Q

Acetazolamide; Methazolamide; Dichlorphenamide - MOA (2)

A
  1. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor –> luminal inhibition prevents H2CO3-> H20+CO2 so less entry into cell and intracellular inhibition prevents HCO3- formation –> decreases basolateral Na+ reabsorption via Na/HCO3- (1:3) symport
  2. Acts at PCT-> Low diuretic b/c of tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) activation in macula densa –> decrease in RBF/GFR –> self-limited diuresis

Q

Mannitol, Isosorbide, Glycerin, Urea - MOA (3)

A

Osmotic diuretic

  1. Limit Na+ and water reabsorption
  2. Increase urinary excretion of nearly all electrolytes including Na+, K+, Ca+2, Mg+2, Cl-, phosphate
  3. Increases oncotic P and pulls water from ICF to expand extracellular fluid volume –> causes decreased renin release and increased RBF which causes medullary washout and thus diuresis (decreased concentrating ability)

Q

Furosemide, Bumetanide, Ethacrynic acid, Torsemide - MOA (4)

A

Loop diuretic in thick ascending limb (TAL)

  1. Inhibits Na-K-2Cl symport –> increased luminal [salt] = decreased water reabsorption
  2. Inhibits macula densa sensing mechanism –> interprets this as low luminal [NaCl] –> thus block TGF and do not decrease GFR
  3. Loss of interstitial gradient from medullary washout –> decreased urine concentrating abilities –> diuresis
  4. Increased urinary excretion of Na, Cl, K, and Ca/Mg (less positive lumen so decrease electrical gradient)
18
Q

Furosemide, Bumetanide, Ethacrynic acid, Torsemide - Potency (2)

A
  1. Ethacrynic acid < furosemide < torsemide < bumetanide

2. Dose-response curve shift to R w/ chronic renal failure (impaired drug secretion into PCT)

19
Q

A

Thiazide diuretics

  1. Inhibit Na/Cl symport in distal convoluted tubule (DCT) => decreased water reabsorption = diuresis; 2. Increased excretion of Na, Cl, and K and decreased excretion of Ca2+ (stimulated reabsorption)
  2. No tubuloglomerular feedback (after macula densa) or RBF
