Diuretics Flashcards
Classes of Diuretics
Osmotic Loop Thiazide Potassium sparing Carbonic Anyhydrase Inhibitor
Main use of diurectics
Tx edema
Na excretion
Osmotic diurectic
Mannitol
MOA osmotic diurectic
Filtered by glomerules –> poorly absorbed –> increase water loss
Admin of Mannitol
IV only
Mannitol classify
Osmotic diuretic
What typ eof patient recieves mannitol
euhydrated patients!!! only
What is mannitol used to tx
TOC: cerebral edema
Tx glucoma
What drug is a loop diurectic
Furosemide
Where do loop diurectics function
Thick ascending loop of henle
What is the most effiecent diurectic
Loop –> FUROSEMIDE
What do loop diurectics inhibit
NaCl symporter
Loop diurectic MOA
Inhibit Na/K/Cl cotransporter at thick ascending loop of henle –> inhibits reabsorption of Ca & Mg–> Increases K & H+ loss
Furosemide MOA
Inhibit Na/K/Cl cotransporter at thick ascending loop of henle –> inhibits reabsorption of Ca & Mg–> Increases K & H+ loss
Furosemide & Ca
results in hypocalemia
Furosemide DOC
DOC: cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to CHF
Furosemide uses
DOC: cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to CHF
TX severe hypercalemia
TX exercise induced pulmonary bleeding in horses!
Cautions with Furosemide
hypocalemia
systemic metabolic alkalosis
most potent
cats are sensitive … shocker
