Q

PCT

a) Major things reabsorbed here
b) main membrane transporter invovled
c) enzyme involved here

A
  1. responsible for 60-70% of total reabsorption of NA
  2. carries out isosmotic reabsorption of AA, glucose & many cations
  3. major site for reabsorption of Sodium Chloride& Bicarb

b) NHE3: apical membrane Na/H exchange via NHE3
Na/K ATPase is present in the basolateral membrane to maintain intracellular Na & K

c) Carbonic Anhydrase: bicarbonate is reabsorbed poorly through luminal membrane so it is converted to CO2 & H2O by Carbonic Anhydrase

TAL

a) Major things reabsorbed here

Q

CD

a) Major things reabsorbed here
b) main membrane transporter invovled
c) enzyme involved here

A
  1. reabsorption of 2-5% of Na–last tubular site for Na reabsorption
  2. controlled by aldosterone, occurs via channels & is accompanied by equal loss of K or H ions
  3. primary site of acidification of union & K excretion
  4. Cl- reabsorbed via paracellular pathway because of negative lumen potential

b) ENaC: inward diffusion of Na via the epithelial sodium channel ENaC leaves lumen negative potential–> drives reabsorption of Cl- & efflux of K+

Q

Furosemide MOA & Effects & uses & ADR

A

Loop Diuretic, acts in TAL

  1. Inhibits NKCC2 (Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter)–>produce massive NaCl diuresis–>Edema fluid is rapidly excreted & blood volume is significantly reduced.

The Loop of Henle is the diluting segment, so blocking its function–>reduced ability to dilute urine

  1. also results in loss of lumen positive potential–>decreased reabsorption of ions like Ca & Mg–>Ca excretion is significantly increased
  2. More Na is presented to the CD–>it’s reabsorbed in exchange for K+ & H+–>hykalemic alkalosis

Uses:

  1. Tx of edematous states including HF & ascites
  2. *tx of acute pulmonary edema (LVF)
  3. mild to moderate CHF
  4. severe hypercalcemia
  5. seen commonly in malignancy (so we give large doses of furosemide with fluids & electrolytes)

ADR:

  1. *Hypokalemia–usually given with K sparing drugs
    - ——->Hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
  2. Hypomagnesemia
  3. Hypocalcemia
  4. Hypovolemia
  5. *Ototoxicity–> don’t combine with other ototoxic drugs i.e. aminoglycosides
  6. cross hypersensitivity with sulfa drugs–> i.e. if allergic to sulfa drugs don’t use bc may also be allergic

Q

Effects of Thiazides

A
  1. sustained Na & Cl Diuresis

reduction in transport of Na into tubular cell reduces intracellular Na –>promotes Na/Ca exchange
——->results in increased reabsorption of Ca from urine –>urine Ca content is decreased

  1. Reduces BP

initially decrease CO bc decrease blood volume, but later decrease TPR bc decrease Na concentration & Na is responsible for maintaining vessel stiffness.

Q

Spironolactone MOA, Effects, Uses, ADR

A

Antagonist of Aldosterone in Collecting Duct

MOA: by binding & blocking the aldosterone receptor–>reduce expression of genes controlling synthesis of epithelial Na ion channels & Na/K ATPase–>this increases sodium excretion bc less Na is being reabsorbed

Effects:

  1. increases Na excretion
  2. Decreases K+ & H+ ion excretion (bc whenever Na is reabsorbed K is exchanged & excreted
  3. may cause hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis

Uses:

  1. Hypokalemia causes by loop diuretics & thiazides
  2. Aldosteronism (occurs in cirrhosis; also seen in Conn’s syndrome & with late HF

ADR:

  1. Hyperkalemia–>can cause cardiac arrest
  2. Extreme caution needed when given with ACE-inhibitors bc both inhibit aldosterone
  3. gynecomastia (painful, enlargement of breast in males) hirsutism (excess body hair growth), loss of libido & impotence
    - –>all from anti-androgenic effects
