Diuretics Flashcards
i. Acute mountain sickness ii. Restore acid-base balance in heart failure patients with metabolic alkalosis caused by loop diuretics
Acetazolamide
i. Heart failure ii. Treatment of ascites and edema secondary to hepatic failure iii. Hypokalemic alkalosis secondary to mineralcorticoid excess associated with diminished aldosterone metabolism iv. Effective in secondary hypertension due to hyperaldosteronism a. Potentiate the action of more proximally acting diuretics b. Counteract the potassium wasting of thiazide and loop diuretics
Spironolactone
a. Potentiate the action of more proximally acting diuretics b. Counteract the potassium wasting of thiazide and loop diuretics
Potassium sparing diuretics
About 67% of sodium reabsorption occurs here
Proximal tubule
Acute mountain sickness
acetazolamide
Aminoglycosides (ototoxicity) NSAIDs (decreases efficacy) Oral hypoglycemics (efficacy decreased)
Ethacrynic acid and Furosemide; loop diuretics
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors site of action
Proximal tubule
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors inhibit Na+ reabsorption by noncompetitively and reversibly inhibiting proximal tubule cytoplasmic carbonic anhydrase II and luminal carbonic anhydrase IV
Dorzolamide; Acetazolamide
Cirrhosis associated edema treatment
Diuretics include Spironolactone, loop diuretics and thiazides
Concurrent use with other potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, ARBs, or ACEIs (hyperkalemia) NSAIDs (decreases efficacy) Anuria
Spironolactone; Triamterene; Amiloride
Counteract hyperkalemia caused by potassium-retaining drugs or renal insufficiency with impaired K+ excretion
Loop diuretics; Thiazides
Counteract the potassium wasting of thiazide and loop diuretics
Potassium sparing diuretics
Glaucoma
dorzolamide
Heart failure associated edema treatment
spironolactone which competitively antagonizes aldosterone binding to its receptor; Furosemide is used in the acute setting to reduce the extent of pulmonary edema
How do carbonic anhydrase inhibitors cause metabolic acidosis?
i. Inhibition of H+ secretion ii. Inhibition of CA acid secreting-intercalated cells of the collecting duct
Hypercalcemia treatment–> inc excretion of Calcium
Loop diuretic
Adverse effect Hyperkalemia Metabolic acidosis
Triamterene; Amiloride
Hypertension (first line)
Thiazides
AE Hypokalemia Impaired glucose tolerance/hyperglycemia Hyperuricemia Hyperlipidemia*
Hydrochlorothiazide and indapamide
Treatment: Hyponatremia (administered with hypertonic saline)
Loop diuretics
i. Hypernatremia and dehydration due to water loss in excess of sodium excretion ii. Increases plasma osmolality leading to hyponatremia manifested as headache, nausea and vomiting due to the movement of fluid into the extracellular compartments
Mannitol
AE i. Hypocalcemia ii. Hypomagnesemia iii. Hypokalemia; predisposes patient to cardiac arrythmias iv. Metabolic alkalosis Decreased glucose tolerance Reversible ototoxicity
Furosemide;
AE Impotence and gynecomastia Hyperkalemia Metabolic acidosis
Spironolactone
increased extracellular volume can cause pulmonary edema leading to?
pulmonary congestion and heart failure (contraindications of mannitol)
Treatment Lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
amiloride
Loop diuretics site of action
Thick Ascending Limb of the Loop of Henle
AE Metabolic acidosis
Dorzolamide; Acetazolamide and Potassium sparing diuretics
