PPT 15: Diuretics Flashcards
Exam 3
What are the Proximal Tubule Targets?
NaCl and NaHCO3
Which drugs target Proximal Tubule Targets?
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (block NaHCO3 reabsorption)
Caffeine (weakly blocks adenosine receptors in PCT (Na+))
_______ is an example of a Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Acetazolamide
Body fluids are kept at a constant osmolality of _____ via a _________ mechanism in the ____
300 mOsm/kg
countercurrent
proximal tubule
The _____ is responsible for the secretion of larger substances (drugs) into luminal fluid
S2 - straight segment
______ is an impermeable solute that increases osmolality
mannitol
The _______ loop of henle is responsible for water reaborption
descending
The ______ loop of henle is impermeable to water
ascending
What is the pump that transports NaCl and K in the ascending loop of henle?
NKCC2 - sodium, potassium, 2 chloride
- all pumped from urine to thick ascending limb
The excess ____ in the urine of the ascending loop of henle drives ____ out of the urine and into the blood
K+ (charge gradient)
Mg++ and Ca++
What is the MOA of loop diuretics? What is an example?
Selectively inhibit NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb (TAL)
- Reduction in NaCl absorption
- Diminish lumen positive potential - Increase secretion (loss) of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in urine
Lasix
What diruertics should be avoided in patients with sulfa alergies?
Loop diuretics (lasix) and thiazides (HCT)
What is reabsorbed in the distal convoluted tubule? By what?
Ca++, by PTH
What is the MOA of thiazides?
- Inhibit NaCl transport in DCT
- Some inhibition of CA activity
- HCT
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors ___ pH, while loop diuretics and thiazides ___ pH
Decrease, increase
______ is the final site for sodium reabsorption
collecting tubule
______ is the most important site for potassium secretion
collecting tubule
The collecting tubule contains what 2 cell types?
Principal and intercalated
What is the role of the principal cells in the collecting tubule?
Builds up (-) charge in lumen
- more Na+ in than K+ out
- drives Cl- out through paracellular route
_____ is the channel responsible for Na+ and water reuptake in the collecting tubule
ENaC - epithelial sodium channel
What is the role of the intercalated cells in the collecting tubule?
H+ removal into urine
Exchange bicarb for Cl- in blood
