A patient with essential hypertension is prescribed a medication that inhibits the Na+/Cl- cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule. Which of the following adverse effects is most likely associated with this drug?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Thiazide diuretics inhibit the Na+/Cl- cotransporter in the DCT, leading to increased calcium reabsorption in the tubule. This results in decreased urinary calcium excretion and can cause hypercalcemia.
