Q

T/F Thiazide diuretics are a good choice for pt’s with renal disease

A

False!
In pt’s with severe renal disease the kidney is working really hard to get to the Distal tubule to begin with so Thiazide diuretics are a bad choice because they will be ineffective.

Q

What is the Mechanism of action for loop diuretics?

A

Inhibits active transport of sodium, chloride, and potassium in the thick ascending limb of the LOOP OF HENLE causing excretion of these ions. This means the collecting duct excretes more water!!!

Q

What is significant about the location of where the loop diuretics work?

Q

What is the MOA of Aldosterone receptor blockers?

A

blocks the aldosterone receptors which normally would tell mRNA to produce Na and K channels preventing Na reabsorption and K excretion. A buildup of Na in the tubule causes water to flow into the tubule from the blood.

Q

What is the common trend of diuretics so far?

A

They all cause sodium to hang around for longer in the Tubular lumen.
H20 follows Na and is excreted.

Q

Difference between Loop Diuretics and Thiazide Diuretics?

A

Thiazide diuretics work to hold on to ~5% Na, and Loops hold on to ~25% Na. Loops are found earlier in the schematic and therefore excrete more since they are stronger at diuresing.

Q

What is the PRIMARY function of ACE?

A
