24
Q
..% of primary urine is reabsorbed
A
99
25
reabsorption of electrolytes is active process, occurring
against concentration gradient, ATP energy is consumed
26
participating enzymes in production of urine
-carbonic anhydrase
-succinate dehydrogenase
27
with enhancement of blood supply in kidneys, amount of primary urine
increases
28
diuretics substances that
promote production of urine
29
diuretics enhance ....and reduce...
enhance secretion of electrolytes and reduce amount of extracellular fluid
30
diuretics alleviating oedema. oedema typically occurs as
result of retention of sodium in organism and increase in accumulation of extracellular fluid
31
objective of administration of diuretics - to increase excretion
of water from organism
32
most diuretics exert their effects by
inhibiting specific enzymes, transport proteins, hormone receptors or ion channels that mediate reabsorption of sodium in kidney tubules
33
diuretics also impact excretion of
other ions and renal hemodynamics
34
diuretics primary indications: swelling that is caused by
-heart failure
-liver failure
-kidney failure
> different indications for different diuretics
35
.... caused by diuretics may occur
hypovolemia
36
mechanism of swelling
-plasma colloid osmotic pressure is reduced
-intravascular volume depletion occurs and fluid flows to interstitial compartment
-blood plasma volume is lowered > reabsorption of water and salts increases in kidneys
-increased reabsorption of fluid increases plasma volume and plasma hydrostatic pressure, outflow of fluid from capillaries increases and swelling occurs
37
swelling in case of heart failure
-congestive heart failure reduces outflow of blood from heart> reduces blood supply of kidneys > activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system> followed by reabsorption of salts and water in kidneys
-increase in central venous pressure causes increase in hydrostatic pressure in capillaries > fluid penetrates capillary walls > swelling occurs
38
classification of diuretics (9)
-water and osmotic diuretics
-salts that form acidic solutions

-pure urea
-mannitol
-sodium chloride
-sodium bicarbonate
40
osmotic diuretics
osmotic pressure of blood plasma increases > extracellular fluid and sodium flow into blood > excreted via kidneys
-strong tissue dehydration effect

diuretics contraindicated in case of
ongoing cranial hemorrhage, anuric renal failure, severe dehydration, pulmonary edema, heart failure
45
salts that form acidic solutions
-ammonium chloride
-ammonium nitrate
-salt is dissociated into NaCl and ammonia > diuretic effect is based upon releasing Cl ion, which binds to Na from extracellular fluid > forming NaCl > which in turn causes osmotic diuresis. Na and K are excreted
-acidosis occurs as side effect
46
salts that form acidic solutions are contraindicated in case of
kidney failure and liver failure
47
salts that form acidic solutions can be used to
dissolve certain types of bladder stones

heart failure in patients already receiving ACE inhibitors , digoxin, or both
66
torasemide-loop diuretics-treatment of clinical signs, including
oedema and effusion, related to congestive heart failure
67
bumetanide (loop diuretic) is indicated for treatment of
edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of liver and renal disease including nephrotic syndrome (group of symptoms that include protein in urine, low blood protein levels, high triglyceride levels , and swelling)
68
renal epithelial sodium channel blockers
-triamterene
-relatively weak-acting diuretic, to certain extent potassium-sparing, used in combination with thiazide diuretics or loop diuretics (generally not commonly used)
inhibit reabsorption of sodium
-side effects are increase in risk of hyperkalemia and kidney dysfunction
69
thiazide diuretics
-chlorothiazide
-hydrochlorothiazide
-they increase excretion of sodium and potassium from organism
-have been used to treat swelling with different root causes
-part of treatment scheme in treatment of nephrogenic diabetes insipid > diuretic-induced volume contraction leads to increased proximal tubule reabsorption and decrease in urine volume
70
thiazide diuretics side effects are
hypokalemia, hyponatraemia, hypochloraemia, simultaneously hypercalcemia > several substances from sulfonamide class of drugs, effect is diuretic, also used in human medicine to treat hypertension
71

79
telmisartan (semintra) for reduction of proteinuria resulting
from chronic kidney disease in cats
80
telmisartan is orally active and specific angiotensin 2 receptor (AT1 type) antagonist, which causes
decrease in mean arterial blood pressure, depending upon dosage, in mammal species, including cats
81
telmisartan clinical study of cats with kidney disease found
reduction in proteinuria within first 7 days from start of therapy
82
telmisartan forces out angiotensin 2 from its
binding site with AT 1 receptor subtype
83
telmisartan selectively binds AT 1 receptor and does not
show affinity to other receptors, including AT 2 receptor and other less characterized AT receptors
84
AT1 reveptor stimulation causes pathological effects of
angiotensin 2 on kidneys and other organs that are linked to angiotensin 2 > example vasoconstriction, sodium and water retention, increase in synthesis of aldosterone and changes in organ shape
85
telmisartan effects of AT2 receptor stimulation, including vasodilation, natriuresis and inhibition of undesired cell growth
are not suppressed
86
telmisartan binding receptors of long-term duration due to
slow dissociation of telmisartan from AT1 receptor binding site
87
telmisartan ''''' partial agonist activity on AT1 receptor type
DOES NOT HAVE
88
combinations of active substances : benazepril + spironolactone (Cardalis) treatment of
congestive heart failure caused by chronic degenerative valvular disease in dogs ( with diuretic support, as appropriate)
89
spironlactone inhibits
aldosterone-induced sodium retention in kidneys > leading to increase in sodium and subsequently water excretion and potassium retention
-accompanying reduction in extracellular volume reduces cardiac preload and left ventricle pressure
90
benazepril hydrochloride is
prodrug that is hydrolyzed in vivo into active metabolite benazeprilat
91
benazeprilat is potent and selective
angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, preventing inactive angiotensin 1 from being converted into active angiotensin 2
92
benazeprilat mediated actions of angiotensin 2 are
blocked > including constriction of arteries and veins and retention of sodium and water by kidneys
