Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 19TYK
Some diuretics are on a list of substances that the International Olympic Committee has banned for use by athletes. What do diuretics do? Propose an explanation for how diuretic use could be an unfair advantage for a competitor in a sport like wrestling, in which weight classes are part of the competition.

caffeine is also diuretic, which means it increases the movement of water through the kidneys into the urine. Why would this potentially offset its value to a distance athlete?
What do you mean by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug development of diuretic drugs? Explain at your own words
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 hyperaldosteronism
affect 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 then
establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption.
Od. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then
establishes 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, and…

- A 30-year-old woman begins drinking excessive amounts because of increased thirst. She weighs 50 kg (110 lbs). She excretes approximately 8 L of dilute urine daily. Her serum sodium concentration is 147 mEq/L. Which of the following peptides will most likely relieve her thirst and decrease her daily volume of excreted urine? a. Angiotensin I b. Angiotensin II c. Bradykinin d. Desmopressin e. Oxytocin f. Substance Parrow_forwardWhich of the following regarding diuretics is false? Diuretics reduce the movement of water out of the filtrate Diuretics reduce ECF fluid volumes Use of diuretics results in increased urine volumes Diuretics increase the placement of aquaporinsarrow_forwardDiabetes can cause a decrease in the specific gravity of urine. If normal urine has a specific gravity between 1.002 and 1.030, and a sample has a density of 1.008 oz/liq. oz., how does the sample compare to normal urine?arrow_forward
- Acetazolamide is a diuretic that blocks the activity of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase inside kidney tubule cells. This blockage prevents theformation of carbonic acid from CO2 and water. Normally, carbonicacid dissociates to form H+ and HCO3−, and the H+ is exchanged forNa+ from the urine. Blocking the formation of H+ in the tubule cellsblocks Na+ reabsorption, thus inhibiting water reabsorption andproducing the diuretic effect. With this information in mind, what effectdoes acetazolamide have on blood pH, urine pH, and respiratory rate?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true regarding aldosterone and ADH? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY) Aldosterone and ADH are released when a person in overhydrated. Aldosterone and ADH work in the same way but have opposite outcomes. Aldosterone and ADH work in slightly different ways but have the same outcome. Aldosterone and ADH are released when a person in dehydrated.arrow_forwardThe steroid nandrolone, which is found naturally in horses, is administered to racing horses to aid in recovery. Because it is an anabolic steroid, nandrolone levels in excess of normal background levels disqualify a horse from racing. For example, to race in the Kentucky Derby, a gelding (a castrated male horse) may have no more than 1 ng/mL in the urine, whereas an unaltered male horse may have no more than 45 ng/mL of the metabolite estrane-3,17-diol in the urine. Knowing that nandrolone is an anabolic steroid, which hormone would you expect it to closely resemble? (testosterone cortisol O progesterone O epinephrine antidiuretic hormone During metabolism, carbon 3 and carbon 4 of nandrolone are reduced, forming the metabolite estrane-3,17-diol. Modify nandrolone to give estrane-3,17-diol. Select Draw Rings More Erase S с O 0 H ✪ ا قد 2 oarrow_forward
