Exam 1 Chapter 39 AntiHypertensives Flashcards
Purpose of DIURETICS
Decrease BP
Decrease edema
Beta blockers 1 and 2
Heart kidneys lungs Beta 1
Lungs Liver Beta 2
Metoprolol is a Beta Blocker
Non-selective or Selective
Selective - one receptor effect
Antagonist on Beta 1
Decrease in HR
Decrease in heart contractility
Decrease in BP
Decrease the workload of the heart, dec. oxygen need
Regulators of BP
- Kidneys - secrete - Renin
- Baroreceptor stimulation - coronary arteries/Adrenal glands
if brady, will stim. neuor/catecholamines/norepinephrine
Stimulate/agonize: beta 1,2 receptors alpha 1,
will inc HR, BP - Antidiuretic hormone - (ADH) Pituitary gland. Inc ADH (less pee, bp up less ADH, pee more, bp goes down, less volume.
- BNP Brain Natriuretic Peptide - released from the heart
BNP - Brain natriuretic Peptide
Muscles cells of the heart releases it.
when the heart senses it needs to contract more
with fluid overload it releases more.
RAAS System
Renin angiotensin aldosterone system
- Kidney releases renin
- Liver releases angiotensinogen
- Angiotensin I - weak vasoconstrictor
- ACE - angiotensin converting enzyme
- Angiotensin II - potent vasoconstrictor
Two Functions - - Peripheral vasoconstriction, inc BP
ARBS (angiotensin receptor blocker) can stop this - Aldosterone (Adrenal Glands) - sodium/water retention (inc. BP) - restores fluid

Lifestyle modifications for hypertension
COME FIRST and part of
ANY TREATMENT PLAN
Smoking cessation
Diet (Eat more colors, the rainbow) limit sodium
Control blood glucose and (Cholesterol) lipids (diabetes –heart disease)
Physical Activity (150 minutes/week)
Two main classes of drugs to control hypertension
(Also known as Anti-hypertension drugs)
ACE inhibitors (no converting to Angiotensin II)
ARBS (allows the conversion, but then blocks the receptors)
8 types of antihypertensive drug
- Diuretics (pee, decrease Na/water and ECFV)
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers ARBS
- Alpha Beta blockers
4.Calcium Channel Blockers - ACE inhibitors (no conversion to Angiotension II)
- Beta adrenergic blockers - Beta 1 or Beta 1/2
- Centrally acting Alpha 2 agonist
- Direct acting vasodilators -
Why do we give diuretics?
FIrst line for - Hypertension
Heart Failure
Fluid overload
pulmonary edema
peripheral edema
Diuretics - mechanism of action
Prevent kidneys from reabsorbing sodium/water
Vasodilation
Diuretic - Universal Assessment for all
I and O’s
Vital signs /BP. can cause hypotension
Kidney function
Daily weights - gain of more than 3 lbs/day or 5 lbs in a week notify HCP
Electrolytes. - esp. potassium
Safety - walking to bathroom, distance, already incontinent
*Teaching:
If 1x day med - take in the morning, so sleep not interrupted
No sudden position changes - elderly
most photosensitivity
What are the diuretic classes?
- Thiazides
- Loops
- Potassium Sparing
- Osmotic Diuretics
If you give a person a diuretic (foley) outcome would be
increased urine output
Kidney
Fluid enters at:
Nephron
Glomerulus/Bowman’s Capsule
Proximal Tubules 50-55% closest
Loop of Henle 35-40% loop diuretics
Distal Tubule 5-10%
Collecting Tubule < 3%
How much of sodium reabsorbed?
99%
Thiazide Diuretics - Pharmokinetics
Promotes sodium/water loss in distal tubule
Vasodilatory effect
Acute heart failure
would you use a thiazide diuretic?
No - maintenance hypertension heart failure
not for acute emergencies
List 3 Thiazide diuretics
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) MOST COMMON
Metolazone
Chlorthalidone
Thiazides are effective for immediate diuresis?
True or false
Thiazides are NOT effective for Immediate diuresis.
Maintenance therapy in heart failure
Potassium
3.5-5. mq/l
hypo excreted from distal renal tubule
Magnesium
1.2-2.5 mq/l
hypo occurs when K+ and Na+ are lost
Calcium
8.6-10.2 mg/dl hyper happens w thiazides as block excretion
Chloride
96-106 mEq/l hypo when Na+ and K+ are lost
BiCarbonate
24-28 mEq/L minimal from proximal tubule
Uric Acid
2.8-8.0 mg/dl hyperuricemia thiazides block release
Blood Glucose
70-99 mg/dl hyperglycemia thiazides inc blood sugar
Who should NOT use THIAZIDES?
CKF GFR > 30
Diabetics
Gout patients
Problems with Thiazides
LOW
HYPOkalemia. - low K+. ie K+=3. Low
HIGH
HYPERcalcemia - high Ca+
HYPERglycemia - high blood sugar
HYPERURICEMIA - gout - high uric acid
Loop Diuretics
promote loss of sodium and water
works in 5 minutes on IV
potent natriuretic effect
If patient is hypokalemia on thiazides
what can they do?
Foods with potassium
fruits and veg. potatoes
or supplements
If allergic to sulfa, can you take a thiazide?
No you will have an allergic reaction.
What to know about patient who is taking
a THIAZIDE -
Know electrolyte level
know K+ level
GFR<30
Allergies to sulfa
First line for hypertension
Loop Diuretics - potassium _______-
Potassium Wasting
at risk for hypokalemia
Name two diuretics are K+ wasting
Thiazides
Loop Diuretics
When are Loop diuretics used?
FV Fluid volume overload
Acute pulmonary edema
Heart failure
OTo get fluid out fast
promote the loss of sodium and water
aggressive drug IV onset 5 minutes
Name Loops
Furosemide (lasix)
Bumetanide (critical care) Bumex
Torsemide (heart failure) Demadex
