Chapter 39 Diuretics Open-Book Quiz‚ Chapter 39 1. Three uses of diuretics include treatment of hypertension‚ mobilization of edematous fluid‚ and used to prevent renal failure. 2. Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid of the adrenal cortex; it stimulates reabsorption of sodium from the distal cortex. 3. Most diuretics share the same basic mechanism of action: they block sodium and chloride reabsorption. The greatest diuresis is produced by those drugs whose site of action

restricting sodium‚ which is probably more important in hypertension control. Their observations preceded the use of diets extremely low in salt‚ which became popular in the 1940s. The success of these diets stimulated the development of the thiazide diuretics. Several investigators‚ such as Watkin and Murphy found that the rice diet of Kempner depended on severe sodium restriction to levels as low as 20 to 30 mEq/day. Moderate salt restriction was ineffective in these patients‚ possibly because they

What is hypertension? Where do you start for treatment? Hypertension: Hypertension is high blood pressure. Well‚ there are several medication treatments for hypertension. Most doctor start patients with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)‚ which is a diuretic. Diuretics are basically known as a water pill‚ which helps remove excess sodium and water from the body.

Schedule II can only be prescribed in person‚ unless it’s an emergency. Schedule II’s dispensing is very strict since it has a high possibility of abuse. An example of schedule II would be morphine‚ fentanyl and hydromorophone. Schedule III has a moderate potential for abuse. Unlike schedule II which doesn’t have refills on prescriptions‚ Schedule III

INTRODUCTION — In almost all cases‚ hyponatremia results from the intake (either oral or intravenous) and subsequent retention of water [1]. A water load will‚ in normal subjects‚ be rapidly excreted as the dilutional fall in plasma osmolality suppresses the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)‚ thereby allowing the excretion of a dilute urine. The maximum rate of water excretion on a regular diet is over 10 liters per day‚ thereby providing an enormous range of protection against the development
