Q

what is BUN?

A

the ammount of nitrogen that comes from the waste product UREA. Higher BUN: more renal impairment (can also be affeccted by level of hydration)

Q

what is the MOA of the LOOP diuretics?

A

the inhibit the Sodium potassium pump of the ascending loop of Henle . Sodium reabsorpiton is interrupted, meaning less water is absorbed. Also less calcium is absorbed

Q

what explains a positive benefit for thiazides at the distal tubule?

A

They also increase calcium absorption here (leading to protective bone effect)

Q

where is the MOA of potassium sparing diuretics?

A

thye were in the collecting duct by blocking the abosorption of Na and water by aldosterone. They also lead to potassium retention there.

Q

how do ACE/ARBs provide a kidney protective benefit?

A

they cause efferent artiolar dilation (less pressure in the kidney and blood the Renin Angiotension alsdosterone system): decrease blood pressure: less kidney damage

expect to have a 30% increase in Serum Createnine. Dont stop uless it goes higher than 30%increase
also expect increase in potassium
