Q1Domain Verified
During a severe bout of hyponatremia, which of the following cellular mechanisms is MOST likely to be activated in brain cells to prevent cytotoxic edema?
Induction of organic osmolyte synthesis, such as taurine and glutamate, to increase intracellular solute concentration.
Activation of volume-sensitive chloride channels to facilitate chloride efflux.
Increased activity of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump to actively extrude sodium.
Deregulation of aquaporin-2 channels to promote water reabsorption into the cell.
Q2Domain Verified
A patient presents with a history of excessive sweating, vomiting, and diuretic use, leading to significant sodium depletion. Their serum sodium is 128 mEq/L, and they exhibit mild confusion. Which of the following intravenous fluid choices would be MOST appropriate for initial management, considering the need for cautious sodium repletion and avoiding rapid osmotic shifts?
0.9% Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl).
Lactated Ringer's Solution.
5% Dextrose in Water (D5W).
3% Hypertonic Saline (3% NaCl).
Q3Domain Verified
The action of the thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide, in promoting natriuresis and thereby potentially leading to hyponatremia is primarily mediated by its inhibition of which specific transporter in the renal tubules?
Epithelial sodium channel (ENa
in the collecting duct. C) Na+/Cl- cotransporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule.
Na+/K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC2) in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
Sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) in the proximal tubule.
