ANSWERS 2026 - 2027
How do osmotic diuretics such as Mannitol work?
Mannitol increases the osmolarity of the plasma and the renal tubular
fluid.
They work by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium.
Mannitol works by inhibiting the reabsorption of potassium.
None of the above - ANSWERS-correct Answer:
Mannitol increases the osmolarity of the plasma and the renal tubular
fluid.
When the osmolarity of the plasma is increased and the renal tubular
fluid is
increased, it will prevent water absorption in the kidney. This causes
water
to be extracted from the intracellular compartment, causing an increase
in
arterial blood volume and renal blood flow.
