Diuretics Flashcards
what are diuretics, what do they do and what are they used for?
- help get extra fluid off (h2O & Na+)
- decrease BP due to dec. in plasma volume
- used for HTN, Heart Failure, ARF, Edema
what are drug targets for how they get moved across the membrane?
- anything with a protein
what are the different classes of diuretics on general?
- SOA (loops)
- Efficacy (high ceiling)
- structure (thiazide)
- effect K+ excretion (potassium-sparing)
what are classes based off of MOA?
- inhibit CA
- osmotic
- inhibit Na/K/Cl symport
- inhibit Na/Cl symport
- inhibit renal epithelial Na+ channel
- MAR
where does high protein binding occur?
- not filtered through bowmans capsule
- transport/secretion in proximal tubule
where does drug get secreted?
PT
where does drug get reabsorped?
DT
what is filtered in the glomerulus?
unbound protein
what is the major route of elimination for drugs and what percent?
- renal excretion
- 25-30%
what drugs are OATs?
diuretics
penicillin
cephalosporin
probenecid
NSAIDs
what are OATs and what do they do?
- diffusion out of capillary into interstitial space
- transport across basolateral membrane
- secretion across luminal membrane
– COMPETITION; NON_SELECTIVE
what does active secretion depends on?
- amount of plasma protein binding
- the rate of delivery
- degree of saturation of transporters
- presence of competitive drugs
what is penicillin and mechanism?
- inhibit transpeptidase
- block crosslinking
- dec. cell wall synthesis
- extracted and used with competition of probenacid to slow excretion and prolong activity
what do inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase doing?
- inhibit both cytoplasm and membrane-bound
- block reabsorption of NaHCO3
what does the sulfanilamide group in CA inhibitors and other diuretics?
show to produce mild diuresis
what is a common diuretics that inhibits CA?
acetazolamide
how is acetazolamide good for acute mountain sickness?
- used before going above 10.000 ft
what percent hav an occurance of sulfonamide induced drug rash?
5-10% but rare
what are osmotic diuretics?
- inert
- major site PCT & descending loop of henle
