A

low protein, high fat

33
Q

what is interaction of low protein and basic drugs?

A

decreased rate of excretion of basic drugs, increase in urine pH

34
Q

A

cause sodium depletion, and lithium reabsorption, possible toxicity probs with peppers/oregano/rhubarb which are diuretic

35
Q

what is interaction of MAOIs and tyramine?

A

buildup of norepinephrine in neurons, ^ BP, headache, nausea, palpitations, potential for MI/stroke

36
Q

foods containing tyramine?

A

fermented, spoiled, protein-rich

37
Q

40
Q

41
Q

large amts of Ca and vit D with calcium channel blockers causes:

A

blunted antihypertensive effects of CCBs (IV infusion only)

42
Q

folate and nitroglycerin interaction?

A

more folic acid (tetrahydrobiopterin) prevent tolerance and increase therapeutic effect of nitrates

43

take some stuff from urine and put back into blood

61
Q

what is secretion

A

from blood back into urine by very specific transporter

62
Q

how does potassium depleting diuretic work?

64
Q

mechanism of loop diuretics:

A

they promote Na excretion by decreasing Na reabsorption in Loop of Henle–>more Na presented to distal tubule so more is reabsorbed there in exchange for equivalent amt K secreted (increasing K excretion in aldosterone regulated step)

Q

mechanism of thiazides:

A

promote Na excretion by decreasing Na reabsorption in proximal tubule–>more Na presented to distal tubule than usual so more is reabsorbed there in exchange for = amt K secreted

spironolactone

67
Q

how does potassium sparing diuretic work

decrease Na reabsorption in distal tubule–>this means K secretion also decreases
