Renal Drugs Flashcards

1
Q
  • act on DCT and collecting ducts to promote water reabsorption
  • prevents water loss from the body, regulated fluid balance

Q
  • increases reabsorption of Na in DCT and collecting ducts back into the blood
  • this causes an osmotic imbalance which causes water to flow back into the blood along with the sodium
A

Aldosterone
