A drug has a side effect that increases the frequency of urination. What might cause this? The drug is most likely an oliguric used to treat hypertension. The oliguric is probably working on the loop of Henle and is inhibiting the reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- . The drug is most likely a diuretic used to treat hypotension.

Loop diuretics are drugs sometimes used to treat hypertension. These drugs inhibit the reabsorption of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{*}$ ions by the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. A side effect is that they increase urination. Why do you think this is the case?
One type of diuretic given to people with high blood pressure, renal disease, and congestive heart failure are thiazide-type diuretics. These drugs inhibit sodium ion reabsorption by inhibiting the transport in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. What does it mean to inhibit the transport of sodium ions in the loop of Henle? B) Explain how this inhibition of sodium ions in the loop of Henle could help increase urine production. Explain why people who get inner ear infections often experience dizziness. Identify the action or effect of the following hormones: Hormone: Calcitonin Action or Effect: Hormone: Luteinizing hormone (LH) Action or Effect: Hormone: Glucagon Action or Effect: Hormone: Progesterone Action or Effect:
