Question:medium

Which one of the following diuretics does not require its presence in the renal tubular lumen for its pharmacological effects?

Show Hint

Loop diuretics, thiazides, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are organic anions that are actively secreted into the proximal tubule via organic anion transporters (OATs) to reach their site of action.
Aldosterone antagonists bypass this transport and act directly from the basolateral/blood side.
  • Thiazide diuretics
  • Loop diuretics
  • Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
  • Aldosterone antagonists
