Common Cardiovascular Drugs Questions
Question 1 of 5
What likely contributed to furosemide-induced metabolic alkalosis in this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer C: Furosemide inhibits Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter in the loop of Henle, leading to decreased Na+ reabsorption. This results in increased delivery of Na+ to the distal tubule, stimulating H+ secretion and bicarbonate reabsorption, causing metabolic alkalosis. Mild inhibition of carbonic anhydrase by furosemide also contributes by reducing H+ secretion in the proximal tubule. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: Increased reabsorption of uric acid is not directly related to furosemide-induced metabolic alkalosis. B: Increased delivery of Na+ to the distal tubule is a consequence of furosemide action but does not directly contribute to metabolic alkalosis. D: Decreased reabsorption of Ca2+ in the loop of Henle may lead to hypocalcemia but is not a direct cause of metabolic alkalosis in this case.
