DIT Renal A/P HYQ

QuestionAnswer
reabsorbs 67% of the fluid and electrolytes filtered by the glomerulus Proximal Convoluted Tubule
Segment responsible for concentrating urine collecting duct
site of secretion of organic anions and cations proximal tubule
always impermeable to water thick ascending limb of LOH
permeable to water only in the presence of ADH collecting duct/ late distal tubule
site of the Na/2Cl/K co transporter thick ascending limb of LOH
site of isotonic fluid reabsorption proximal convoluted tubule
site responsible for diluting urine thick ascending limb of LOH
only site where glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed proximal convoluted tubule
water reabsorption in the loop of henle thin descending limb of LOH
what class of drugs inhibits the Na/2CL/K symporter in the thick ascending limb? loop diuretics
what determines how much water is reabsorbed in the distal tubules and the collecting ducts? ADH
what two types of cells compose the collecting duct and the last segment of the distal tubule? principle cells and intercalated cells
What are the two types of intercalated cells H+ secreting, HCO3 secreting
what class of diuretic directly affects principle cells potassium sparing diuretics
what affect does aldosterone have on intercalated cells? stimulates acid secretion
what affect does aldosterone have on principle cells? increased sodium reabsorption and increased potassium secretion
what drug antagonizes aldosterone's action on the principle cells of the CD therby promoting Na excretion and inhibiting K excretion? (aldosterone antagonists) spironalactone, eplerenone
what renders the DT and CD impermeable to water? the absence of ADH
K+ shifts OUT of cells = HYPERkalemia
K+ shifts INTO cells = HYPOkalemia
causes K+ shift out of cells (HYPERk) low insulin, beta blockers, acidosis, digoxin, cell lysis
causes K+ shift into cells (HYPOk) insulin, beta agonists, alkalosis, cell creation/proliferation
How does acidosis affect extracellular K concentrations increased
HOw does alkalosis affect extracellular K concentrations decreased
What drug used to treat candidiasis would cause cyclosporin toxicity? ketoconazole
How do you adjust digoxin for a patient with renal insufficiency? decrease the dose
How do you adjust digitoxin for a patient with renal insufficiency? you don't, it isn't renally excreted
What effect will a renal stone that obstructs the ureter have on GFR and FF? decreased GFR, decreased FF
what is the maximal serum glucose concentration at which glucose can be absorbed in the tubules? 350 mg/dL
What change in a basic metabolic panel might you expect in a young pt being treated for status asthmaticus? hypokalemia d2 beta agonist use
increased anion gap acidosis causes MUD PILES
A pt taking lisinopril gets a cough. What should you switch him to? ARB
A pt with HF exacerbation needs diuresis but has a sulfa allergy. What do you use? Ethacrynic acid
At pt has HTN, hypokealemia, met alkalosis and low renin. Dx and Tx Conn's, spironalactone

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
