Site of action of loop diuretics
Site of Ca and Mg reabsorption
TAL of Loop of Henle
Half life of Furosemide
6 hours

Loop diuretic toxicities
OH DANG! Ototoxicity Hypokalemia Dehydration Allergy to Sulfa Nephritis Gout
Site of action of thiazide diuretics
Actively pumps Na and Cl via Na/Cl carrier
Site of Ca reabsorption secondary to PTH
DCT
Calcium is also reabsorbed in the DCT due to ___.
PTH
Inhibits Na/Cl transporter in the DCT
Causes modrate diuresis and reduce Ca excretion
Drug for HPN, Nephrogenic DI
