Q

list which diuretics work at the different points of the renal tubules

what transporters are affected

A

mannitol: inhibit aquaporin in PT
acetazolamide: inhibit carbonic anhydrase (HCO3/Na) in PT

Q

outline causes of hypoNa w ↓osmolality

A

= ADH does NOT bring in Na, it translocates aquaporins to the membrane (vs ALD)

1) HF and cirrhosis = states of hyervolemia that the body perceives as hypoV so is constantly trying to retain H20 –> non-osmotic release of ADH
- 2° to low C.O in HF, low vasc resistance in cirrhosis
2) kidney ineffective
- advance renale failure= even w low ADH, the min Uosm will rise bc the urine can’t dilute
- diuretics : thiazides >> diuretics
3) inc ADH

= 2° to vomiting, diarrhea, adrenal insuficiencty (x corticol inhibition of ADH)

=1° –> dec ADL, inc ADH

= SIADH:

  • 2° small cell LC, strokes, brain bleed/tumor, pulm ds
