Hyperaldosteronism (excessive aldosterone release) can be caused by many disease states including tumours in the adrenal gland.By now, we should be familiar with how this will affect sodium balance and blood pressure, but how would hyperaldosteronismaffect potassium levels and why? Select one potassium effect (a or b) and one cause (c-f).a. The patient will become hyperkalemic.O b. The patient will become hypokalemic.O c. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which thenestablishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption.Od. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which thenestablishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption.O e. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct by increasing expression of EnaCs, sodium/potassium exchangers, andsodium/hydrogen exchangers on the luminal membrane. Thus as sodium reabsorption increases, potassium secretion increases.O f. An increase in sodium reabsorption reduces activity of the sodium/potassium pump. This increases ECF potassium concentrations, increasingpotassium clearance.

Which of the following is correct about chloride reabsorption from the loop of Henle? Group of answer choices A. Cl– is reabsorbed to the blood through the channels in the basolateral cell membrane of the thick segment of loop of Henle B. Cl– is reabsorbed through Na–K–2Cl cotransporter in the basolateral membrane of the thick segment of loop of Henle C. Cl– is reabsorbed through chloride/bicarbonate cotransporters D. Some Chloride is allowed through the Para cellular gaps E. Both A and B are correct

What is the function of antidiuretic hormone? Group of answer choices 1. It increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to sodium so more is reabsorbed. 2. It decreases renin secretion. 3. It increases aldosterone secretion. 4. It causes a high volume of less concentrated urine to be produced. 5. It increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water so more is reabsorbed.
