receptors.V2
ADH-receptors-‘G-protein coupled’-receptors
