What happens during the disease - poisoning: carbonic-anhydrase inhibitors, benzothiadiazides and other diuretics

The pathogenesis of poisoning due to carbonic-anhydrase inhibitors, benzothiadiazides and other diuretics is due to the inhibition of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which is involved in the regulation of the acid-base balance in the body. this leads to an increase in the ph of the blood, resulting in an increased excretion of electrolytes, water, and other substances in the urine, leading to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and other symptoms of poisoning.
