Sample Question
How does a NORMAL kidney contribute to hypertension which is primarily caused by renal artery stenosis on the contralateral side? Renin levels in the vein of the affected kidney vs renin levels in the vein of the unaffected kidney?

Increased renin levels in the vein of the unaffected kidney

Decreased renin levels in the vein of the unaffected kidney

Decreased aldosterone levels in the vein of the affected kidney

*Stenosis will result in hypoperfusion of kidney on the same side>Activarion of RAAS, so Renin will be increased in the vein of affected kidney, while it will be Decreased in the vein of unaffected kidney(Because the opposite kidney is perfused just fine and also JGA on that kidney will sense all that extra salt/water that was absorbed because the affected kidney "thought" body was hypovolemic, so basically in unaffected kidney Renin secretion will be decreased)...HOWEVER they asked you contribution of UNAFFECTED kidney to hypertension and best choice would be Aldosterone-induced sodium and water retention, because Aldosterone secretion from Zona glomerulosa which was induced by Ag2 will Make BOTH kidneys retain Na and water and excrete potassium....

Sample Question
Which event does not occur in the descending limb of the loop of Henle?

Deeper regions of the medulla, closer to the pelvis, reach very high salt concentrations

Water easily diffuses by osmosis out of the tubular filtrate and into the medulla

NaCl is removed from the filtrate both by active transport and by passive diffusion

At the tip of the loop, the tubular filtrate concentration is increased and its volume is decreased

Sample Question
Which of the following statements about renal potassium excretion is FALSE?

The secretion of K+ across the apical membrane of the collecting duct is passive.
