RENAL PHYSIOLOGY IN THE HEALTHY OLDEST OLD HAS THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS, IN COMPARISON WITH THE RENAL PHYSIOLOGY IN THE YOUNG: a reduced creatinine clearance, tubular pattern of creatinine back-filtration, preserved proximal tubule sodium reabsorption and uric acid secretion, reduced sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending loop of Henle, reduced free water clearance, increased urea excretion, presence of medulla hypotonicity, reduced urinary dilution and concentration capabilities, and finally a reduced collecting tubules response to furosemide which expresses a reduced potassium excretion in this segment due to a sort of aldosterone resistance. All physiological changes of the aged kidney are the same in both genders.
与年轻人的肾脏生理学相比,健康的高龄老人的肾脏生理学具有以下特征:肌酐清除率降低、肌酐反向滤过呈肾小管模式、近端小管钠重吸收和尿酸分泌保持正常、髓袢升支粗段钠重吸收减少、自由水清除率降低、尿素排泄增加、髓质低渗、尿液稀释和浓缩能力降低,最后集合小管对呋塞米的反应降低,这表明由于某种醛固酮抵抗,该段钾排泄减少。老年肾脏的所有生理变化在两性中都是相同的。
