Q

Compare and contrast the acute and chronic effect of diuretics as antihypertensive therapy

A

Acutely, diuretics act to
-↓BP by causing diuresis
-↓ plasma vol & SV - ↓ CO & BP
-initial ↓ CO causes a compensatory ↑ in PVR
Over time,
-ECF and plasma vol returns to pretreatment levels and PVR falls below baseline
-↓PVR is responsible for LT hypotensive effects
-thiazides mobilize Na+/water from arteriolar walls to ↓ PVR and ↓BP

Q

Thiazide diuretics MOA, pharm effects (hydrochlorothiazide), indications

A
  1. inhibit Na+/Cl- cotransporter at distal tubule to increase excretion of Na+ and Cl- in urine
  2. ↑Ca2+ reabsorption in proximal tubule by increasing passive reabsorption and in distal tubule by decreasing Na+ which increases Na+/Ca2+ exchange in basolateral membrane
  3. induce expression of apical Ca2+ channels

↑ NaCl excretion, K+ wasting, ↓ urine Ca2+

HTN, mild HF, nephrolithiasis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

Q

thiazide diuretic DI

A

combo w/other anti-HTN, monitor BP
NSAIDS ↑Na+ retention which antagonizes therapeutic effect of thiazides
Topiramate (↓K,↓Cl)
Digitalis: ↑arrhythmias
Lithium:↓ renal excretion of Li+, toxic
Allopurinol: ↑ allergic response

Q

Loop diuretics MOA

A

Inhibit Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter on the apical membrane of cells in the loop of Henle

Result in ↓ reabsorption of Na+ & Cl- –> ↑excretion in urine

↓ the positive transepithelial potential- causes marked ↑ in Ca2+ & Mg2+ secretion –> hypocalcemia & hypomagnesemia

Q

Loop diuretics ADR

A

Hypotension & volume depletion
Hypokalemia
Alkalosis – due to enhanced H+ secretion
Mg+ wasting
Dose-related ototoxicity – caution w/aminoglycosides
Ethacrynic acid produces GI disturbances

16
Q

Loop diuretics uses

A

-Pulmonary & peripheral edema associated w/CHF
-Other edematous conditions: liver cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome
-Hypercalcemia: enhance Ca2+ excretion
-Hyperkalemia: enhance K+ excretion
-Less useful in treating htn
-Limited efficacy & short t1/2
-Availability more effective & better tolerated antihypertensive agents

17
Q

Furosemide (Lasix)
Class
MOA
Uses
ADR

A

-Loop diuretic
-MOA: inhibit reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- by attaching to Cl- binding site of the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporters in TAL of Henle

Uses:
-HTN
-HF
-Acites
-Hypercalcemia
-Pulmonary edema

ADR
-Volume depletion
-↓ Na+, ↓Ca2+, ↓K+
-Hyperglycemia
↓-Mg–> ↓Ca2+ & tetany
-Hyperuricemia
-Metabolic alkalosis

18
Q

Potassium sparing diuretics MOA and MOA of Aldosterone Antagonist

A

-Block epithelial Na+ channels (ENaC) in the principal cells of DCT & collecting ducts
-Na+ reabsorption is coupled w/K+ secretion – inhibition of Na+ reabsorption —> ↓K+ excretion
-K+ sparing diuretic – poor antihypertensive monotherapy; combination w/thiazides antagonize
-K+ loss –> ↓ risk of ventricular arrythmias

Aldosterone inhibitors ↓biosynthesis of new Na+ channels in principal cells via blockeing aldosterone receptors –> inhibition of Na+ reabsorption

19
Q

Potassium sparing diuretic drugs and aldosterone antagonist drugs

A

Amiloride
Amiloride/HCTZ
Triamterene
Triamterene/HCTZ

Spironolactone and eplerenone

20
Q

Use of potassium-sparing diuretics and use of aldosterone antagonists

A

adjunct w/thiazides or loop diuretics to prevent hypokalemia

  1. Adjunct w/thiazides/loop diuretics to
  2. prevent hypokalemia
  3. Heart failure
  4. Ascites in cirrhosis
  5. Acne & hair loss in women
  6. Male baldness – topical
  7. Diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism
21
Q

ADR of potassium sparing diuretics and of aldosterone antagonists

A

Hyper kalemia: arrhythmias, metabolic acidosis & acute renal failure
Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis-inhibit H+ secretion in parallel w/K+ secretion
Kidney stones: triamterene- slightly soluble & may precipitate in the urine

Aldosterone inhibitors also have:
Endocrine abnormalities: spironolactone may cause gynecomastia, breast tenderness…
