Diuretics Flashcards
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
(CAIs) **Acetazolamide Brinzolamide Dorzolamide Methazolamide
MOA: Inhibits CA -> no bicarb reabsorption -> increase diuresis
Urine pH increases, Body pH decreases
Not effective long term due to increased sodium reabsorption down the line
Acetazolamide
Prototype CAI
Brinzolamide
Topical ophthalmic CAI
Dorzolamide
Topical ophthalmic CAI
Methazolamide
CAI
Loop diuretics
(Loops) **Ethacrynic acid **Furosemide Bumetanide Torsemide
MOA: Inhibit NKCC2 in TAL -> decrease absorption of Na, K, and Cl AND Mg and Ca -> increase diuresis
Increase acid and K secretion in DCT and CCT, Body pH increases
Ethacrynic acid
Prototype loop diuretic
**Only non-sulfa
Furosemide
Prototype loop diuretic (Lasix)
Bumetanide
Loop diuretic
Torsemide
Loop diuretic
Thiazide diuretics
**Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) Bendroflumethiazide Chlorothiazide Chlorthalidone Hydroflumethiazide Indapamide Methylclothiazide Metolazone Polythiazide Trichlomethiazide
MOA: inhibit NCC -> increase lumen NaCl -> increase diuresis
Enhance reabsorption of Ca in PCT and DCT
