3. Patient with history of recurrent UTI's causing urethral scaring
4. Stress: increased intra-abdominal pressure from coughing, laughing, exercise, resulting in incontinence. Cause is a hypermobile bladder with exertion.
Term
Sodium escape phenomenon in chronic Conn's (primary hyperaldosteronism) syndrome.
-Early vs. chronic disease
Definition
Early = serum Na+ elevated
Chronic= chronic HTN from elevated Na+ increases ANP from right atrium resulting in Na+ excretion and this serum Na+ normalization occurs.
Term
MOA of statin drugs and possible side effects on the kidney.
Definition
MOA: inhibits HMG-CoA reductase in the liver (decreasing cholesterol synthesis).

Side effects: rhabdomyolysis. *patient with red colored urine but NO RBC's present = red is myoglobin from skeletal muscle breakdown and not hemoglobin.
- Rhabdo can lead to ATN, seen by granular casts and renal tubular cells in urine.
Term
Name the category of drug that masks hypoglycemic events in diabetics, can exacerbate asthma, cause an AV block, and therefore you should prescribe with caution.
Definition
