Question

[Chapter 5, IV C 3 a; VI C 2; Table 5.11]. Thiazide diuretics act on the early distal tubule (cortical diluting segment) to inhibit $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$reabsorption. At the same site, they enhance $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ reabsorption so that urinary excretion of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$is increased while urinary excretion of $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ is decreased. $\mathrm{K}^{+}$excretion is increased because the flow rate is increased at the site of distal tubular $\mathrm{K}^{+}$secretion.
