How do diuretics work to reduce excess fluid in the body? Describe the mechanisms of action for three types of diuretics.
Define the term potassium-sparing diuretics?
Diuretics cause sodium excretion. Sodium follows water. Therefore, diuretics lead to a reduction in volume (remember BP = heart rate x volume x blood vessel tone (SVR)). Since diuretics lower volume, they lower BP. When would diuretics be indicated? When would they be contraindicated?

A) Angiotensin II stimulates production of aldosterone, which increases sodium reabsorption B) Renin converts angiotensinogen to angotensin I C) Angiotensin II stimulates production of vasopressin, which increases aquaporins in the collecting duct D) Vasopressin decreases thirst E) Renin lowers GFR 2) The purpose of excretion is to A) maintain internal pH B) remove harmful substances C) maintain plasma volume D) maintain osmotic balance E) maintain internal solute concentrationarrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of aldosterone?

- drugs known as potassium-sparing diuretics work by blocking the effects of aldosterone on the kidney. what effect would these drugs have on the amount of urine produced, on the blood pressure, and on potassium ion concentration in the blood? could these drugs have a negative impact on the acid-base balance of the body? explain.arrow_forwardthere is a known cause of high blood pressure that occurs because of a reduced fluid flow that triggers RAAS and Na+ reaborption with increased blood volume and pressure. what is it?arrow_forwardIndicate which of the following is (are) being described: angiotensisn II, aldosterone and/or ADH increases blood pressure by direct vasoconstriction (2 answers) stimulates insertion of aquaporins into the collecting duct (1) increases the secretion of the other two (1) acts on the principal cells of the nephron (2 answers) increases Na+ reabsorption by the kidney (1) has its production directly blocked by ACE inhibitors (1) increases water reabsorption by acting on kidney collecting duct (1)arrow_forward
- Which correctly describes the mechanism of action of the loop diuretics? O They create a very hyperosmotic urine O They disrupt the concentration gradient in the renal medullary fluid O They disrupt the action of ADH on collecting duct epithelial cells O They directly block aldosterone from binding to its receptors O They lower blood pressure by promoting secretion of reninarrow_forwardA person is taking a drug that inhibits the tubular secretion of H1. What effect does this drug have on the body’s balance of sodium, water, and H1? Hint: Remember that Na1 reabsorption by the proximal tubule is achieved by Na1/H1 countertransport.arrow_forwardHow is the diuresis produced by furosemide like the diuresis produced by diabetes mellitus? How are they different?arrow_forward
- Which is TRUE of the RAAS pathway? angiotensin Il directly leads to vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone which promotes Na+ reabsorption at the cortical collecting duct ANP stimulates the RAAS pathway, while ADH/vasopressin inhibits the RAAS pathway increased plasma volume directly puts extra pressure on the afferent arteriole and indirectly increases pressure in the distal tubule, both of which lead to stimulation of renin release angiotensin Il promotes activation of the parasympathetic system which decreases GFR low plasma Na+ is sensed by the proximal tubule and triggers release of renin from JGA cellsarrow_forwardExplain anti-diuretic hormone.arrow_forwardhow does aldosterone raise blood pressure? Choose all that apply: distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, increase sodium reabsorption, decrease sodium reabsorption, passive movement of water.arrow_forward
