Q

How does carbonic anydrase inhibition cause diuresis?

A

By blocking the function of carbonic anhydrase, you decrease HCO3- reabsorption and therefore increase the amount which makes it to the distal nephron. Na+ is the most abundunt cation present in proximal tubule fluid and thus accompanies HCO3-. At the distal tubule, Na+ is reabsorbed but bicarb holds the water in the tube and you pee it out.

A

Thiazide diuretic

77
Q

In what ay are thiazides useful for patients with calcium oxalate stones (kidney stones)?
