Cards

Term

Acetazolamide

MOA, site of action, use, adverse effects

Definition
MOA: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
site: proximal tubule
Use: glaucoma and altitude sickness (respiratory alkalosis)
Adverse: kidney stones, metabolic acidosis
Term

Spironolactone

MOA, site of action, use, adverse effects
Definition
MOA: aldosterone antagonist (k+ sparer)
Site: late distal tubule and collecting duct
use: offset K+ wasting of other diuretics, hyperaldosteronism
Adverse: hyperkalemia, gynecolmastia, impotence
*not a sulfonamide
Term

hydrochlorothiazide

MOA, site of action, use, adverse effects
Definition
MOA: inhibit Na+ Cl- symport
site: in early distal tubule
use: chronic HTN, edema, kidney stones b/c inc Ca+ reabsorption* furosemide is more efficacous for edema)
adverse: (same as loops but to a lesser extent) K+ and H+ loss, uric acid retention
Term

furosemide

MOA, site of action, use, adverse effects
Definition
MOA: loop diuretic inhibits Na+, K+,2Cl- symport
site: ascending loop of Henle
use: acute edema, pulmonary edema, HTN chrisis (too efficacous for chronic HTN)
 
Adverse: Same as thiazides but to a higher extent) K+ and H+ loss, hypokalemia, uric acid retention
Term

Amiloride

MOA, site of action, use, adverse effects

Definition
MOA: Na+ channel blocker (k+ sparer)
Site: late distal tubule and collecting duct
use: offset K+ wasting of other diuretics
Adverse: 
*not a sulfonamide
Term
drugs that dont cause gout
Definition

K+ sparring and ACE-I/ARB

(Aldosterone antagonist and Na+ channel blockers)

 

Triamterene, Spironolactone, Amiloride

Term
good drug for a patient with severe hypercalcemia
Definition
loop diuretics- furosemide because they cause Mg+2 and Ca+2 loss
Term
how do loop diuretics cause hypokalcemia (K+)?
Definition
they increase the amount of sodium (Na+) that reaches the collecting duct
Term
which drug class will most likely cause severe hypokalemia?
Definition
loop diuretics- furosemide because they have the most efficacous effects and because there are few options down stream to reabsorb K+ after the ascending loop of Henle
Term

Enalapril

MOA, site of action, use, adverse

 

Definition
MOA: ACE-I
Site: everywhere in the vascular system
use: HTN
adverse: hypotension, hyperkalemia, fetal defects, dry cough/angioedema (due to increased bradykinin)
Term

Losartan

MOA, site of action, use, adverse

Definition

MOA: competative antagoinism ARB/ AT1 receptor  blocker 

Site: 

use: HTN

adverse: hypotension, hyperkalemia, fetal defects, *NO dry cough/angioedema

Term

Captopril

Definition

Captopril causes skin rash more frequently than Enalapril

 

Captopril can also leave a bad taste in your mouth

 

Captopril is the only ACE-I that has a sulfur 

Term
medications not to take in combination due to increased Hyperkalemia risk
Definition
ACE/ARB with K+ sparers (aldosterone antagonists and Na+ channel blockers)
Term
drugs to avoid during pregnancy
Definition

ACE and ARB's (AT1) in 2nd and 3rd trimesters

 

are there others?

Term
chlorthalidone
Definition
MOA: thiazide- inhibits Na+ Cl-symport
site: early distal tubule
very similar to HCTZ
Term
what drug class will most likely cause an increase in serum calcium concentrations?
Definition
Thiazides such as HCTZ and chlorthalidone becasue they are used for kidney stones and will increase Ca+ reabsorption
Term
what would the most appropriate drug be for a patient that has HTN due to adrenal hyperplasia/ very high aldosterone levels?
Definition
Spironolactone- an aldosterone antagonist
Term
what class of drugs has the side effect of ototoxicity?
Definition
loop diuretics- furosemide
Term
BOB the bear thought eye drops were too wimpy to use for his glaucoma so he took acetazolamide by mouth instead and now has kidney stones.  what can he take to reduce the size of the kidney stones?
Definition
a thiazide such as HCTZ
Term
what drug classes should you check if the patient is taking a potassium supplement?
Definition
ACE, ARB/AT1, K+ sparers
Term
ACE / ARB protective effects:
Definition

they inhibit cardiac remodeling, and dont elevate cholesterol levels, and dont lower potassium levels

 

also have kidney protective effects in diabetics

Term
bradykinin antagonist would have what effect?
Definition
prevent angioedema and cough while on enalapril
Term
mannitol
Definition

MOA: osmotic diuretic

site proximal tubule and descending loop

use: edema, Ca+ homeostasis

Term

what will a decrese in blood pressure do to renin levels?

Definition

renin will increase to increase Na+ retention and vasoconstriction

 

Result: atrial blood pressure will increase

Term
rate limiting step in the renin-angiotension system is________
Definition

renin production in the kidney is the rate limiting step

Term

renin regulation (3 ways)

Definition

1 macula densa signal (decreased Na, K, 2Cl entering will increase renin release

 

2  decreased tension in affarent arterioles will increase cAMP and renin

 

3 decrease BP/ baroreceptor activity will increase cAMP and renin release

Term

AT1 binding to Angiotensin II receptor causes(MOA):

Definition

G-protein mediated influx of Ca++ which stimulates calmodulin to cause vasoconstriction

 

-(AT1 receptor blockers would prevent this action)
