Kidney Function
Kidney has 2 (two) main functions are:
1. Filtering the remnants metabolism of blood and fluid
out in the form of urine.
2. Maintaining a balance of water and mineral ions in the blood to
osmotic pressure of body fluids in balance.
Besides kidney also has several other additional functions as
follows:
1. Produces hormones that play a role in erythropoetin
help making red blood cells.
2. Activate vitamin D to maintain blood calcium levels
and bone health.
In accordance with its function, the kidneys occurs in processes
as follows:
1. Excretion
Excretion is the process of filtering and disposal of substances sisasisa
metabolism that is not useful to the body and are toxic.
Therefore, renal excretion is a tool. Substances Eksresi
the remnants of metabolism by the kidneys through the process of formation of water bladder mepiuti: filtration, absorption of return (reabsorsi), and
secretion.
2. Filtration
It is important to understand that the kidney function is
filter so that the blood fluid substances that are not required by
body can be disposed such as metabolic waste. Blood
filtered through the walls of the porous thin epithelium of the glomerulus
and Bowman’s capsule because of pressure from the blood
encourage blood plasma. Barlangsung filtration in the glomerulus,
where the primary urine or blood plasma ultra-filtrate is formed. In
Basically, the kidneys function to filter or clean the blood.
Renal blood flow to approximately 1.2 liters / min or 1700 liters / day.
Blood is filtered into a liquid filtrate of 120 ml / min
or 170 liters / day to the tubules. Liquid filtrate then processed in
in tubular until finally out of the two kidneys into the urine
as much as 1-2 liters / day.
Among the blood in the glomerulus and
fluid-filled space in the Bowman’s capsule there are three layers:
1. capillary endothelium cell layer of the glomerulus
2. rich layer as a membrane protein
3. layer of epithelial cells lining Bowman’s capsule (podosit)
With the help of pressure, fluid blood dalan pushed out of
glomerulus, through the third layer and into the
space in the Bowman’s capsule in the form of the glomerular filtrate.
Filtrate of blood plasma contains no blood cells or molecules
large proteins. Protein in the form of small molecules can
found in this filtrate. Human blood through the kidneys as much as
350 times each day with a rate of 1.2 liters per minute, producing 125
cc glomerular filtrate per minute. Glomerular filtration rate of these
used for diagnostic tests of kidney function.
The resulting filtrate will enter the renal tubular dalan. Blood
which has been filtered through the kidneys will leave the efferent arteries.
Both kidneys produce about 125 ml of filtrate per minute. 125 ml
diabsorsi and released into 1 ml of Calyceal as urine.
Every 24 hours was established about 1500 ml of urine.
Blood flow in both kidneys in adult numbers approximately 1.2 to 1.3 liters per minute, which means that the blood circulating in the body through the kidneys every 4 – 5 minutes.
1. Nephron, especially the proximal tubules kontortus, mereapsorbsi zatzat
in filters, which are beneficial to the body’s metabolism so that
maintaining homeostasis of internal environment. Also
move the remaining results from the blood into the tubular lumen,
issued in the urine. Tubular koligens mengabsorsi water,
that helps concentration of urine. In this way, the organism
control of water balance, fluid and osmotic intersel.
2. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is higher than the pressure
hydrostatic in other capillaries. This pressure about 75 mmHg.
Formed glomerular filtration blood hydrostatic pressure
where the forces against the hydrostatic pressure is:
plasma colloid osmotic pressure (30 mm Hg).
Nephron function as a regulator of water and solutes (mainly
electrolyte) in the body by filtering the blood, then
mereabsorpsi fluids and molecules that the body is still needed.
Molecule and the other liquid is discarded. Reabsorption and
disposal conducted using the exchange mechanism against
current and kotranspor. The final result is then excreted
is called urine.
Kidneys maintain acidity (pH) of blood plasma in the range
7.4 through the exchange of hydronium and hydroxyl ions. As a result, urine
can be produced acid at pH 5 or alkaline at pH 8.
Controlled levels of sodium ions through a process of homeostasis
involving aldosterone to increase the absorption of ions
sodium in the tubules konvulasi.
An increase or decrease in blood osmotic pressure due to excess
or lack of water will be detected by the hypothalamus that
will give a signal to the pituitary gland with feedback negative.
Pituitary gland to secrete antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)
to suppress the secretion of water resulting in changes in the level
water absorption in the kidney tubules. As a result the concentration of liquid the network will return to 98%.
Kidneys regulate the chemical composition by filtration, active Absorption, Absorption passive, and secretion. Barlangsung in glomerular filtration, which ultra filtrate of blood plasma is formed. Pasa body nephron, especially
kontortus proximal tubules, mereapsorbsi substances in the filter, which
useful to the body’s metabolism. Thus maintaining
homeostatic internal environment. Also move the rest of the results
from the blood into the tubular lumen, was issued in the urine. Tubular
koligens mengabsorsi water, which helps concentration of urine.
In this way, organisms control water balance, fluid intersel and osmotic.
Both kidneys produce about 125 ml of filtrate per minute. 125 ml
diabsorsi and released into 1 ml of Calyceal as urine.
Every 24 hours was established about 1500 ml of urine.
Blood flow in both kidneys in adult numbers
approximately 1.2 to 1.3 l per minute, which means that the blood circulating
in the body through the kidneys every 4 – 5 minutes.
Glomeruli contain capillaries arterial pressure hidrostatiknya higher than hydrostatic pressure on kapilerkapiler other. This pressure around 75 mm Hg.
Glomerular filtration formed due to the hydrostatic pressure of blood in which the forces against the hydrostatic pressure is:
1. plasma colloid osmotic pressure (30 mm Hg)
2. fluid pressure contained in the nephron tubules (10 mm Hg)
3. parenkin interstitial pressure within the kidney (10 mm Hg), which
working on the boweman capsule forwarded to fluid
kapsuler.
Hydrostatic pressure was 75 mm Hg and the total number of forces
that fight was 50 mm Hg. Style filtration generated approximately 25 mm Hg.
