Q

how does acetazolamide work?

what will we develop in terms of acidosis or alkalosis?

Carbonic Anhydrase inhibition in the ciliary epithelium leads to what? what is the clinical application for this?

carbonic anhydrase inhibition will act in the choroid plexus involving the CSF, what is the effect of this?

what is the clinical application for this?

A
  • inhibits carbonic anhydrase in brush border and intracellularly so we will excrete bicarbonate in urine
  • we will develop metabolic acidosis
  • we will lose potassium
  • it leads to reduced secretion of aqueous humor
    • it can be used for glaucoma
  • acidosis of the CSF will lead to hyperventilation
    • can be used in high altitude sickness

Q

what are the adverse reactions related with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors?

A
  • Cross alergenicity with other sulfonamides
  • Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
  • Renal stones: Alkalinization of urine may cause Ca2+ precipitation

Q

what is the effect of using loop diuretics?

A
  • produce massive sodium chloride diuresis
  • it will reduce blood volume
  • it will reduce edema rapidly
  • will reduce the dilution of urine
  • will reduce lumen positive potential (because you lose Ca2+ and Mg)
  • will see loss of K+ and H+ ==> hypokalemic acidosis

Q

Give an example of a Thiazide

what do thiazides do?

A

Hydrochlorothiazide

inhibiting sodium chloride transporter; results in increased reabsorption of Ca from urine

17
Q

for what are thiazides used for?

A
  • Hypertension - by lowering BP
  • Chronic renal calcium stone (because they reduce urine Ca concentration)
18
Q

what are the adverse effects of thiazides?

A
  1. Severe hyponatremia
  2. Hypokalemia
  3. Cross hypersensitivity with sulfonamides
  4. Hypercalcemia
  5. Hyperuricemia
  6. Hyperlipidemia
  7. Hyperglycemia
19
Q

what are the 2 potassium channels in the distal convoluted duct?

A

epithelium Na channels

aldosterone

20
Q

what potassium sparing diuretic acts on aldosterone?

what potassium sparing diuretic acts on ENaC?

A

spironolactone = aldosterone antagonist

amiloride and triamterene = directly blocks the Na channels

21
Q

how does spironolactone work?

what is its effect?

A

Acts as an antagonist of aldosterone in collecting tubule

By binding and blocking the aldosterone receptor, these drugs reduce expression of genes controlling synthesis of epithelial sodium ion channels and Na+K+ATPase

22
Q

how do amiloride and triamterene work?

A

they are Competitive inhibitors of epithelial Na channels

23
Q

what are the Effects of K sparing diuretics?

A
  1. Increases sodium excretion
  2. Decreases potassium and hydrogen ion excretion
  3. May cause hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis
24
Q

what are the uses of potassium sparing diuretics?

A
  • Hypokalemia caused by loop diuretics and thiazides
  • Amiloride used in Lithium induced diabetes insipidus
  • Spironolactone is used in hyperAldosteronism and congestive heart failure (CHF)
25
Q

what are the adverse effects of giving Spironolactone or amiloride/triamterene?

Spironolactone alone causes what?

A
  • Hyperkalemia
  • Extreme caution needed when given with ACE-I

gynecomastia = Anti-androgenic effects

26
Q

What is an example of an osmotic diuretic?

what makes it an osmotic diuretic?

where does it mainly work?

A

mannitol

the fact that it is freely filtered in the glomerulus but poorly reabsorbed; it holds water by vitue of its osmotic effect

in the proximal convoluted tubule

27
Q

what are the Effects of Mannitol?

A
  • Urine volume is increased
  • Mannitol also can reduce Intracranial Pressure by osmotically extracting water from tissue into blood.
  • Similar effect is eye (reduces intraocular pressure)
28
Q

what are the uses of Mannitol?

A
  • Cerebral edema
  • Acute glaucoma
29
Q

what are the adverse effects of mannitol?

A
  • Aminoglycosides increases the ototoxicity of furosemide
  • K+ sparing diuretics reduces digoxin action where as loop and thiazide diuretics increases digoxin toxicity
  • Probenecid reduces the efficacy of diuretics by inhibiting their secretion into renal tubule
30
Q
A
31
Q

what are 2 Antidiuretic Hormone agonists?

what is their mechanism of action?

in what condition is it used?

what is the effect of these?

A
  • Vasopressin and desmopressin
  • facilitates water reabsorption from collecting tubule by activation of V2receptors – increases Gs and therefore cAMP and recruits more aquaporins
  • neurogenic (pituitary) Diabetes insipidus
  • reduce urine volume and increase its conc.
32
Q

what are 2 ADH antagonists?

What drug has the capability to be an ADH antagonist but is never used for that purpose?

What is the mechanism of action of ADH antagonist?

What conditions merit the use of these ADH antagonists?

What can induce diabetes insipidus? how do you treat it?

A

Demeclocycline, Conivaptan

Lithium

oppose the actions of ADH & other peptides, which act on V2 receptors

syndrome of inapropriate ADH and small cell carcinoma

Lithium, Amiloride
