Agents that promote the secretion of urine are called?
Diuretics promote urine secretion and help to decrease fluid retention. They work by increasing the excretion of water and electrolytes by the kidneys, thus leading to increased urine production. Examples of diuretics include thiazides, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics.
What effect does hyperphosphatemia have on other electrolytes?
Hyperphosphatemia can lead to hypocalcemia by binding to calcium and forming insoluble calcium-phosphate complexes. This can result in symptoms such as muscle cramps, tetany, and seizures. Additionally, hyperphosphatemia can cause a decrease in serum magnesium levels due to increased renal excretion of magnesium.
How is digoxin associated with hypokalemia?
Usually, hyperkalemia is associated with usage of digoxin. This is due to the blocking action of digoxin on the Na/K ase which results in accumulation of extracellular K+.Most of the times, patients presenting with heart problems are already on diuretics before they are prescribed with digoxin. Diuretics cause hypokalemia as they result in excessive excretion of K+ from the body. Hypokalemia in turn causes digoxin toxicity. Digoxin toxicity does not cause hypokalemia, but hypokalemia can worsen digoxin toxicity.
A decrease in plasma osmolality would increase?
urine volume excretion, as the kidneys would excrete more water to maintain balance.
Does glucose increase or decrease in sitting urine?
Glucose levels in urine typically increase after meals when blood glucose levels rise. Glucose excretion in urine is typically higher when blood glucose levels are elevated, such as in uncontrolled diabetes.
Which hormone is responsible for increasing the renal excretion of phosphate?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is responsible for increasing the renal excretion of phosphate by acting on the kidneys to decrease phosphate reabsorption and promote its excretion in the urine.

What are the 3 basic functions of diuretics?
decrease edema
Does diuretics decrease preload or afterload?
it decreases blood volume and preload
Why does the biomass of organisms decrease along food chains?
Because The energy is used for things like respiration and excretion. 10% of the biomass is used up from excretion.
When the kidneys increase the excretion of bicarbonate the pH will?
ph will become elevated and blood will be more acidic
What does a parathyroid horrmone do?
It controls Calcium and phosphate level.It decrease phosphate level and increase calcium level.
Are diuretics good or bad?
They are not inherently either. They can be good if they are used properly. For example, because diuretics increase urine output and decrease blood volume, if someone with high blood pressure takes some prescribed diuretics they can decrease their blood volume and thus their blood pressure. This can be very beneficial. However, if someone already has a blood pressure that is too low, possibly after they have been bleeding out, then taking diuretics would further decrease their BP and this could result in insufficient blood flow to the brain resulting in syncope, brain damage, or death

What would not decrease pulmonary vascular congestion in pulmonary edema...... diuretics high Fowler's position morphine sulfate or propranolol?
high fowler's position
Which hormone decrease calcium?
Calcitonin decreases the calcium level.It also lowers the phosphate level.
