Diuretics: Ch. 2.2- Loop Flashcards
Aldosterone causes ____ and ____ excretion.
- potassium
- H+
What is the major solute resorbed in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle?
NaCl
This drug blocks the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter on the luminal side of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
- reduces NaCl resorption –> water excreted .
- furosemide
- ethacrynic acid
Parathyroid hormone induces?
renal reabsorption of Ca++
Furosemide is what kind of drug? (class)
a sulfa drug
Which diuretics act upon the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle?
loop diuretics
____ induce the expression of COX-2, synthesizing prostaglandins that enhance salt excretion and dilate the afferent arteriole.
Loop diuretics
How does furosemide work?
- blocks the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter on the luminal side of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
- reduces NaCl resorption –> water excreted
Loop diuretics promote the excretion of what 2 ions?
- Mg++
- Ca++
What part of the nephron is the “diluting segment”?
the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
What are the most efficacious diuretics available?
loop diuretics
Where do loop diuretics act upon in the nephron?
the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
Name 2 loop diuretics.
- furosemide
- ethacrynic acid
Loop diuretics induce the expression of ______, synthesizing prostaglandins that enhance salt excretion and dilate the afferent arteriole.
