Q

early distal convuluted tuble

A

tubular SECRETION MAIN JOB!!- dilutes the urine!!
parathyroid hormone acts on the distal tuble to increase calcium reabsorption!!
THIazides also work on this- causing hyponatremia.

Q

ADH

A

peremable to H20 only in the presense of ADHD
present of ADH—> concentrated urine
ADH absence::: dilute urine

Q

nephrotic syndrome

A

proteinuria, hypoalmbuinemia, hyperlipidemia and EDEMA

glomerular damage causes tubular protein loss into the urine, urine loss of albumin ases hypoalbumin—which causes hyperlipideamia as liver makes more protein!! including lipoprotein
