05.20 - Drugs and Renal Fxn (Sweatman) Flashcards
2 peptide-like drugs
beta-lactams, ACEi’s
Though inward conductance is greater than outward, K efflux does not occur b/c
Vm is more positive than EK
What provides driving force for K excretion in DT epithelial cells
Na absorption –> Depolarizes membrane
Tx for hyperkalemia is required if
EKG changes
What mediates reabsorption of peptide-like drugs
Peptide Transporters (PEPT1, PEPT2)
Capacity rate limited
Extraction ratio is limited by the reversible binding of the drug to plasma proteins or its location in RBCs
NSAID use in CKD will cause
Acute reductions in renal bloodflow and GFR
PGI2/PGE2 preserve GFR by antagonizing arteriolar vasoconstrictors and
blunting mesangial and podocyte contraction
Drugs that antagonize ___ increase risk of AKI when NSAID is administered
Drugs that antagonize RAAS
Effect of PG’s on RAAS
Stimulate Renin secretion –> Enhance Na retention and K secretion
Effect of PG’s on ADH
Inhibit cAMP synthesis and oppose ADH –> Water excretion
What provides driving force for reabsorptio of drugs and drug metabolites
Extensive reabsorption of filtered water
Why doesn’t K efflux thru ROMK at physiological intracellular Mg
Intracellular Mg binds ROMK and blocks K efflux
T/F: PGs are a primary regulator of renal function
False, minimal importance in kidney of health individuals with normal volume status
What can be used to remove K+ in patients with renal failure
Dialysis
Low magnesium can exacerbate ___ by ___
K wasting by incr K secretion in DT
Most common cause of drug-induced hypokalemia
Anti-infective agents
Effect of PGI2 and PGE2 in kidney
Vasodilation of interlobular arteries, afferent and efferent arterioles, and glomeruli
Effects of PG’s on LOH and Distal Nephron
(1) Incr renal Na excretion, decr medullary tonicity; (2) Stimulate Renin secretion; (3) Inhibit cAMP and oppose ADH
Acute NSAID toxicity is manifest in terms of
Tubular Epithelial Necrosis secondary to altered renal hemodynamics
