Pathological indications for the use of diuretics include

All of the above

Lipoproteins differ from one another by

Protein density among the different molecules

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors can become refractory over time because an acid-base balance is needed for medications to work properly

True

Which class of diuretics listed below produces hypokalemia

All of the above

Foods high in potassium include all of the following foods except

Grapefruit juice

Identify the factor pair that determine cardiac output

Heart rate and stroke volume

Severe muscle ache or pain is a sign of a complication for which class of hypolipidemic drug listed below?

Statin drug

One major adverse effect associated with an ACEI drug would include

Cough

Gynecomastia is an adverse of which drug class listed below?

Potassium sparing

The exchange of H+ for K+ in the renal tubules is a/an

Cation exchange

Renin is produced by which organ listed below

Kidneys

Which class of diuretics listed below does NOT cause hypokalemia?

Potassium sparing

Which hypolipidemic drugs listed below are used to lower elevate triglyceride levels?

A and C are correct

Diuretics are used to treat all of the following disorders except

Hypotension

A combination of ______ and ______ can potentiate ototoxicity

Aminoglycoside antibiotic, organic acid diuretic

Renin is a powerful vasoconstrictor released by the liver

False

Hypolipidemics especially the statins are contraindicated during pregnancy

True

One significant adverse effect of Niacin is extreme vasodilation which may be minimized if taken with a baby aspirin

True

Thiazide and Loop diuretics may produce hyperglycemia due to fluid loss.

True

Normal total cholesterol levels should be less than 175mg/dl in patients under 45 years of age

True

Angiotensinogen is converted to Angiotensin in the lungs by an enzyme action

True

Mannitol should not be mixed with whole blood products due to agglutination

True

Statin drugs should never be taken with grapefruit juice

True

Aldosterone is released in response to the release of Angiotensin by the lung

True

Edema is the result of insufficient chloride clearance where fluids accumulates in the extracellular spaces

False

Acetazolamide is a diuretic that also had beneficial effect for people with open-angle glaucoma since carbonic anhydrase is associated with ocular fluid retention

True

Which type of diuretic would be recommended for a patient who was very sensitive to electrolyte imbalances

ADH antagonist

The role of the kidneys on the development of hypertension is in the activation of the R A A mechanism causing vasoconstriction and sodium and water retention leading to an increase of blood pressure

True

Implementing a patient education session for a patient suffering from essential hypertension requires

All of the above

Select the correct statement related to the mechanism of action of aliskiren (tekturna)

Aliskiren inhibits the ensymatic activity of renin and decreases the conversion of angiotensinogen to angitensin I

Select the preferred treatment of hypertension for patients with renal disease

ACEIs and ARBs

After macrophage consume LDL, they are transformed into

Foam cells

Fat streaks in the arteries begin from the oxidized LDL which attracts more macrophages and increases foam cells

True

Why is an unstable plaque more dangerous

Thrombus formation that can block blood flow

The combination of which two disease would increase the risk of limb amputation

Hypercholesterolemia and diabetes

Statin medications should be taken in the evening because cholesterol is endogenously produced at night

True

Rhabdomyolysis is a serious side effect experienced by some patients on statin drugs because myohemoblobin molecules can disrupt blood flow to the kidneys and cause renal failure

True

Acidic metabolic waste products and aspirin would cause metabolic alkalosis due to the limited number of transporters for tubular secretion

False

Focus on the treatment options for malignant hypertension and select the true statement related to sodium nitroprusside (Nipride)

All of these are correct

The secretion of weak acids and weak bases occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron

True
