Q

How does mannitol act as a diuretic?

A

it will go throughout the body attracting water independent of sodium resulting in increased urine volume

Q

Uses for mannitol?

A

inc. fluid drainage therefore dec. IOP in closed angle glaucoma

dec ICP draws water from brain

In oliguric states (e.g rhabdomyolysis) it enhances myoglobin elimination

Q

What are the uses for CAIs?

A

glaucoma
acute mountain sickness
metabolic alkalosis

21
Q

What are some side effects of CAIs?

A

bicarbonaturia and acidosis
hypokalemia
hyperchloremia
paresthesias
renal stones
sulfonamide hypersensitivity

non anion gap metabolic acidosis

22
Q

Why do you get hyperchloremia with use of CAIs?

A

because you have competing anions in the urine

both bicarb and Cl- are in urine and Cl- easier to reabsorb so nephron will try to reabsorb it.

23
Q

What stem can help you remember the drugs considered loops?

A

“semide”

24
Q

What drugs did we discuss are important loops to remember?

A

furosemide
torsemide
ethacrynic acid

25
Q

Sulfonamide containing drugs have cross allergenicity with what other drugs?

A

CAIs

All loop diuretics (except ethacrynic acid)

thiazides

sulfa antibiotics

celecoxib

26
Q

MOA of loop diuretics.

A

Na+/K+/2Cl- transporter inhibition

27
Q

What ion in the triple transporter blocked by loops is responsible for the potential which helps Mg2+ and Ca2+ to be reabsorbed?

A

K+

28
Q

Loops lose ?

A

Ca2+

29
Q

Which of the diuretics is the most powerful?

A

loops

“semi” stem semi truck (is big)

30
Q

Uses for loop diuretics?

A

hypertension (although thiazides are used here more commonly)
refractory edema
hypercalcemia (bisphosphonates more often used)

31
Q

What are some side effects of the use of loops?

A
  • sulfonamide hypersensitivity (not ethacrynic acid)
  • hypokalemia and alkalosis
  • hypocalcemia
  • hypomagnesemia
  • hyperuricemia (actively secreted by OAT)
  • ototoxicity (may say feels fullness in ears or ringing in ears called tinnitus) (this effect more seen in ethacrynic acid >furosemide)
    target the same pump in the ears
32
Q

Hypokalemia tends to go with alkalosis or acidosis?

A

alkalosis

33
Q

What are some drug interactions with loops?

A
  • aminoglycosides (enhanced ototoxicity)
  • lithium (chronic loop administration, dec. clearance)
  • digoxin (inc. toxicity due to electrolyte disturbances) ***** hypokalemia enhances digoxin toxicity.
34
Q

An important distinction between loops and thiazides?

A

Loops lose calcium and thiazides save Ca2+

35
Q

MOA of thiazides.

A

inhibit the Na+/Cl- co-transporter

36
Q

Thiazides hyper polarize what cells in the body?

A

smooth muscle cells (vasodilation) and pancreatic beta cells (decreased insulin release)

37
Q

What are the important thiazides to remember?

A

hydrochlorothiazide
chlorthalidone
indapamide

38
Q

What are the major uses of thiazides?

A

hypertension, CHF
Nephrolithiasis (calcium stones)
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

39
Q

Explain the process by which thiazides are beneficial in the treatment of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

A

In nephrogenic diabetes insipidus the V2 receptors on collecting ducts are uncoupled/damaged; therefore, the reabsorption of water via aquaporin channels is impaired.

We use HCTZ because now you are forcing loss of sodium in the urine which greatly reduces plasma volume. Now RAAS is activated > Ang II activates the reabsorption of sodium and water gets reabsorbed.

Only has this effect when person has nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

40
Q

What are the S/E’s of thiazides?

A

sulfonamide hypersensitivity
hypokalemia and alkalosis
hypercalcemia
hyperuricemia (actively secreted by the OAT)
hyperglycemia
hyperlipidemia (except indapamide)

41
Q

Some interactions with thiazides? (What other drug should you be careful to use with it because of increased toxicity?)

A

digoxin (inc. toxicity due to electrolyte disturbances)

42
Q

Combining K+ sparing diuretics with ACEIs or ARBs may cause hyperkalemia or hypokalemia?

A

hyperkalemia

43
Q

What is the benefit of using eplerenone over spironolactone?

A

eplerenone is a selective aldosterone blocker but is devoid of antiandrogenic effect

44
Q

MOA of aldosterone antagonists.

A

aldosterone - receptor antagonist

stops aldosterone effects of sodium reabsorption therefore no drive to create potassium secretion

45
Q

What are the major uses of spironolactone?

A

hyperaldosteronic states
adjunct to K+ wasting diuretics
antiandrogenic uses (female hirsutism)
CHF

46
Q

Mechanism of action of amiloride and triamterene

A

blocks Na+ channels in collecting tubules

47
Q

Be able to reproduce chart on different diuretics, their MOAs and urinary electrolytes and pH changes.

A
48
Q

Be able to draw out major channels that drugs to PCT, thick ascending loop of Henle, Distal Tubule and collecting duct affect.

A
49
Q

The major uses for amiloride and triamterene?

A

adjunct to K+ wasting diuretics
lithium induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (amiloride)
