- Both aldosterone and ADH decrease distal and collecting tubule absorption of sodium, which in turn causes an osmotic imbalance that drives the reabsorption of water from the tubule.
- Because water reabsorption in the distal and collecting tubules requires ADH, the aldosterone mechanism must work in concert with the ADH mechanism if homeostasis of the fluid content in the body is to be maintained.

- What effect on the treatment of secondary hypertension would you expect from angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor drugs?
- When secondary hypertension occurs, the cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus secrete renin, which in turn results in angiotensin production and increased blood pressure, so giving ACE inhibitors may reduce the production of angiotensin and lower the blood pressure.
- Secondary hypertension is caused stenosis of the renal artery, so ACE inhibitors will relax the vessel, thus reducing blood pressure.
- Secondary hypertension is caused stenosis of the renal artery, so ACE inhibitors will decrease atherosclerotic plaque and result in a lower blood pressure.

- Renal suppression occurs when effective filtration pressure falls to zero and the kidneys shut down, so a urinary catheter would not help this situation.
- Renal suppression occurs when effective filtration pressure is elevated and urine production is increased, thus allowing free-flowing urine. A urinary catheter isn’t needed in this situation.
- Renal suppression occurs when there is a disruption of nervous input to the bladder, resulting in loss of control of voiding. A urinary catheter would not be a treatment for the condition.

- Increased urea and creatinine levels in the blood indicate the inability of the kidney to filter creatinine and urea.
- Glucose in urine and complete blood count elevations indicate the kidney’s inability to produce red blood cells.
- pH and specific gravity elevation indicate kidney dysfunction because an increase in solutes prevents the kidney from filtering correctly.
