Term
The descending loop of henle is ___________ to solutes. The outside is __________ so water moves ____ and solutes _______, forming ________ urine.
Definition
impermeable, hypertonic, out, stay in, concentrated.
Term
The ascending loop of henle is _________ to water so we'll _______ solutes and _______ water, forming _______ urine.
Definition
impermeable, lose, retain, diluted
Term
If vasopressin is present, water moves to the ________, forming ________ urine.
Definition
hypertonic outside, concentrated
Term
The primary site of action for inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase is:
Definition
Proximal tubule
Term
Acetazolamide brand name?
Definition
Diamox
Term
Acetazolamide is a:
Definition
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a SULFONAMIDE!
Term
What is the MOA of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor?
Definition
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor will make it so CO2 doesn’t get converted to H2CO3 and eventually H+. Since there’s less H+, less Na+ will be reabsorbed and will be trapped in the tubule, leading to LESS WATER being reabsorbed.
Term
What are the adverse effects of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor?
Definition
Metabolic acidosis, kidney stones, potassium ion loss
Term
What are other uses for a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor?
Definition
Glaucoma, respiratory alkalosis
Term
The primary site of action for osmotic diuretics is:
Definition
proximal tubule, descending loop of henle
Term
What is the brand name of mannitol?
Definition
Osmitrol
Term
What dosage form does mannitol have to be given as?
Definition
IV
Term
Mannitol is a:
Definition
osmotic diuretic
Term
What is an osmotic diuretics MOA?
Definition
Mannitol acts as the solute and stays with water, making water excretion exceed sodium excretion
Term
What are adverse effects of osmotic diuretics?
Definition
Dehydration & hypernatremia (post-diuresis)
Extracellular volume expansion (pre-diuresis)
Term
The primary site of action for inhibitors of Na/K/2Cl symport is:
Definition
ascending loop of henle
Term
Inhibitors of Na/K/2Cl symport are also known as:
Definition
loop diuretics
Term
The brand name of furosemide is:
Definition
Lasix. SULFONAMIDE!
Term
What is the mechanism of a loop diuretic?
Definition
Basically since there’s going to be more Na, Ca, and Mg in the ascending loop, when it reaches the renal medulla it’s not going to be as hypertonic and LESS water will be reabsorbed and more water will be excreted.
Term
Vasopressin only works in the presence of a ______________.
Definition
Hypertonic Medulla
Term
What drug class has the highest efficacy?
Definition
Loop diuretics aka Na/K/2Cl symport inhibitors
Term
Loop diuretics are used usually for treatment of _____ because _____.
Definition
moderate-severe kidney failure bc theyre the only thing that works. Also acute edematous states and hypertensive crisis.
Term
What are the adverse side effects of loop diuretics?
Definition
hypomagnesemia (Mg loss), hypokalemic alkalosis (K and H loss), hyperuricemia (can lead to gout)
Term
The primary site of action for inhibitors of Na/Cl symport is? and is also known as?
Definition
Early distal tubule, thiazide diuretic
Term
Brand name of HCTZ?
Definition
hydrodiuril. SULFONAMIDE!
Term
Thiazide diuretic MOA?
Definition
Decrease Na/Cl symport, decrease osmolarity, decrease vasopressin release, decrease permeability of collecting duct to water, decrease water reabsorption, increase urine volume
Term
Adverse effects of thiazide diuretics?
Definition
K and H loss (hypokalemic alkalosis), uric acid retention (possible gout)
Term
Primary site of action for aldosterone antagonist?
Definition
late distal tubule, collecting duct
Term
Primary site of action for inhibitors of renal Na channels?
Definition
late distal tubule, collecting duct
Term
brand name and kind of drug for spironolactone?
Definition
aldactone, aldosterone antagonist
Term
brand name and kind of drug for amiloride?
Definition
dyrenium and inhibitor of renal na channels
Term
K sparing diuretics moa?
Definition
less na is reabsorbed, so less K will be secreted. less na reabsorbed = more water leaves body
Term
side effects for k sparing diuretics?
Definition
hyperkalemia, acidosis, gynecomastia, impotence, menstrual irregularities
Term
conivapatan?
Definition
vasopressin (ADH) antagonist. collecting duct
Term
where do ADH antagonists work?
Definition
collecting duct
Term
ADH antagonist side effect?
Definition
hypernatremia - bc of loss of water but not loss of sodium so bodily fluids concentrated
