Hello everyone,

 

This is what my lecture note is saying about osmotic diuresis.

 

Water retention in tubules-----> decreased sodium concentration in tubules----> increased concentration gradient of sodium--->sodium pushing limit reached----->decreased sodium absorption---->increased sodium in tubule----> more water retention in tubule

 

Ok I understand the first 2 points but then how does the concentration gradient of sodium suddenly increase and what is meant by sodium pushing limit reached. Sodium carriers saturated? Please explain to me if you understand this. Thank you

scilearner, forgive me if I am wrong, but this sounds like a homework. Therefore I will be diplomatic and point you towards two presentations:

 

This one as a simple animation to recap on simple points:

Kidney Animation

 

and then this PowerPoint for further notes and explanation.

More detail

 

 

If you need further help then come back to raise specific issues.

I understand your point but this isn't homework. I'll check your links anyway. Thanks for them
