structures in the wall of the equine renal pelvis secrete a mucus‐like substance.Mucus has a lubricant function, and helps in preventing the formation of urinary stones from small calcium carbonate crystals.

      B Renal blood flow and GFR

      Renal blood flow (RBF)

       Is approximately 20% of the cardiac output at rest, and is delivered to the kidneys via the renal arteries.

       An uneven distribution exists within the kidney, as the renal cortex receives 90–95% of the blood.

       These activities account for about 10% of the body's oxygen utilization.Up to 80% of renal oxygen consumption is used for the process of sodium reabsorption.

       This high oxygen demand makes the kidney tubules susceptible to hypoxic damage, such as may occur with a decrease in perfusion during anesthesia.

      Renal plasma flow (RPF)

       Is the volume of plasma that flows through the kidney per unit time.

       Blood cells and most proteins are too large to be filtered through Bowman's capsule.

       The RPF is estimated by multiplying the RBF × (1 − hematocrit [HCT])

      Filtration fraction (FF)

       The FF is the fraction of RPF filtered across the glomerulus.Approximately 20% of the RPF enters the capsule.The remaining 80% continues through the renal circulation.

       The GFR is the volume of filtrate formed by both kidneys per minute.

       The GFR is equal to the RPF × FF.

       The GFR is determined by:Renal blood flow.Neural and hormonal influences.Intrarenal autoregulation.Plasma oncotic pressure.

       Autoregulation

       This is the intrinsic ability of an organ to maintain normal blood flow despite changes in perfusion pressure.

       Autoregulation is intrinsic to the kidneys.Pressures in the range 80–180 mmHg maintain RBF and GFR at steady states.

       As pressure increases, flow remains constant if resistance increases proportionately, and vice versa.

      Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF)

       The TGF is a local intrarenal negative feedback mechanism, and is important in regulating the GFR and urine excretion rate.

       Within the distal convoluted tubule, specialized cells called the macula densa sense decreased sodium chloride concentrations within the tubular lumen.

       This results in a cascade of events resulting in renin release (see Figure 5.2).

       The tone of the glomerular arterioles is adjusted to control GFR.

       Nitric oxide and adenosine are thought to have an important role in this mechanism.

      C Urine formation

       The formation of urine involves three renal processes:Glomerular filtration.Tubular reabsorption of filtrate.Tubular secretion.

       These processes affect the urine volume and its components.

       Urine formation is controlled by neurohormonal and physiologic factors regulating sodium and water reabsorption.

       These controlling factors include aldosterone, arginine vasopressin, renin, angiotensin II, atrial natriuretic peptide, prostaglandins, catecholamines, arterial blood pressure, and stress.

      Comments:

       The GFR greatly exceeds the urine volume, indicating that about 99% of the filtrate is reabsorbed.

       Urine production will decrease if there is reduced access to water or food.

      III Renin‐Angiotensin‐Aldosterone‐System (RAAS) (see Figure 5.2)

       The role of the RAAS is the long‐term management of blood volume and arteriolar tone.

       This is achieved by increasing reabsorption of sodium and water, and increasing vascular tone.

       In contrast, the baroreceptor reflex manages smaller and short‐term changes.Figure 5.2 Schematic of the renin angiotensin‐aldosterone‐system (RAAS).

       The RAAS has three main components:Renin.Angiotensin II.Aldosterone.

       A decrease in renal blood pressure results in these components acting to increase arterial pressure or decrease salt delivery to the distal convoluted tubule.

       These mechanisms allow for prolonged increases in systemic blood pressure.

       Renin

       Renin is synthesized by myofibroblast‐like cells located in the renal afferent arterioles.These cells are commonly referred to as juxtaglomerular cells.

       The primary physiologic triggers for renin release are:Decreases in extracellular fluid volume.Sodium depletion.Prostaglandins.Hypotension (MAP < 80 mmHg).Increases in sympathetic output.

       The factors inhibiting renin release are:Angiotensin II.Atrial natriuretic peptide.Vasopressin.

       Renin converts angiotensinogen (a protein synthesized by the liver) to angiotensin I.This is the rate‐limiting step of the RAAS.
