MOA of furosemide

A

Inhibit Na/K/2Cl transporter in thick ascending limb of loop of Henle. Cause powerful diuresis and increased Ca excretion.

A

Constipation, Pretibial edema, Gingival hyperplasia (VERAPAMIL, NIFEDIPINE)

18
Q

class of CCB used for arrhythmia

A

Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker

19
Q

ACEI dilates which arteriole in the kidneys

A

dilate Efferent arterioles.

20
Q

loop diuretic that is not a sulfurderivative, and therefore, can be given to Px with sulfur allergy

A

Ethacrynic acid

21
Q

DRUGS USED IN HTN

A
22
Q

Why do patients taking angiotensin antagonists (ACEis/ARBs) develop hyperkalemia?

A

ACE-Is/ARBs reduce aldosterone levels and cause potassium retention

23
Q

NON SELECTIVE BETA BLOCKERS

A

PROPRANOLOL, PINDOLOL [B], TIMOLOL [C], LABETALOL [C], CARVEDILOL, [C, D in 2 nd & 3 rd trim] NADOLOL [C], LEVOBUNOLOL [C], METIPRANOLOL [C], BETAXOLOL [C], BISOPROLOL [C], NEBIVOLOL

24
Q

Dopamine agonist (D 1 receptor)

A

FENOLDOPAM

*Causes arteriolar vasodilation of the afferent and efferent arterioles. Increases renal blood flow.

D-ehydration

A-llergy to sulfa

N-ephritis

G-out

26
Q

TOXICITIES OF THIAZIDES

A

27
Q

Most common SE of ACEI

A

28
Q

Renin antagonist

A

ALISKIREN

29
Q

accelerated form of severe hypertension associated with rising blood pressure and rapidly progressing end-organ damage

A

Malignant Hypertension

Tx: powerful vasodilators (nitroprusside, fenoldopam, or diazoxide) combined with diuretics (furosemide) and beta-blockers to lower BP to 140–160/90–110

30
Q

has combined a and b blockade (may be used in pheochromocytoma)

A

Carvedilol and Labetalol

31
Q

Why are patients with diabetic nephropathy treated with ACEinhibitors?

A

ACE inhibitors decrease albumin excretion and slow progression from micro- to macroalbuminuria (renoprotective effect)

32
Q

A

Phenoxybenzamine, Phentolamine or Labetalol

33
Q

examples of GANGLION BLOCKERS

A

HEXAMETHONIUM, TRIMETHAPHAN [D], MECAMYLAMINE [C]

MOA: Competitively blocks Nn nicotinic ACh receptors

34
Q

increased PR-interval

A

HypoCalcemia

35
Q

37
Q

decreased PR-interval

A

HyperCalcemia

38
Q
