Matt W, age 10 years, has just returned from a camping trip with his scout troop. He has a runny nose and itchy eyes and is irritable. The tent was set up in a grassy field, and the boys played several games on the field. Matt’s dad takes him to the local health care center, where a diagnosis of allergy to pollen is made.

The father was anxious about the symptoms and asked for medications, what medications can help in this case, describe the mechanism of action, and any side effects or contraindications.

After returning to the recovery room the valve starts to leak and the blood pressure starts to fall, a patient who was sent open-heart surgery for a replacement of an aortic valve. After the personal starts to infuse norepinephrine to increase the blood pressure, the renal function of the patient starts to decline.

1. What are the mechanisms by which norepinephrine might lower the glomerular filtration rate? Be sure to focus on renal plasma flow and Glomerular Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure.

2. The personal is concerned by his lowered glomerular filtration rate. The elect to try a new treatment, the infusion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). What might be the mechanism by which this would increase GFR?
