CHAP 15: DIURETICS Flashcards
what is diuretics
increase production of urine
or
increase the amount of water and salt expelled from the body as urine
what is natriuretic
increase in renal sodium excretion
what is aquaretic
increase excretion of solute free water
what do you call these agents result in increased urine output and increased urea excretion but not increased excretion of electrolytes.
aquaretics
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sodium chloride (NaCl),
glucose, amino acids, and other organic solutes are reabsorbed via specific transport systems in the early proximal tubule
sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride co-transporter
potassium ions are reabsorbed via?
paracellular pathway
what channel absorbs water passively
through a transcellular pathway ( aquaporin-1 [AQP1])
and
paracellular pathway (claudin-2)
As tubule fluid is processed along
the length of the proximal tubule, the luminal concentrations of most solutes decrease relative to the concentration of ____, an experimental marker that is filtered but neither secreted
nor absorbed by renal tubules.
inulin
approximately __% of filtered sodium ions, __% of the NaHCO3, __% of the potassium, __% of water and virtually all of the filtered glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed by the proximal tubule in normal
humans
66%
85%
65%
60%
drug that blocks sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) reabsorption in the proximal tubule
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) reabsorption by the PCT is initiated by the action of
sodium hydrogen exchanger
Na+/H exchanger (NHE3)
where does sodium hydrogen exchanger located
in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule epithelial cell
function of sodium hydrogen exchanger
allows Na+ to enter the cell from the tubular lumen in exchange for H+ proton from inside the cell
sodium in, hydrogen out
why does the body need to pump Na+/K-ATPase in the basolateral membrane?
to maintain a low intracellular Na concentration
hydrogen is secreted into the lumen and combines with bicarbonate to form?
carbonic acid
on the lumen, the carbonic acid is rapidly dehydrated to ___ and ___ by ___
carbon dioxide and water by carbonic anhydrase
Carbon dioxide produced by dehydration of carbonic acid enters the proximal tubule cell by what diffusion?
simple diffusion
carbon dioxide is rehydrated back to carbonic acid by what enzyme?
intracellular carbonic anhydrase
after dissociation of carbonic acid in the PCT, the hydrogen is available for transport by what exchanger?
and the HCO3 or bicarbonate is transported out of the cell by what transporter?
sodium hydrogen exchanger (NHE3)
basolateral membrane transporter
bicarbonate reabsorption by the proximal tubule is dependent on what enzyme activity?
carbonic anhydrase
