Spironolactone
Definition
Aldosterone receptor antagonist, late distal tubule and collecting duct, binds AR competitively and reduces mRNA for Na absorption and K secretion, indirect inhibition of Na/H exchanger.
-K sparing diuretic, aldosterone dependent
-induces moderate diuresis, incr FE-Na 2%, used in combination with thiazide or loop diuretics to minimize K depletion.
use: combo to spare K, edema CHF/cirrhosis/nephrotic syndrome, primary/secondary aldosteronism, idiopathic hypercalciuria, Li induced polyuria.
tox: hyperkalemia, gender-specific, effects of androgen receptor antagonism by spironolactone.
Term
Determinants of Diuretic Activity
Definition
Activity is dependent on drug conc. at site of action in nephron.
-plasma conc, renal blood flow, GFR, tubular secretion (organic anion & organic cation transporters), tubular fluid conc.
Use of diuretics in pts with renal disease
-renal failure, nephrotic syndrome
