Q

What is ethacrynic acid?

A

A loop diuretic with the same action as furosemide, but derived from phenoxyacetic acid (so not a sulfonamide). It’s used for diuresis in patients allergic to sulfa drugs.

Q

What are the toxicities of ethacrynic acid?

Q

Where do thiazides work?

A

early distal tubule

17
Q

What effect do thiazides have on Ca2+?

A

↓ Ca2+ excretion

18
Q

What are the toxicities of hydrochlorothiazide?

A
  1. Hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
  2. hyponatremia
  3. hyperGlycemia
  4. hyperLipidemia
  5. hyperUricemia
  6. hyperCalcemia
  7. Sulfa alergy

HyperGLUC

19
Q

What are the K+ sparing diuretics?

A
  1. Spironolactone
  2. Eplerenone
  3. Triamterene
  4. Amiloride
20
Q

Which drugs are competitive aldosterone receptor antagonists in the cortical collecting tubule?

A
  1. Spironolactone

2. Eplerenone

21
Q

Which drugs block Na+ channels in the CCT?

A
  1. Triamterene

2. Amiloride

22
Q

What is the clinical use of K+ sparing diuretics?

A
  1. Hyperaldosteronism
  2. K+ depletion
  3. CHF
23
Q

What are the toxicities of K+ sparing diuretics?

A
  1. Hyperkalemia (can → arrhythmias)

2. Endocrine effects (spironolactone → gynecomastia, antiandrogen effects)

24
Q

Which diuretics increase urine K+?

A

loop and thiazides

25
Q

Which diuretics increase urine NaCl?

A

All except acetazolamide

26
Q

Which diuretics cause acidemia?

A
  1. CA inhibitors (↓ bicarb reabsorption)

2. K+ sparing (aldosterone blockade prevents K+ secretion and H+ secretion; also, ↑ K+ → exchange for H+ exiting cells)

27
Q

Which diuretics cause alkalemia?

A
  1. loop diuretics

2. thiazides

28
Q

What are the 3 mechanisms by which loop and thiazide diuretics can cause alkalemia?

A
  1. contraction alkalosis
  2. K+ loss from body → loss from cells in exchange for H+ uptake
  3. K+ loss from body → H+ is exchanged rather than K+ for Na+ in CCT → alkalosis and “paradoxical aciduria”
29
Q

Which diuretics cause increased urine Ca2+?

A

loop diuretics (↓ paracellular Ca2+ reabsorption → hypocalcemia)

30
Q

Which diuretics cause ↓ urine Ca2+?

A

thiazides (enhanced paracellular Ca2+ reabsorption in distal tubule)

31
Q

Name 3 ACE inhibitors:

A
  1. Captopril
  2. Enalopril
  3. Lisinopril
32
Q

What is the mechanism of action of ACE inhibitors?

A

Inhibit ACE → ↓ angiotensin II → ↓ GFR by preventing constriction of efferent arterioles

33
Q

What are the clinical uses of ACE inhibitors?

A
  1. HTN
  2. CHF
  3. proteinuria
  4. diabetic nephropathy
  5. prevent unfavorable heart remodeling as a result of chronic HTN
34
Q

What are the toxicities of ACE inhibitors?

A
  1. Cough
  2. Angioedema (contraindicated in C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency)
  3. Teratogen (fetal renal malformations)
  4. ↑ Creatinine (↓ GFR)
  5. Hyperkalemia
  6. Hypotension
  7. Renal failure if used in bilateral renal artery stenosis (↓ GFR)
