CHAPTER 18 & 19 Flashcards
Drugs that increase the volume of urine excreted.
Diuretics
Commonly used for the management of abnormal fluid retention (edema)
Diuretics
What percent of the blood plasma is filtered from the glomerular capillaries and is moved into the Bownan Capsule?
16-20%
Examples of Low Molecular Weight Plasma Components
Glucose
Amino Acids
Sodium Bicarbonate
Organic Solutes ( Electrolytes - Na+, K+, Cl-)
Regulates the Ionic composition and Volume of Urine
Kidney
Located in the Cortez of the kidney and it is where the Glucose, Amino acids, and Bicarbonate are reabsorbed.
Proximal Convoluted tubule
True or False
3 thirds of Na+ is reabsorbed in the Proximal convoluted tubule.
False - Two thirds
Follows passively from Lumen to Blood to maintain Osmolar Equality.
Water
Chloride enters the lumen in exchange of what?
Anion (Oxalate)
Site of organic acid and Base secretory system
Proximal Tubule
Modulates the reabsorption of Bicarbonate
Carbonic anhydrase
Most diuretic drugs are delivered to the tubular fluid through this system
Organic Acid Secretory System
It is Saturable and is located in the Middle Third of Proximal tubule.
Organic Acid Secretory System
Organic Acid Secretory System secretes what?
Uric Acid
Antibiotics
Diuretics
True of False
The Osmolality Increases along the Ascending portion of the Loop of Henle.
False - Descending
Major site of Salt Reabsorption and is a Diluted region of Nephron.
Ascending loop of Henle
Approximately 25-30% of the ___ returns to help maintain High Osmolarity.
NaCl-
Transported by Na+/Ca2+ exchanger
Calcium Reabsorption
Calcium excretion is regulated by what in the Distal convoluted tubule
Parathyroid hormone
Responsible for the Na+, K+, and water transport
Principal cell
Affects the H+ secretions
Intercalated cell
Increases the synthesis of Na+ channels
Aldosterone
Promotes reabsorption of water from the collecting tubule and ducts
ADH receptor
Located in the upper and lower segments and is responsible for the secretions of Creatinine and Choline
Organic Base secretory system
First orally active diuretics capable of affecting severe edema often seen in Hepatic Cirrhosis.
Chlorothiazide
More potent and required dose lower than Chlorothiazide and it’s effect is comparable to the parent drug
Hydrochlorothiazide
What are the 3 Thiazide-like diuretics?
Metolazone
Indapamide
Chlorthalidone
True or False
Thiazide-like diuretics (MIC). contains Sulfonamide residue and are not truly Thiazides.
True
Acts mainly on the Ascending loop of Henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
Thiazide and Thiazide-like diuretics
Efficacy of these agents (Thiazide and Thiazide-like diuretics) may be diminished by concomitant use of ____ which inhibits production of Renal Prostaglandins.
NSAIDs (Indomethacin)
Causes Diuresis - which causes excretion of Very Hyperosmolar (concentrated) urine
Thiazide and Thiazide-like diuretics
