Drugs that inhibit sodium reabsorption, increasing water excretion in urine.

A loop diuretic acting in the ascending loop of Henle, used as a prototype.

Diuretics that act in the ascending limb of the Loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption.

Inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption in the ascending Loop of Henle, leading to increased urine output.

Another name for loop diuretics due to their ability to produce significant diuresis.

A substance released by loop diuretics that causes vasodilation and decreases preload.

Can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalance, especially hypokalemia.

A condition marked by low potassium levels, often caused by loop diuretics.

A thiazide diuretic acting in the distal convoluted tubule, used for hypertension.

A potassium-sparing diuretic acting on the late distal tubule and collecting duct.

A condition of low magnesium levels in the blood, causing various symptoms.

A condition where the body fluids have excess base (alkali), leading to elevated blood pH.

Harmful effects on the ear (typically the inner ear) often due to certain medications.

An excess of uric acid in the blood, which can lead to gout and other issues.

Diuretics that inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule.

A low estimated glomerular filtration rate indicating poor kidney function.

A situation where drugs with similar structures cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Diuretics that conserve potassium while promoting diuresis.

A potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks aldosterone's effects.

A potassium-sparing diuretic that inhibits sodium channels in the nephron.

Spironolactone blocks aldosterone, while Amiloride and Triamterene block sodium channels.

Development of breast tissue in men, a side effect of high-dose spironolactone.

A condition where potassium-sparing diuretics can improve outcomes when combined with other treatments.

A selective aldosterone receptor antagonist used in heart conditions.

A phenomenon where aldosterone levels rise again despite ACE inhibitors.
