Diuretic
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Diureticagent that ↑ urine volume
- 2Natriuretic↑ in renal Na+ excretion
↓ reabsorption of Na+ at different sites in the nephron because natriuretics also↑water excretion they are usually called diuretics - 3Aquareticagents that alter water excretion
↑ excretion of solute-free water as
osmotic diuretics & ADH-antagonists - 4The aim of diuretic therapyenhance Na+
excretion promoting negative Na+ balance
net result Na+ & fluid loss leads to contraction of the over-expanded ECF - 5The effects of diuretics are predictable from ---------a knowledge the function of the segment of the nephron in which they act
- 6Proximal convoluted Tubule (PCT)
- 7loop of Henle
- 8Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
- 9ollecting Tubule (CCT) & Duct
