Loop diuretics inhibit the ability of kidneys to reabsorb sodium in the ascending loop. What impact would this have on urine and plasma volume and osmolarity? For each value, would it a) increase, b) decrease or c) stay the same? Urine volume Urine concentration Plasma volume Plasma concentration What condition would you treat with these drugs? How would you expect hormone levels to change in response to the effect of these drugs? (Must discuss specific hormones)
