Q

what is mechanism of spironolactone

A

interact with hormone receptor

26
Q

which diuretic interacts with hormone receptors

A

spironolactone

27
Q

how is Na+ level controlled?

A

active transport via Na+/K+ ATPase at interstitial (BLOOD) surface

in kidney, Na+ reabsoprtion

28
Q

how do diureitcs affect Na+ levels

A

1) decr Na+ reabsoprtion

2) Na+ and H2O into urine

29
Q

mechanism of loop diuretics

A

1) inhib NaCl transport in thick ascending limb across lumen-urine
2) decr gradient to pump K+ out
3) incr Mg2+/Ca2+ excretion

30
Q

what is unique about when you can use loop diuretics?

A

YOU CAN USE ON RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS

31
Q

pharmacokinetics of loop diuretics

A

variable bioavaiability with furosemide

fast IV

32
Q

how are loop diuretics excreted?

A

glomerular filtration

renal secretion

33
Q

negative of filtration of loop diuretics?

A

same transporter as uric acid –> hyperuricemia

34
Q

which loop diuretic has shortest half life and which has longest?

A

furosemide = shortest

bumetanide = longest

35
Q

when do you use loop diuretics

A

HF patients with volume overload

36
Q

how are loop diuretics enhanced?

A

with salt restriction

37
Q

what happens if furosemie cannot be used?

A

1) incr dose
2) switch to bumetanide/torsemide (more reliable + longer duration)
3) IV administration
4) ethacrynic acid for non-sulfa form

38
Q

what are the mechanisms in HF patients with decr diuretic response

A

1) decr drug delivery to kidney via decr renal blood flow

2) low perfusion ACTIVATES RAAS AND SYMP NS

39
Q

when do you get refractory edema side effect of loop diuretics?

A

when you pair with thiazide

40
Q

how does loop + thiazide cause refractory edema?

A

1) block distal tubule Na+ reabs

2) counter loop induced incr in Na+ delivery

41
Q

what can you do to treat patients with refractory edema

A

1) give them aldosterone antagonist to incr diuresis and incr K+ sparing

42
Q

side effects of loop diuretics

A

1) hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis (b/c incr K+ and H+ excretion)
2) hyperuricemia - gout

43
Q

mechanism of thiazide diuretics

A

1) inhib Na+/Cl- cotransporter, incr urine excr of NaCl

44
Q

how effective are thiazides?

A

less than loops because only 5-10% of filtered Na+ is NORMALLY reabsorbed here

45
Q

difference btwn thaizides and loops in level of Ca2+

A

Thiazides - incr reabs of Ca2+

Loop - decr Ca2+

46
Q

compare use of thiazide and loops for CHF

A

higher dose for thiazide in HTN

usu need loops for CHF

47
Q

side effects of thiazides

A

1) hypokalemia –> ectopic pacemaker
2) hyperglycemia
3) hyperuricemia –> gout

48
Q

amount of diuresis for K+ sparing diuretics?

A

mild diuresis alone

49
Q

difference btwn mechanism of K+ sparing vs. K+ wasting?

A

K+ sparing –> block collecting tubule Na+ reabs receptor –> decr K+ excretion

K+ wasting –> block proximal Na+ reabs, incr K+ excretion

50
Q

mechanism of spironolactone

A

competitive antagonist at aldosterone receptor

51
Q

mechanism of triamterene/amiloride

A

direct block Na+ in collecting duct lumen, decr Na+ reabs

NO UTILITY IN HF

52
Q

what is a key criteria before giving patient K+ sparing diuretic?

A

make sure kidney works well (or else hyperkalemia)

53
Q

why are aldosterone antag (K+ sparing) used in HF?

A

block aldo receptors on heart –> RAAS antagonist

anti-remodeling

incr K+

54
Q

side effects of aldosterone antag

A

1) hyperkalemia

2) gynecomastia (block androgen receptor)

55
Q

factors that incr risk of hyperkalemia with aldosterone antag

A

1) incr age
2) renal failure
3) higher dose
4) combined ACEI + ARB
5) NSAID

56
Q

what in common amongst use of ACEI/ARB, B blocker, Aldosterone receptor blocker

A

anti-remodeling, decr fibrosis/apoptosis

57
Q

mechanism of ACE inhibitor

A

decr myocardial hypertrophy and remodeling

58
Q

pharmacokinetics of ACE inhibitor

A

1) absorb orally
2) prodrug convert to active metabolity in liver
3) elim by kidney
4) once-daily

59
Q

side effects of ACE inhibitor

A

cough
renal dysfunction
hypotension
hyperkalemia

teratogenic

60
Q

advantage of ARB over ACEI

A

more complete inhib of Ang II

no cough

61
Q
