CV-Duretics Flashcards
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors MOA
Carbonic anhydrase is needed for HCO3- reabsorbtion and HCO3 formation
dec in PCT reabsorption leads to inc aff arteriol resistnce, and dec in RBF AND GFR
inc in bicarb sectrion leads to diuresis and K+ resorb
Bicarbonate reabsorption by the PCT is thus dependent on CA, and inhibition of CA thus causes a major loss of HCO3- into the urine.
inhibition of CA results in a major loss of HCO3–, causing metabolic acidosis.
Osmotic diuretics MOA
Osmotic Diuretics: freely filtered but poorly reabsorbed
inc tubular fluid osmotic pressure ↓ tubular fluid reabsorption
*acts mainly in thin lopp hemle, but also in distal tubule
Dec blood viscosity, ECV expansion, inhibition of renin release, all of which lead to INC RENAL BLOOD FLOW, remove NACL from renal medulla, dec medullary tonicity, and dec H20 extraction from the distal tubule.
Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransport (NKCC) inhibitors (loop diuretics) MOA
selectively inhibit NaCl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Due to the large NaCl absorptive capacity of this segment and the fact that the diuretic action of these drugs is not limited by development of acidosis, NKCC inhibitors are among the most efficacious diuretic agents available.
Inhibit Na+-K+-2Cl-
cotransporter (NKCC)
inhibit reabsorption of solute
from TAL segments
Venodilation:↓ right atrial
pressure & pulmonary
capillary wedge pressure
within minutes (IV)
inc fractional Ca2+ excretion by 30% by decreasing the lumen-positive transepithelial potential that promotes paracellular Ca2+ reabsorption
inc fractional Mg2+ excretion > 60% by decreasing voltage-dependent paracellular transport
Thiazides and sulfonamide compounds MOA
inhibit DCT Na+-Cl-
cotransporter (NCC)
block coupled Na+ and Cl-
reabsorption
Inhibit NaCl transport predominantly in the distal
collecting ducts
Some thiazides have significant carbonic anhydrase
inhibitory activity.
Increase Ca2+ reabsorption, thereby decreasing Ca2+
excretion.
Vasodilation: this effect is weaker than that of the NKCC
inhibitors.
Renal epithelial Na+ channel blockers MOA
amiloride blocks epithelial Na+ channels in the luminal membrane of principal cells in the late distal tubule and collecting duct by competing with Na+ for negatively charged areas within the Na+ channel pore and prevention of K+ loss
Aldosterone antagonists MOA
Antagonize aldosterone receptors in the renal collecting tubules
Decrease Na+ reabsorption natriuresis
Decrease loss of K+ in exchange for Na+
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors Clinical use
1.Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the most common indication for CA inhibitors. CA is present in the ciliary body. CA inhibitors decrease aqueous humor production and intraocular pressure.
2.Acute mountain sickness
CA is present in the choroid plexus. By decreasing cerebrospinal fluid formation and by decreasing the pH of the cerebrospinal fluid and brain, CA inhibitors can increase ventilation and diminish symptoms of mountain sickness.
- to induce Urinary alkalization
Uric acid, cystine, and other weak acids are most easily reabsorbed from acidic urine. Therefore, renal excretion of cystine (in cystinuria) and other weak acids can be enhanced by increasing urinary pH with CA inhibitors.
4.Edema: combined with NKCC or NCC inhibitors
Osmotic diuretics clinical use
Prophylaxis of acute renal failure (mannitol)
expand the ECV maintain GFR inc tubular fluid flow prevent tubule obstruction from shed cell constituents or crystals reduce renal edema
Cerebral edema
Osmotic diuretics alter Starling forces so that water leaves cells and reduces intracellular volume. This effect is used to reduce intracranial pressure in neurologic conditions.
Dialysis disequilibrium syndrome
Acute attacks of glaucoma
Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransport (NKCC) inhibitors (loop diuretics) clinical use
Pulmonary edema
Congestive heart failure
Acute renal failure
Hypercalcemia: Saline + loop diuretics
Thiazides and sulfonamide compounds clinical use
1 Hypertension - Less effective in patients with reduced
renal function
- Control of edema: congestive heart failure …
- Hypercalciuria
- Nephrolithiasis
Thiazide diuretics reduce urinary excretion of Ca2+
5.Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus: thiazides
increased renal Na+ reabsorption
recovery of Aquaporin-2 abundance
recovery of NCC, ENaC
thiazides can reduce urine volume by up to 50% in these patients. The mechanism of this paradoxical effect remains unknown.
Renal epithelial Na+ channel blockers Clinical use
used as K+-sparing agents in
hypokalemic alkalosis.
Used in combination with loop
diuretics / thiazides to prevent
hypokalemia caused by these agents
Aldosterone antagonists therapeutic effects..moa..
1.Prevention of LV remodeling and cardiac fibrosis
Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases
Inhibition of protein kinase C
2.Prevention of sudden cardiac death improve heart rate variability reduce QT dispersion reduce early morning rise in heart rate in HF patients prevent severe hypokalemia
3.Hemodynamic effects
blood pressure reduction
modest diuresis and natriuresis
4.Vascular Effects
decrease vascular NAD(P)H oxidase activity
reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species
reverse endothelial dysfunction
increase nitric oxide bioactivity
retard the thrombotic response to injury
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor adverse effects
1.Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (and urinary alk)
results from chronic reduction of body HCO3– stores by CA inhibitors and limits the diuretic efficacy of these drugs to 2 or 3 days. Unlike the diuretic effect, acidosis persists as long as the drug is continued.
- Renal stones
phosphaturia and hypercalciuria occur during the bicarbonaturic response to inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase. calcium salts
3.Renal loss of K+ (aka Renal potassium wasting:)-prevent with simultaneous administration of potassium chloride.
Osmotic diuretics adverse effects
ECV expansion
Risk of pulmonary edema in pts with heart failure
Hyponatremia: nausea, headache, vomiting
Hypernatremia: loss of water in excess of electrolytes, dehydration
Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransport (NKCC) inhibitors (loop diuretics) adverse effects
- Hyponatremia
hypotension, reduced GFR, circulatory collapse, thromboembolic episodes, and in patients with liver disease, hepatic encephalopathy.
2.Hypokalemia
cardiac arrhythmias, particularly in patients taking cardiac glycosides, if dietary K is low.
- Hypocalcemia/hypomagnesia
Increased Mg2+ and Ca2+ excretion may result in hypomagnesemia (a risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias) and hypocalcemia (rarely leading to tetany). - Ototoxicity
