31
Q

32
Q

Diuretics - electrolyte changes - urine NaCL

A

increased with ALL diuretics (strength varies based on potency of diuretic effect) –> serum NaCL decreased as a result

33
Q

Diuretics - electrolyte changes - urine K+

A
  • increased esp with loop and thiazide diuretics (and maybe acetazolamide) –> decreased serum K+
  • decreased in K+ sparing diuretics –> hyperkalemia
34
Q

Diuretics - electrolyte changes - Urine Ca2+ (and mechanism)

A

increased with loop diuretics (decrease paracellular Ca2+ reabsorption)–> hypocalcemia
decreased with thiazide (enhanced Ca2+ reabsorption)
–> hypercalcemia

35
Q

diuretics that affect blood pH

A
  1. acidemia: a. carbonic anhydrase inhibitors b. K+ sparing diuretics
  2. alkalemia: a. loop diuretics b. alkalosis
36
Q

carbonic anhydrase inhibitors causes acidemia - mechanism

A

decrease HCO3- reabsorption

37
Q

K+ sparing diuretics causes acidemia - mechanism

A
  1. aldosterone blockage prevents K+ secretion and H+ secretion
  2. Hyperkalemia leads to K+ entering all cells (via H+/K+ exchanger) in exchange for H+ exiting cells
38
Q

Loop diuretics and thiazides causes alkalemia - mechanism

A
  1. K+ loss lead to K+ exiting all cells (via Na+/K+ exchanger) in exchange for H+ entering cells
  2. Volume contraction –> AT II –> Na/H+ exchange in PCT –> high HCO3 reabsortion (contraction alkalosis)
  3. In low K+ state, H+ (rather than K+) is exchanged for Na+ in cortical collecting tubule –> alkalosis and paradoxical aciduria)
39
Q

Angiotensin II action

A
  1. acts at angiotensin II receptor (type 1-AT1) on vascular SMC –> vasoconstriction –> increases BP
  2. constricts EFFERENT arteriole of glomerus –> increases Filtration fraction to preserve GFR in low volumes states (eg. when low RBF)
  3. Aldosterone secretion (adrenal gland) –> a. increases Na channel and Na/K pump in principal cells b. enchance K+ and H+ exretion by way of prinicipal cell K channels and α-intercalated cells H+ ATPase –> creats favorable Na+ gradient for Na and H20 reabsorption
  4. ADH posterior pituitary –> increases aquaporin insertion in principal cells –> H2O reabsorption
  5. increases PCT Na/H+ exchanger activity –> Na+, HCO3- and H2O reabsorption –> permit contraction alkalosis
  6. Stimulates hypothalamus –> thirst
