Class 12 Deck 1 Flashcards
What are the 4 uses for thiazide diuretics?
- HTN
- Edema
- Diabetes incipidus
- hypercalcemia
How does thiazides help HTN?
- Diuresis, naturesis
- Vasodilate
- Allows for a decrease in other more potent anti-hypertensives, decreasing side effects
What is the MOA of thiazides? and where does it work?
- Inhibit reabsorption of Na and Cl
- CORTICAL Ascending loop
Thiazides increase urinary excretion of what?
- Na
- Cl
- Bicarb
- K
What is the INITIAL anti-hypertensive effect of thiazides?
- Decrease extracellular volume
- Decrease CO
What is the SUSTAINED anti-hypertensive effect of thiazides?
- peripheral vasodilation
- Takes weeks to develop
What are the electrolyte side effects of thiazides?
- hypokalemia, hypochloemic metabolic alkalosis
- Hyperglycemia
- Hyperurecemia
What is the cardiac side effect of thiazides?
-Dysrhythmias due to hypokalemia and hypomag
What are the other side-effects of thiazide induced hypokalemia?
- Muscle weakness
- Ileus
- Nephropathy
- Dig toxicity
- potentiation of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants
When would you suspect decreased intravascular fluid volume?
- Othostatic hypotension
- Hemoconcentration (↑ crit and BUN)
- Decreased filing pressures
What causes the decrease in renal and hepatic function with thiazides?
-Decreases in blood flow to these organs
What is the MOA of loop and where does it work?
- Inhibit reabsorption of Na and Cl
- MEDULLARY Ascending loop
What is the onset of action with Lasix or ethacrynic acid?
-2-10 minutes IV
How is lasix related to GFR?
-Higher the GFR, greater the effect of lasix
Furosemide-induced increases in RBF are inhibited by what?
NSAIDS
Furosemide induced production of _______ results in renal ___________ and ________ RBF
- Prostaglandins
- vasodilation
- Increased
Ethacrynic Acid information?
- Higher GI reactions w/ PO
- Protein bound
- Excreted by kidneys
Furosemide information?
- 90% protein bound to albumin
- Elimination half life is <1hr (short duration of action)
Loop clinical uses?
- Edema
- ICP
- Inhibit calcium uptake for hypercalcemia
- Diagnosis of oliguria
When are loops non-effective?
- HTN
- Will not accelerate elimination of other drugs
- No increase in GFR or tubbular secretion
With loops, what precedes diuresis?
-vasodilation (may drop BP)
