11
Q
Urine NaCl with Diuretics
A
- All increase urine NaCl
- Serum NaCl may decrease as a result
12
Q
Urine K+ with diuretics
A
- K+ sparing decrease urine K+
- All others increase urine K+
- serum K+ may decrease as a result
13
Q
Acidemia and diuretics
A
- Acetazolamide- CA inhibitor
- decrease HCO3- reabsorption
- K+ sparing
- aldosterone blockade prevents K+ secretion and H+ secretion
- hyperkalemia causes K+ to enter cells and H+ is excreted in exchange
- H+/K+ exchanger
14
Q
Alkalemia and diuretics
A
- Furosemide + Ethacrynic acid (loop)
- Hydrochlorothiazide (thiazides)
- Volume contraction –> increased AT II –> increased Na+/H+ exchanger in proximal tubule –> increased HCO3- reabsorption
- Hypokalemia–> K+ exits cells and H+ enters cells via H+/K+ exchanger
- Hypokalemia –> H+ is exchanged for Na+ instead of K+, leading to paradoxical aciduria
15
Q
Urine Ca+ levels diuretics
A
- Furosemide + Ethacrynic acid (loops)
- increase urine Ca+ ==> hypocalcemia
- decrease paracellular Ca+ reabsorption
- increase urine Ca+ ==> hypocalcemia
- Hydrachlorothiazide (thiazides)
- decrease urine Ca+ ==> hypercalcemia
- enhance paracellular Ca+ reabsorption in proximal tubule and loop of henle
- decrease urine Ca+ ==> hypercalcemia
