Diuretic action in the kidney

[sakr23045]

thank you so much

[easonb10]

Thank you so much for this video. It cleared everything up for my anatomy lab.

[lgpirate]

Thank you, i really appreciate this video

[MrBahmankurdistan]

thank you so much for this nice explanation.it's realy amazing.

[triplechocolatecake]

I can not tell you how amazed I am by this explanation! suddenly it is all clear! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[shadowz247]

Thank you very much for this video is was very helpful in clearing up my understanding of diuretics. It makes me a lot more confident with my exam now!

[mhuwae]

That was really useful! Renal physiology is often poorly taught and your 8 minute video cleared away hours of confusion!

[lainemichelleallen]

thank u jimcrackz for your comment I laughed so hard I stopped breathing...... I didn't expect that lol! GREAT VIDEO tho guys! COFFEE IS a diuretic.... all things containing coffee are.

[joesephas]

amazing!!! this was really helpful!!!!

[jimcrackz]

I never knew my kidneys were so pixalated

[crazymba]

really great video.. its make easy to understand all the diuretics. thank u

[fayenesse]

is coffee a diuretic.. cause everyone is confusing me and some are saying it is and some are saying its not but i remember being taught caffeine was a diuretic ..so is it?

[M00Dswing9]

@fayenesse Yes, it is

[fayenesse]

@M00Dswing9 YESS! I was right .. my "all knowing" dad had a bet with me and said it wasn't! Thank you!

[boygapuz]

@fayenesse Yes it is

[depphough]

@fayenesse it is diuretic

[medstudentE2008]

Awesome video for mechanisms! Thank you!

[Chaitanya8eenz]

this is amazing... it made it so simple for me to remember the diuretics.. thanx a lot! i will never forget them in my life! :)

[taraangelakrysteena]

thanks

[hoilegend]

Thanks a lot !!

[nireshnr]

thank u great video & helpful in my studying.

[jerryg50]

Excellent explanation. But, it takes some knowledge to understand well.

What is amazing is how the researchers were able to come up with this type of knowledge and then work out how to control it!

[amyvaverka]

excellent vid, explanation, timing, everything!

[dandir11]

very nice vedio

[bobxoo]

what is the best diretic to take ?

[Glacios]

Loop diuretics are the most indicated for heart failure, as they have the greatest effect - thiazides and carbonic anyhdrase inhibitors are weak, while Epithelial Sodium Channel Inhibitors like Amiloride only contribute 2% of the overall Sodium load - just as weak.

[DisgracefulPoetry]

Excellent! I'm going to ace the kidney portion of my bio exam with this. Thanks!

[sofrito34]

Thank you so much.

[elin1037]

Thorough illustration - thanks!

[smaru486]

good video

[batoflojo]

thank you !!! It is very helpful (:

Some mispronunciations...accurate, but the read was VERY boringly monotone.

[Clauzinhaa]

Great resume to my test on monday :D

thanks =)

[busrider85]

For loop diuretics, 3 potassium atoms flow in from the lumen side and 2 potassium from the interstitium side. The 5 k atoms then flow out into the lumen through a potassium channel. How does a loop diuretic cause potassium to be lost in the lumenal urine? Thinking it through, there should be more potassium in the interstitium b/c 2 k atoms will cease to be dumped into the cell then dumped out of the k channel. Unless there is increased volume flow w/c washes away everything faster

Needs some help with pronunciation!! A couple of mispronounced words!

[sydcansam]

Having studied in many different countries I've been faced with a plethora of pronunciations for scientific and medical terms. I've learned the way one pronounces, or spells, words in one area may not at all be like they do in another.

Simple Examples:

Respiratory

Skeletal

Fetal vs. Foetal

Esophagus vs Oesophagus

I've noticed these differ not only between countries but clinics, profs, etc. Better to just let an alternative pronunciation slide as it shows a lack of diversity in your education.

[sydcansam]

This comment was meant to be a reply to msk7046 but got added as a new comment :-P

[Mrmoc7]

Yes, we all see how you pwned him. Good job.

Yay for diversity!

[bourbonstmc]

@sydcansam I couldn't agree more. People doing this are usually showing their ignorance when they argue that their way to mispronounce some Latin or Greek word is better than someone else's way to mispronounce it.

[novaprincess2004]

@sydcansam There's no need to be snippy. They've put together a very easy to understand presentation and the few words which they may have pronounced "not to your liking" are already spelled out (e.g. Interstitium).

Thanks for making Renal Physiology so easily comprehensible!

[sydcansam]

@novaprincess2004

Novaprincess2004, two things.

The first, the comment you are replying to was posted in December 2008.

Secondly, I don't think you read my comment. Either that or you missed the message completely. My comment was to a fellow commenter who questioned the video's accuracy based solely on the alternate pronunciation of some terms. I pointed out the pronunciation doesn't really matter as it differs between countries, years, schools/clinics, and individuals, etc.

[Reidangel]

Thax for doing this video. It has been a GREAT help to me. Very clear to understand. It catered to me...I'm such a visual and hands on person. Great job!!

[sirscrambalot]

Very high level. Good work.

[reaofczech]

excellent. it helps. tnx.

[o2demand]

awesome audio and video lectures on

[Chuc1985]

This video is excelent!!!

Help a lot to review Renal Physiology.

Its a great help to med students.

[AnatomaniaK]

sweet. i can clearly see the difference between loop diuretics (such as furosemide) and thiozide diuretics and k-sparing diuretics.

[CDMC1st2006]

thanks for sharing the video it make a concept this is clear way to understand diuretic action of the Kidney

[vibhu2002]

excellantee

[cdoylie13]

Nice- thanks so much!

[interceptingfistryan]

interesting. i have a hard time with edema (water retention) what can i do?

[abnagariano2]

This is an excelent video who can i get to present it in my anatomy class??

[alexir2]

MONOTONE! helpful though

[nmundorf]

You want me to be Krusty the Klown or something?

[balajimore]

Can the video clips be purchased and downloaded? If yes. What is the procedure?

Thanks,

Dr. Balaji More

[daliaroushdy]

very excellent wish more over the field of nephrology
