antihypertensives Flashcards
hypertension systolic and diastolic
> 130/80
six types of diuretics
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors loop thiazides potassium sparing vaptans osmotic
acetazolamide is a
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors MOA
inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in PCT leads to Na and HCO3 diuresis
indications for carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
acute glaucoma
altitude sickness
metabolic alkalosis
alkalinizes urine
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors adverse effects
sulfa allergies
hypokalemia
kidney stones
metabolic acidosis due to HCO3 loss
thiazides MOA
blocks NaCl cotransporter in distal tubule leading to increased sodium and water excretion
thiazides adverse effects
increase glucose, lipids, calcium, uric acid
hypOnatremia, hypokalemia
sulfa allergies
thiazide indications
HTN
peripheral edema
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
furosemide is a
loop diuretic
loop diuretics MOA
inhibit NKCC2 symporter on TAL of LOH leading to dilute urine
(no reabsorption of Na, K Cl)
loop diuretics adverse effects
decreased electrolytes
ototoxicity
hypotension
sulfa allergy
loop diuretics indication
HTN
edema
hypercalcemia
hypermagnesemia
can be used for hypercalcemia
loop diuretics reduce reabsorption
K sparing agents MOA
aldosterone receptor antagonist in collecting duct increases Na and water excretion while concerning K and H
aldosterone antagonist K sparing diuretics indications
weak alone, use with thiazide/loop
hypokalemia primary hyperaldosteronism HTN edema/ascites CHF
Aldosterone antagonist K sparing diuretics adverse effects
hyperkalemia
gynecomastia
ED
Metabolic acidosis
ENaC K sparing diuretics adverse effects
kidney stones
hyperkalemia
metabolic acidosis
ENaC K sparing diuretics MOA
directly inhibit epithelial Na channel in collecting duct to increase NaCl and water loss
ENaC K sparing diuretics indications
HTN
CHF
ENaC blockers
triamterene
amiloride
vasopressin antagonists
tolvaptan
conivaptan
vasopressin antagonists’ MOA
block vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2) to prevent aquaporin insertion and decrease water reabsorption
Vasopressin antagonists’ adverse effects
hepatotoxicity
hypernatremia
thirst
(it is not really used)
vasopressin antagonists indication
hyponatremia (but they correct this too quickly)
mannitol is a(n)
osmotic agent
osmotic agents MOA
mannitol is a non-metabolized sugar which increases osmotic pressure of glomerular filtrate
draws more water into tubule to decrease reabsorption and increase diuresis
mannitol indications
elevated intracranial or intra-ocular pressure
urogenital irrigation
(not as an antiHTN)
mannitol adverse effects
hypotension
hypovolemia
pulmonary edema
vesicant >5% concentration
CCBs general MOA
bind to and block L-type calcium channels in smooth muscle cells leading to vasodilation and a drop in BP
DHP rx
amlodipine
nifedipine
nicardipine
clevidipine
DHPs primarily act on
vascular smooth muscles
amlodipine: arteries
