RENAL / URINARY SYSTEM
YEAR 2 | PAGE 23A - GFR, NEPHRON TRANSPORT, OSMOLALITY + ACID-BASE
THINK LIKE A KIDNEY: FILTER -> REABSORB/SECRETE -> CONCENTRATE -> REGULATE Build one connected model: RENAL BLOOD FLOW/GFR -> NEPHRON SEGMENT TRANSPORT -> MEDULLARY GRADIENT/ADH -> VOLUME/ELECTROLYTES -> ACID-BASE. For each perturbation, predict urine and serum changes before naming the disease or drug.

- Predict GFR, RBF and filtration fraction after afferent/efferent constriction or dilation, including NSAID/ACE-I/ARB effects.
- Map major nephron transporters, water permeability and diuretic targets by segment; predict serum/urine electrolyte consequences.
- Explain free-water handling, ADH/aldosterone/RAAS and the corticomedullary gradient without relying on memorized disease labels.
- Solve primary acid-base disorder -> expected compensation -> mixed disorder -> renal response using mechanism, not pattern alone. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
