Aquaretics Flashcards
aquaretic definition
agents affecting the renal conservation of water
aquaretic site of action
collecting ducts
ADH/AVP site of synthesis
paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of hypothalamus
ADH/AVP stimuli
increase plasma osmolarity >280mOsm/kg decrease ECF pain nausea hypoxia
V1R location
vascular smooth muscle
V1R binding effect
vasoconstriction
V1R mechanism
Gq–>PKC–>IP3 pathway releases Ca2+
V2R location
principal cells of renal CD
V2R binding effect
increase CD permeability to H2O & urea (concentrates urine)
V2R mechanism
Gs–>cAMP–>PKA, which:
- moves aquaporin vesicles to apical membrane
- phosphorylates aquaporin-2
- phosphorylates VRUT (UT1)
aquaporin-1 location
proximal tubule & thin descending limb
aquaporin-2 location
collecting duct
central DI mechanism
inadequate ADH secretion
ADH-sensitive DI
nephrogenic DI mechanism
insufficient response to ADH in kidney
ADH-insensitive DI
central DI etiology
head injury, surgery, or trauma in the pituitary/hypothalamus
tumors
CNS ischemia
AD (chromosome 20) gradual loss of ADH
nephrogenic DI etiology
acquired: obstructive renal disease
drug-induced: lithium, clozapine
genetic: X-linked mutation in V2R
DI mechanism
impaired water reabsorption
AKA too much water excretion
DI symptoms
polyuria
polydipsia
polyuria
excrete large volumes of dilute urine
