Q

Causes of Diuretic Resistance or Edema Refractory (4)

A

๔ฐ 1. NSAID co-administration (block prostaglandin-induced increase in RBF / [INC expression of Na+/K+/2Cl- in TAL], compete for organic acid transporter in PCT).

๔ฐ 2. (CHF) or renal failure DEC RBFโ€”> decreases delivery of diuretics to tubule / build-up of organic acids competes for secretory transport into tubule.

๔ฐ 3. Nephrotic syndrome (protein in tubule binds to diuretic drugs and limits their actions).

๔ฐ 4. [Hepatic cirrhosis / CHF / renal failure] (decreased GFR results in increased PCT absorption of Na+
