Q

What 2 compounds/ions get reabosorbed in the late distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting duct (CD), and what 2 substances are required for the reabsorption to occur?

A

-Na+ (5%)

-H2O

*Aldosterone is required here for Na+ reabsorption and ADH is required for H2O reabsorption to occur. This is the differrence between the early & late DCT and why K+ sparing diuretics work here in the late DCT.

*K+ also gets excreted largely in the CD

Q

What is MOA of mannitol (osmotic diuretic). AKA why does is cause massive aquaresis.

A

Mannitol is a large molecule that is able to get filtered throught the glomerulus into the tubules. Because its so large though, in the tubules it can’t be reabsorbed into the blood and it creates a strong osmotic pressure, pulling H2O into the tubules. Since the H2O gets pulled into the tubules it gets excreted via ureters.

22
Q

What is the MOA of CAIs?

A

Blocks the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which dissasociates HCO3 (into H2O & CO2) via the buffer equation in order for it to be reabsorbed. When it gets absorbed into the cell (the wall of the PCT, on the way to the bloodstream) it dissasociates back into HCO3 + H+ and the H+ drives the Na+ pump that reabsorbs Na+.

With the enzyme and this pump inhibited, the reabsorption of HCO3, Na+, and H2O is blocked.

Q

In the acending limb of the loop of henle (AKA think ascending limb), Ca++ & Mg++ are driven out of the tubules to the blood via the ___________ pathway

A

In the late DCT, or collecting duct, the reabsorption of Na+ via ENaC channels (epithelial Na channel) & the secretion of K+ is regulated by ___________

A

Aldosterone

Characteristic adverse effect of loop diuretics?

*hint - not involved w/ renal system

A

Ototoxicity

46
Q

DO NOT give thiazide diuretics to pts with a _______ allergy

Q

What are the two classes of diuretics that are K+ sparing?

A

-Aldosterone antagonist (spironolactone)

-ENaC Blockers (amiloride, triamterene)

50
Q

Why do loop & thiazide diuretics cause low serum K+?

*2 reasons

A

-They cause increase tubule Na+ delivery to distal tubule sites which causes K+ waisting

-these diuretics can cause low intravscular volume, leading to high levels of aldosterone, which increases K+ secretion

54
Q
