Cards

Term
Site where diuretics enter tubule. Is this active transport?
Definition
PCT, yes (9 acid and 5 base transporters)
Term
Site where 60-70% of filtrate is reabsorbed
Definition
PCT
Term
Kidneys receive ___% of cardiac ouput
Definition
22%
Term
___% of fluid and solutes are filtered into the tubule. This equals ___ liters filtered.
Definition
16-20%
Term
__% of glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed
Definition
99%
Term
T/F the descending loop in permeable to both Na and water
Definition
F. Only water. Impermeable to Na
Term
Site where 25% of Na is reabsorbed. Is impermeable to water.
Definition
Ascending loop
Term
Site where 5% of Na is reabsorbed
Definition
DCT
Term
Water movement in the distal tubule is controlled by ____
Definition
Aldosterone
Term
Site or action for thiazide diuretics
Definition
Distal tubule
Term
Aldosterone inc/dec Na channels in the membrane of the DCT?
Definition
increase
Term
Site of action for K sparing diuretics
Definition
Collecting duct
Term
Site where 2-3% of Na is reabsorbed
Definition
Collecting duct
Term
In the collecting duct, water movement is controlled by ___ and ___
Definition
aldosterone and ADH
Term
Loop diuretics inhibit the ____ carrier on the luminal membrane of the thick ascending loop of Henle
Definition
Na-2CL-K
Term
Name the 4 loop diuretics given in lecture
Definition
Furosemide, Torsemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid
Term
Loop diuretics increase urine output by about ___liters/day
Definition
up to 4
Term
Loop diuretics inc/dec medullary hypertonicity
Definition
decrease
Term
Loop diuretics inc/dec Ca2+ and Mg2+ excretion b/c the inc/dec potential across tubular cell
Definition
increase excretion, decrease potential
Term
T/F Loop diuretics may result in hyperglycemia.
Definition
T. Impaired peripheral glucose uptake (insulin resistance) due to hypokalemia
Term
T/F loop diuretics have a direct relaxant effect on muscle.
Definition
true
Term
Loop diuretics stimulate/inhibit PGE2 to produce a systemic vasodilator effect
Definition
stimulate. (PGE2 is blocked by nsaids). So NSAIDS would block this effect of loops
Term
Reflex activity of loop diuretics due to volume depletion would lead to an increase in __, __, and __
Definition
renin-ang system, aldosterone, ADH
Term
Loop diuretics inc/dec uric acid excretion
Definition
decrease. So increase plasma levels of uric acid.
Term
T/F Loop diuretics are ineffective in pts with CrCl below 30
Definition
False
Term
T/F Loop diuretics may lead to mild metabolic acidosis due to enhanced H+ secretion
Definition
true
Term
Loop diuretic may produce mild hyperlipidemia b/c they increase ____ which leads to increases in____
Definition
Sympathetic activity, TGs
Term
Seizures are an AE of loops due to hypo__
Definition
hyponatremia
Term
cardiac arrhythmias are an AE of loops due to hypo__
Definition
kalemia
Term
Aminoglycosides, platinum, and cisplatin in combination with loops may potentiate this AE
Definition
ototoxicity. Damages hair cells in cochlea
Term
T/F An AE of loop diuretics is azotemia
Definition
true
Term
NSAIDS blunt/potentiate the effects of loops
Definition
blunt.
Term
T/F loop diuretics are a good choice for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
Definition
F. inc Ca loss
Term
Loop diuretics inc/dec the CL of Lithium
Definition
decrease
Term
___ may add to the hypokalemic/hypomagnesium effects of loops -->arrythmias
Definition
digitalis
Term
Chlorthalidone, metolazone, quinethazone, and indapamide are what class of drugs?
Definition
Thiazide like diuretics
Term
____ in a 2nd gen thiazide like that has some CCB activity, less elevation of lipids, less hypokalemia, and less hyperglycemia
Definition
Indapamide
Term
Thiazide Diuretics inhibit ___ transported in the luminal membrane of ___
Definition
Na/Cl, DCT
Term
T/F Thiazide diuretics have carbonic anhydrase activity that greatly contributes to their diuretic activity
Definition
they do have some, but minimal effect
Term
Thiazide increase urine flow by ___L/day
Definition
1-2
Term
Thiazide inc/dec calcium excretion
Definition
decrease. Directly inc Ca reabsorption in PCT and enhance Na/Ca exchanger in DCT
Term
T/F Thiazides may lead to hyperglycemia b/c of increase K+ excrection
Definition
T
Term
___ may be used for hypercalcuria/renal calcium stones
Definition
Thiazides
Term
What effect do thiazides have on diabetes insipidus?
Definition
paradoxical decrease in urine output
Term
Thiazides work best in __,__,__, and __
Definition
elderly, obese, blacks, sodium retentive
Term
The short term mechs of thiazides in decreasing BP are decreased ___ and ___
Definition
blood volume and cardiac output
Term
The long term (chronic) mechanisms of thiazides are:
Direct vasorelaxant (dec TPR)
dec wall thickness, dec "waterlogging"
dec vascular responsiveness to NE
inc vasodepressor responses
Definition
Just sayin.
Term
T/F Thiazides are ineffective at low CrCl <30
Definition
True. (Except for metolazone)
