45
Q

ACE inhibitor MOA*

A

block RAAS system @ angiotensin II

46
Q

thiazide diuretics MOA*

A

⊣ reabs Na + Cl in distal tubule → ↑ urinary excretion Na + H2O

Direct arteriolar vasodilation.

47
Q

loop diuretics MOA*

A

K EXCRETED

⊣ reabs Na + Cl in proximal + distal tubules + loop of Henle (Na-K-Cl co-transporter = K reabs)

interferes with Cl-binding cotransport system, → ↑ excretion Na, H2O, Ca, Mg, Cl

48
