Questions and Answers

What is the role of thiazide diuretics in the treatment of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus mechanisms?

  • They increase water retention by the kidneys.
  • They enhance the effect of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on renal tubules.
  • They decrease sodium excretion leading to increased urine output.
  • They promote sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. (correct)

    • What risk is associated with administering two potassium-sparing diuretics?

  • Risk of acute renal failure.
  • Risk of metabolic alkalosis.
  • Risk of dehydration due to excessive diuresis.
  • Risk of hyperkalemia. (correct)

    • Which hypothalamic nucleus is predominantly involved in the neurosecretory function affecting vasopressin?

  • Lateral hypothalamic area.
  • Supraoptic nucleus (SON). (correct)
  • Dorsomedial nucleus.
  • Arcuate nucleus.
