Description

This lecture covers the mechanism of action, clinical uses, and side effects of diuretic drugs. It also explains drug interventions in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, focusing on renin inhibitors and enzyme inhibitors. The lecture details the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (IECA) on blood pressure, bradykinin levels, and tissue remodeling, as well as the risk of side effects like hyperkalemia and angioedema.
