Best description of the different diuretics I've seen so far... I've saved it to watch later cos there's a lot of info to digest in one sitting, but really, I'm getting old. Please keep em coming 👍

Curious. Wouldn't altitude sickness be an example of respiratory alkalosis rather than metabolic? The primary example given by our professor was excessive emesis. Enjoyed the video! Can definitely see myself using your channel throughout my first year.

Great video as usual, would like to comment on lighting, the shadows seem to be flickering and it's general more darker and more difficult to look at.

My dear partner died last year almost certainly due to kidney failure. She was aged 86 and had been prescribed Furosemide for several years. This was intended to treat her oedema (ankle swelling), and her ascites (extended abdomen). The Furosemide was not a "cure" for either condition, although it might have had a mitigating effect. But I believe that it was the direct cause of her kidney failure by which she died earlier than she would have otherwise. I believe that diuretics should be prescribed only for short periods of time, if at-all. Apart from causing ultimate mortality the other side-effect is to reduce the quality of the patient's life to less than zero. My partner became a wretched prisoner in her home. This was because she needed constant access to the toilet, so she was unable to go far from her front door. What is the point of prescribing a medication whose side-effects are more distressing than the condition it is intended to treat? (I have never heard of anyone dying from oedema). I know nothing about medical science, but that is not necessary. For whatever reasons diuretics stimulate the kidneys into "overdrive". Surely this amounts to an abuse, and we should not be surprised when negative consequences arise. When physicians prescribe diurects their patients are entitled to receive a warning that their death may be one of the side-effects.

[@MikeB-sp6gp]

Big fan of your videos. I got lost on this one though. Maybe it was me, but my sense is that it requires a greater understanding of biochemistry than your other videos-- which was a problem for me.

[@drSJV]

Great video 💪🙂 Thank you so much again!

[@kamillakash]

[@darkmoon3646]

[@amarsingh122]

great review!!

[@paolayellowe6887]

Thank you so much for this video...I need some clarification. In the ascending limb of the LOH, The Na-K-Cl pump- why does the sodium go in the same direction as the potassium but they go in reverse directions in the Na-K pump in the DCT?

[@meeromeer8812]

Thanks.

[@mpinci]

[@ME-xh5zq]

[@vetmed4934]

[@pennychurchward1481]

Mannitol ….Chemotherapy….Cisplatin prehydration

[@2vaclav]

I like how a good part of this video is basically taken from Speed Pharmacology and put into an even worse accent.

[@debrajdas4527]
