Explain how the VERY commonly prescribed medication Lasix, which blocks the NKCC-mediated transporter, works as such a powerful diuretic. Include the direct effect(s) and the INdirect effect(s) blocking this transporter has on the water retention/concentration abilities of the kidneys - structures affected (nephron sections, kidney structures), etc. Also address how this medication may affect sodium and potassium concentrations in the body.
Why do people with hypertension keep a low-salt (low- sodium) diet? Explain further.
The blood flow to the kidneys is transiently reduced during acute renal ischemia. How a decrease in blood flow to kidneys affects the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sodium absorption, and blood pressure. Describe how decreased blood flow is detected in the kidneys, and how it affects renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone secretion, sodium and fluid retention, and blood pressure.
