| carbonic anhydrase i. |
any of a class of agents that inhibit activity of carbonic anhydrase (carbonate dehydratase). In the kidney this decreases hydrogen ion concentration in the renal tubule, resulting in increased excretion of bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, and water; in the eye it depresses production of aqueous humor and lowers intraocular pressure. These were originally used as diuretics but were replaced by other agents because their diuretic effect is self-limiting; now they are used chiefly for treatment of glaucoma, and sometimes for epilepsy, familial periodic paralysis, acute mountain sickness, and uric acid calculi.
