Q

K sparing diuretics MOA - The K+ STAys

A

Aldosterone antag: Spironolactone and eplerenone
ENaC direct inhibitors: Triamterene, and Amiloride

Spironolactone and eplerenone competitive aldosterone receptor antagonists in cortical collecting tubule.

Triamterene and amiloride act at the same part of the tubule by blocking Na+ channels in the cortical collecting tubule.

Q

Combining K+-sparing diuretics with ________ may cause hyperkalemia.

A

ACEIs or ARBs

17
Q

Uses of K sparing diuretics:

A

Hyperaldosteronism, K+ depletion, HF, hepatic ascites (spironolactone), nephrogenic DI (amiloride), antiandrogen.

spironolactone and eplerenone decrease chronic heart failure (CHF) mortality- increase long term survival

18
Q

ADR of K sparing diuretics

A

Hyperkalemia (can lead to arrhythmias), endocrine effects with spironolactone (eg, gynecomastia, antiandrogen effects)

19
Q

How do B Blockers effect RAAS ?

A

BBs reduce renin, angio I, angio II, ald and do not affect bradykinin

20
Q

Aliskren MOA and effect on RAAS

A

inhibits renin

increase renin 
increase angio I 
decrease anio II 
decrease ald 
No effect on BradyK
21
Q

ACE inhibitors MOA and effect on RAAS

A

inhibit ACE

increase renin 
increase angio I 
decrease anio II 
decrease ald 
increase BradyK
22
Q

Angio II receptor 1 blocker (ARB) effect on RAAS

A
increase renin 
increase angio I 
increase angio II 
decrease ald 
increase BradyK
23
Q

Angio II receptor 1 blocker (ARB) ADR - (CATCHH)

A

Captopril’s CATCHH.

Cough, 
Angioedema (due to  bradykinin; contraindicated in C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency), 
Teratogen (fetal renal malformations),
 Creatinine ( GFR), 
Hyperkalemia, and 
Hypotension. 

No use in renal artery stenosis, will cause renal failure

24
Q

Uses of ACE inhibitors

A
Hypertension, 
HF ( mortality), 
proteinuria, 
diabetic nephropathy.
Prevent unfavorable heart remodeling as a result of chronic hypertension.
