Cards

Term
Osmotic diuretic
Used in shock, and drug overdose. Used to lower the intracranial pressure.
Definition
Mannitol

Will increase serum osmolarity, and will get hypernatremia because losing free water
Term
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Used to help with altitude sickness
Definition
Acetazolamide

During altitude sickness, you get respiratory alkalosis with too much HCO3. Inhibiting CA will decrease HCO3 creation
Term
Can alkinate the urine
Definition
Acetazolamide
Term
Blocks the NKCC transport in the thick ascending loop of henle
Definition
Loops diuretics:
Furosemide
Torsemide
Bumetanide

Mainly used in edematous states like CHF, cirrhosis. Used to getting rid of a lot of water fast.

Toxicity ("OH DANG")
Ototoxicity
Nephrotoxicity

Contraindicated in patients with sulfa allergy.
Durgs increase calcium excretion because loops lose calcium
Term
Inhibits NCC in distal convoluted tubule
Definition
Thiazides:
Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ

First line treatment for essential hypertension

Reduces diluting capacity of the nephron

Does not lose calcium. results in more calcium in the serum, decreased calcium in the urine

Hyper-GLUC:
Hyper glycemia
hyper lipidemia
hyper uricemia
hyper calcemia
Term
Loop diuretic that is not a sulfa drug
Definition
Ethacrynic acid

Causes hyperuricemia, and causes acute gout
Term
Potassium sparing diurectics
Definition
Spironolactone
Eplerenone

Don't antagonize aldosterone but block the Na channels in the CCT:
Triamterene
Amiloride

Toxicity:
Hyperkalemia
Endocrine affects with aoldosterone antagonists. Spironolactone can cause gynecomastia, antiandrogen effects
Eplerenone does not have anti-androgen effects
Term
SIADH treatment
Definition
demeclocycline

ADh antagonist

Toxicity:
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Term
Diabetes insipidus treatment
Central and Nephrogenic
Definition
Central: intranasal vasopressin

Nephrogenic: hydrochlorothiazide, indomethacin, amiloride
