Diuretics Flashcards
What are 3 uses for diuretics
- mobilize fluid
- excrete fluid
- excrete electrolytes
name the prototype of drug for carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Acetazolamide
MOA for Acetazolamide (CAI)
inhibits carbonic anhydrase in proximal tubule
what are 3 uses for Acetazolamide (CAI)
- open-angle gluacoma
- prophylaxis of acute mountain sickness
- not used as much today
how can Acetozolamide treat open-angle glaucoma
- decreases aqueous humor formation
- decreases intraocular pressure
- used for chronic treatment
what are adverse effects of Acetozolamide
- metabolic acidosis
- hypokalemia
- drowsiness
- tingling of extremities (paresthesias)
what is the main Benzothiadiazide used
Chlorothiazide
name the related drugs of Benzothiazides
- chlorthalidone
- metalozone
- indapamide
MOA of benzothiazides
- inhibition of sodium chloride co-transporter on the luminal membrane of distal tubular cells
- less impact on proximal convoluted tubule
what are benzothiazides effects on urine composition
- increase, Na, K, Cl, HCO3, H2O excretion
- decrease Ca excretion
What are 5 therapeutic uses of Benzothiazides
- hypertension
- congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, other edemetous states
- hypercalciuria
- nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
- nephrotic syndrome (+- Spironolactone)
What are 7 adverse effects of benzothiazides
- hypokalemia ( digitalis interaction)
- hypovolemia
- hypersensitivity
hyperGLUC hyperGlycemia hyperLipidemia hyperUricemia (gout attacks) hyperCalcemia
When are thiazides ineffective as diuretics
GFR less than 30-40 ml/min
What drugs are effective at lower GFR rates and can be used if GFR is less than 40 ml/min
Metolazone
Indapamide
Name 4 Loop Diuretic drugs
Furosemide
Bumetanide
Torsemide
ethacrynic acid
MOA of loop diuretics
inhibition of Na, K, 2Cl cotransporter in luminal membrane of ascending limb of the loop of henle
what are loop diuretics impact on urine composition
- increase Na, K, Ca, Cl H2O excretion
- +/- HCO3 at low doses
- increase HCO3, PO4 at high doses
