Q

Mechanism of Action of Thiazide

A

1) thiazide actively secreted in PCT ana Probenecid antagonizes its Diuretic effect
2) thiazide act in early part of DCT by inhibiting Na/Cl symporter and reabsorption (only 10% of Na)
3) excess Na reaches late part of DCT which exchanged with K and H
4) the remaining is secreted in urine with water

Q

What the thiazide make in VD

A
  1. it is a K channel opener that leads to hyperpolarization
  2. it secretes prostaglandins. NSAIDs decrrease its effect
  3. it decreases Na load and edema in BV so decreases the effect of adrenaline and angiotensin

Q

mechanism of action of Fursemide

A
  1. fursemide is actively secreted in PCT. Probenecid antgonizes its diuretic effect
  2. Fursemide has sulfa radical that inhibit carbonic anhydrase enzyme
  3. Frusemide act in the thick part of ascending loop of Henle by inhibition of symporter Na/k/Cl that disturb countercurrent multiplier system leads to excess water excretion.
  4. excess Na is go to DCT and some of them exchanged with K and H
  5. the remaining is excreted with water
