Q
thiazide diuretics (and thiazide like agents)
A
- Basics
- All are sulfonamides
- drugs
- Thiazides (end in thiazide)
- Chlorothiazide
- Hydrochlorothiazide
- Methyclothiazide
- Polythiazide
- Trichlormethiazide
- Thiazide like drugs
- Chlorthalidone
- Indapamine
- Metolazone
- Quinethazone
- Thiazides (end in thiazide)
- Mech
- Inhibitors of Na Cl transport
- Enhanced Ca reabsorption because of increased Na gradient basolaterally (no Na in the cell) - so the Na Ca exchanger works well
- More Na in collecting ducts = more K excretion
- Only moderatley effective in increaseing NaCl excretion (most has already been reabsorbed before it reaches the tubule)
- Uses
- Used to be first line agents for hypertension
- Still used at a low dose
- Can be used at high dose for CHF
- Neophrolithiasis - reduces urine Ca concentration so stones may disolve
- Neophrogenic diabetes insipidus - reduce polyuria and polydipsia
- This is counterintuititve - we don’t know why it works (we thing because it decreases reabsorption of Na = less Na = less blood vol = decrease GFR = increased Na reabsorption in prox tubule ) - we really just don’t know
- Works better in african americans and elderly
- Not effective when GFR is low (unlike loops)
- Used to be first line agents for hypertension
- AE
- Excreted by organic acid secretory system (also excretes uric acid) = hyperuricemia
- Hypokalemia
- Reduced Ca excretion (opposite of loops)
- Hyperglycemia - decreases pancreatic release of insulin and diminished tissue utilization of glucose
- Hyperlipidemia - increase total serum cholesterol (may return to normal after prolonged use)
- Allergic reactions (sulfonamides)
- ED (probably due to volume depletion)

13
Q
polythiazide
A
thiazide
14
Q
loop diuretics
A
- sulfonamides
- Furosemide
- Bumetanide
- Torsemide
- Ethacrynic acid - use if pt is allergic to sulfonamides
- Mech
- Inhibits NKCC transporter = decresaed in Na Cl reabsorption (because there is more Na in the lumen when it gets to collecting ducts you lose K)
- Decreases the potential diff generated by recycling K = less divalent reabsorption (increased excretion of Ca and Mg
- It is excreted by the same transporters that excrete NSAIDs - taking these may interact with secretion = longer HL
- Direct vascular effects due to increased prostaglandin synthesis may increase renal blood flow
- Powerful stimulators of renin - the mac dense uses the same NKCC transporter - so it can’t sense the Na = thinks there is no Na = increased secretion of prostaglandins on JG cells = more renin
- Uses
- Relief of pulm edema (usually assoicated with heart failure)
- Other uses
- Hypertension if thiazides don’t work
- Severe hyperkalemia
- Acute renal failure - can convert oliguric to nonoliguric failure
- Can secrete water from the tubules (even if GFR is down you can still get volume excretion)
- AE
- Dehydration/hyponatremia
- Hypokalemia
- Ototoxicity - usually reversible
- NKCC is used in endolymph production
- Hyperuricemia and gout attacks - due to hypovolemia = increased Uric acid concentration
- Allergic reactions - more common in sulfonamides than with ethacrynic acid
