Q

MOA of loop diuretic (furosemide, ethancrynic acid, torsemide)

A

inhibitis NaK2Cl cotransporter in thick ascending limb

  • abolishes hypertonicity of medulla, preventing concentration of urine
  • stimulates PGE release (vasodilatory effect on affferent arteriole)
  • increases Ca excretion (loops lose Ca)

Q

mechanism via which loops/thiazides causes blood alkalemia

A
  1. volume contraction - increases ATII = increases Na/H exchange in PT = increase HCO3- reabsorption
  2. K loss leads to K exiting all cells in exchange for H entering cells
  3. low K state, H is exchanged for Na in cortical collecting tubule = alkalosis and paradoxical aciduria

Q

MOA of oral contraceptions

A

E and Progestin inhibit LH/FSH and thus prevent estrogen surge. No E surge = no LH surge = no ovulation.
1. Progestins causes thickening of cervial mucus limiting acess of sperm to uterus. Also inhibits endometrial proliferation, making endometrium less suitable for the implantation of embryo.
