A

True

72
Q

Thiazide diuretics may be used to control the polyuria resulting from nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by an indirect effect on:

A

Glomerular filtration

Thiazide diuretics may be used to control the polyuria resulting from nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by further decreasing the ECF volume which induces a decrease in GFR. Any reduction in GFR, when dehydrated, will decrease urine excretion.

73
Q

How does hydrochlorothiazide work?

A

Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits solute reabsorption in the diluting segment of the nephron which raises the osmolality of the tubular fluid and urine. This effect decreases the positive free water clearance in response to ECF volume expansion which puts the patient at risk for hyponatremia.
