Q

acetazolamide

A
  • carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
  • acts on CA in lumen and cells of prox tubule (distal collecting duct is a secondary site of ax where acid secretion in inhibited)

  • luminal pH increases, less H+ delivery to lumen.
  • sulfanilamide drug
  • K wasting due to high Na delivery to distal nephron
