Homework Answers
Ans)1) Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) are medications that slow (inhibit) the activity of the enzyme ACE, which decreases the production of angiotensin II. As a result, blood vessels enlarge or dilate, and blood pressure is reduced.
2) High ceiling/loop diuretic. High ceiling diuretics may cause a substantial diuresis – up to 20% of the filtered load of NaCl (salt) and water. This is large in comparison to normal renal sodium reabsorption which leaves only about 0.4% of filtered sodium in the urine.
3) Thiazide / potassium-sparing diuretic combinations are used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and edema. They work by causing the kidneys to get rid of excess salt and water while retaining potassium.

High blood pressure may be treated by multiple medications. Lasix (a loop diuretic), ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin II receptor blockers arc among these. Taking into consideration what you know about how the kidneys work AND how the kidneys regulate systemic BP, explain how each of these 3 medications work. Which one of these could cause hypokalemia and why?

mortality but there were in hospitalizations?
A. They don't.
B. They argue that the sample size may not have been large
enough to detect differences in mortality.

significant finding for mortality due to worsening heart failure
and suggest that may help with heart failure but may cause bone...
