Cards

Term
Diuretics 4 types
Definition
thiazides
loop diuretics
potassium-sparing
osmotic agents
Term
Thiazide and related diuretics
Definition
indapamide/Lozol
hydrochlorothiazine/Esidrix, HydroDiuril
metolazone/Zaroxolyn
Term
thiazide diuretic uses
Definition
edema, many causes
uncomplicated hypertension, bp lowered y decreasing peripheral vascular resistance
prophylaxis of calculus
electrolyte imbalance
Term
thiazide side effects
Definition
hypokalemia
muscle weakness or spasm
postural hypotenhsion
hyperglycemia, increased uric acid
Term
thiazide contraindications
Definition
diabetes
gout
renal, hepatic
prolonged use
older
sulfonamide hypersens.
Term
thiazide interactions
Definition
nsaids, renal
corticosteroids, potassium loss
lithium
hypotensive agents
digitalis
probenecid blocks uric acid reten
antidiabetic agents
Term
loop diuretics
Definition
inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption on the loop of Henle
stronger and quicker than thiazides
Term
loop diuretic uses
Definition
edema assoc impaired renal function or hepatic dis
CHF
pulmonary edema
ascites caused by malig or cirrhosis
hypertension
Term
loop diuretic side effects
Definition
fluid and electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, circulatory collapse, chest pain
Term
loop diuretic contraindications
Definition
cirrhosis, liver, kidney
alkalosis, dehydraion
digitalis
allergic to sulfa\
diabetes, gout
preg, lac
children
Term
Torsemide/Demadex
Definition
must be given with potassium sp0aring agent to prevent hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis esp cirrhosis
Term
loop diuretic interactions
Definition
similar to thiazides
corticosteroids
lithium
hypotensive agents, potentiation
probenecid, decrease diuretic effects
digitalis
aminoglycosides = deafness
indomethacin, decreases diuretic effect
salicylates with furosemide increases salicylate toxicity
anticonvulsants (phenytoin) reduces diuretic effect of furosemide
Term
loop diuretic names
Definition
furosemide/Lasix
bumetanide/Bumex
torsemide/Demadex
Term
potassium-sparing diuretics
Definition
usually combined with thiazide
counteract increased glucose and uric acid levels assoc with thiazines
Term
potassium-sparing diuretic side effects
Definition
usually mild
hyperkalemia can lead to cardiac arrhythmias
fatigue, lethargy, profound weight loss
hypotension
Term
Uricosuric agents
Definition
block reabsorption and promote urinary excretion of uric acid in kidneys
chronic
gouty arthrities
not acute, not analgesic, can be given with colchicine which is antiinflamm
probenecid
Term
potassium-sparing diuretic cautions/interactions
Definition
renal, liver, cirrhoisis
preg/lac
potassium supplements, ACE inhibitors ARB-angiotensin receptor blockers, salicylates, nsaids, lithium
Term
osmotic agents
Definition
mannitol and urea
reduce intraocular or intracranial pressure
Term
mannitol
Definition
osmotic diuretic prevent and treat acute renal failure during CV surgery
used to promote excretions of toxins in drug poisoning
Term
osmotic diuretic side effects
Definition
fluid and electrolyte imbalance
CNS symptoms, HA, vertigo, confusion, NV
tachycardia, hypertension, hypotension
severe pulmonary edema
Term
osmotic diuretic extreme caution
Definition
kidney failure
heart failure
active intracranial bleeding
pulmonary edema
preg/lac
Term
spironolactone/Aldactone
Definition
potassium sparing diuretic
Term
triamterent/Dyrenium
Definition
potassium sparing diuretic
Term

triam and hctz/Dyazine, Maxide
Term
gout
Definition
form of arthritiss uric acid crystals are deposited in and around joints usu knee foot
Term
probenecid side effects
Definition
kidney stones, renal colic if not flushed with large volume of fluids
Term
probenecid contraindications/interact
Definition
hx uric acid kidney stones
hx peptic ulcer
renal impairment, blood dyscrasias
inter: penicillins and cephalosproins, potentiated
oral hypoglycemics, poten
salicylates
nsaids
Term
