Exam 1 Diuretics Flashcards
Characteristics of this diuretic include: free glomerular filtration, limited tubular reabsorption, inert/nontoxic, resistant to metabolic alteration
Osmotic diuretics
Type of diuretic that is not reabsorbed but carries equivalent amount of fluid
Osmotic diuretics
Primary site of action is descending loop of henle
Osmotic diuretics
increases excretion of all electrolytes
osmotic diuretics
adverse side effects include acute rapid expansion of ECF-could cause cardiac decompensation/failure in CVD
osmotic diuretics
Headache and Nausea are common SE
osmotic diuretics
General therapeutic uses: acute renal failure, glaucoma, mobilize edema fluid, reduce spinal fluid volume/pressure before neurosurgery
osmotic diuretics
Prototypes: Mannitol and Isosorbide
Osmotic diuretics
Osmotic diuretic that has poor GI absorption
Mannitol
Osmotic diuretics that can be taken orally
Isosorbide
all of these types of diuretics have a free sulfonamide group
CA inhibitors
this diuretic causes alkaline urine and metabolic acidosis
CA inhibitors
increased excretion of Na, K, HCO3, H20
CA inhibitors
Diuretic effect is self-limiting because metabolic acidosis reduces filtered load of HCO3
CA inhibitors
Absorption is rapid and complete; half-life is 6-9 hours
CA inhibitors
Prototype: Acetazolamide (DIAMOX)
CA inhibitors
not used as primary diuretic due to short action
CA inhibitors
General therapeutic uses: alkalinize urine, glaucoma, reduces epileptic seizure, mountain sickness
CA inhibitors
Adverse side effects: Parasthesia
CA inhibitors
Adverse side effects: drowsiness is common
CA inhibitors
Adverse side effects: can cause kidney stones (due to alkaline urine –> precip. Ca PO4)
CA Inhibitors
hypersensitivity/allergic reactions may occur but are rare with this class of diuretics
CA inhibitors
Class of diuretics that was developed to improve action of CAI’s
Thiazides
Prototype: Chlorothiazide (Diuril)
Thiazides
MOA: inhibits the Na/Cl symport in the distal segment of the nephron, also limited CA inhibition
Thiazides
diuretic that causes K-depletion due to excess Na in the distal tubule
Thiazides
