How do Thiazide Diuretics Work? Understanding Bendroflumethiazide and Indapamide

The video contains a simple and visual explanation of how bendroflumethiazide and indapamide, both thiazide diuretics, work to encourage the kidneys to excrete more water and sodium. We cover some basics about how the nephron works and look in detail at the action of thiazide diuretics on the thiazide sensitive sodium chloride co transporter molecule in the distal tubule of the nephron. We also talk about the indications, some practical tips on using thiazide diuretics, adverse effects and contraindications.

A little bit incomplete. It would be very useful to mention the importance of reabsorption of Ca2+ in hypercalciuria promoted by thiazides. Thank you, still!

[@drcharutapradeep]

Short and simple but very helpful. Thank you!

[@ZeroToFinals]

Glad to help Charuta

Great Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Benjamaar seduction Enhancer (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one off guide for learning the secret to get a massive erection again minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got excellent results with it.

[@aliyakhan7240]

Doubt : how K+ is also excreted along with Na+
Plz Xplain : under thiazide actuon increased amount of sodium is presented to distal nephron, more of it xchanges with potassium. As a result potassium xcretion increased in parallel to naturetic response
In reference to: KD Tripathi 3 rd edition page 213last para

Why hypokalemia is seen in thiazide diuretics?

[@drchinyendujokoronkwo2458]

Great

Do you have to supplement potasium with indapimade

[@iMaGiNaTiOnWpAsSiOn]

I’m trying to understand the difference in mechanism of action between loops and thiazides. It seems like they do the exact same thing by not allowing Na/Cl to go back into the bloodstream. The only difference I’m seeing is that they’re operating at different points in this kidneys. I’m so confused 😭

[@julielarge6120]

I was on Indapamide. I had to come off it.

[@user-gw5ji3xd2n]

Why isn't pharmacology notes there on website?

[@jesussalvadorgonzalezlopez3678]

Why loop diuretics dont cause hyponatremia if the also inhibit Na reabsortion in ascending loop?

[@ZeroToFinals]

mostly because water follows sodium. hyponatraemia occurs due to a greater proportion of water to sodium, but when sodium is excreted, water follows so the proportion stays the same. having said that loop diuretics can cause hyponatraemia.
