Term
Acetazolamide (Diamox) - mechanism only
Definition
PCT diuretic; Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor; HCO3- loss in urine; urine is alkaline; increase excretion of NaCl and H2O.
Term
Acetazolamide (Diamox) - Tx
Definition
Glaucoma, cysteinuria (increased solubility in alkaline urine), seizures (decreases pH of blood), occasionally liver cirrhosis & renal failure
Term
Acetazolamide (Diamox) - Side Fx
Definition
metabolic acidosis, hyperchloremia, drowsiness, increased sensitivity to thiazides
Term
Mannitol - mechanism
Definition
Osmotic diuretic - 10x increase in urine flow; primary site of action is PCT; Prevents H2O from leaving the tubule which results in backflow of cations and more H2O; Inert
Term
Mannitol - Tx / Side FX
Definition
prophy for ARF with low GFR (i.e trauma, shock); Side FX include volume overload & possible heart failure
Term
Loop Diuretics - mechanism
Definition
inhibit Na-K-2Cl symport; increase renin; maintain GFR; causes increased diuresis with NaCl losses; venodilators;
Term
Loop Diuretics - Tx / Side FX
Definition
Tx - edema, hypercalcemia, washout toxins, prophylaxis for renal failure, HTN in combo; Side Fx - increase BUN, hypokalemia, alkalosis, ototoxicity, drug interactions
Term
Furosemide (Lasix)
Definition
Loop diuretic; inhibits NaCl resorption; high safety margin; interacts with Warfarin
Term
Bumentanide (Bumex)
Definition
Loop Diuretic; 40x more potent than furosemide; no Warfarin interaction
Term
Torsemide (Demadex)
Definition
Loop diuretic with long half-life; Once daily dosing
Term
Thiazide diuretics - mechanism
Definition
DCT diuretics; Na/Cl symport inhibition in Na-K- Aldo independent segment, cause natriuresis and diuresis along with other fx. Decrease Ca2+ in urine
Term
Thiazide diuretics - short term fx
Definition
diuresis, hypokalemia, decrease CO and BP
Term
Thiazide diuretics - long term fx
Definition
decrease hypervolemia and direct vasodilation
Term
Thiazide diuretics - side fx
Definition
hyperuricemia (gout risk), hypercholesterolemia, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, hypo-Mg, other in slide deck
Term
Hydrocholorthiazide (Esidrex)
Definition
Class 1 Thiazide diuretic (use when GFR>40ml/min) short acting; tx HTN, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Term
Chlorthialidone (Hygroton)
Definition
Class 1 Thiazide diuretic (use when GFR >40ml/min) long acting
Term
Quintethazone
Definition
Class 1 (use when GFR > 40ml/min)
Term
Metolazone
Definition
Class II (used when GFR 20-40ml/min); increased potency, tx HTN even with renal insufficiency
Term
Indapamide
Definition
Class II (used when GRF 20-40ml/min);highly potent; tx HTN, and has direct vasodilatory fx
Term
K-sparing diuretics
Definition
inhibit Na resorption in DCT. Used with HCTZ to normalize K+
Term
Spironolactone (Aldactone)
Definition
K+ sparing diuretic; aldosterone antagonist, competitive inhibitor
Term
Eplenerone (Inspra)
Definition
K+ sparing diuretic; aldosterone antagonist
Term
Amiloride (Midamor) & Triamterene (Dyrenium)
Definition
K+ sparing diuretic; used with HCTZ; Side fx include hypekalemia and anemia
Term
ADH (8-Arg Vasopressin)
Definition
acts on 2 receptors- V1- vasopressor (via IP3 and Ca2+release) , V2 - activates aquaporin to increase H2O readsorption
Term
Desmopressin (DDAVP)
Definition
Anti-diuretic; V2 receptor agonist, tx central diabetes insipidus and bleeding
Term
Demeclocyline (Declocylcin)
Definition
Anti-ADH, pro-diuretic; use with OPC-31260; antagonize ADH at V2 receptors; Tx Sydrome of inappropriate ADH Secretion
Term
How to manage diuertic induced metabolic alkalosis (a) in patients w/o heart failure and (b) in patients w/ heart failure
Definition
(a) K+ replacement and restoration of volume with NS. (b) NS is contraindicated in these patients, tx with actezolamide
Term
Serious toxicity of diuretic use in cardiac patients and how to manage
Definition
Hypokalemia; manage by reducing Na+ intake to decrease Na+ delivery to the K+ secreting collecting tubule; non compliant patients must take oral KCl or a K+ sparing diuretic
