Four types /class of diuretics

A
  1. Loop
  2. Thiazide
  3. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
  4. Potassium sparing
24
Q

Example of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor

A

Diamox (acetazolamide)

25
Q

Mechanism of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and target site

A

Proximal tubule - decreases Na and bicarb reabsorption

26
Q

Examples of loop diuretics

A

Lasix
Bumex
Torsemide

27
Q

Target site and mechanismnof loop diuretic

A

Loop of Henle - excrets Na, water, chloride, Ca, K, Mg

28
Q

Example of potassium sparing (4)

A

Spironoloctone
Triamterene
Eplerenone
Finerenone

29
Q

Target site and mechanism of potasium sparing

A

Late distal tubule plus collecting duct - inhibit aldostrone activity by binding to aldosterone receptors

30
Q

Examples of thiazides

A

HCTZ
Chlorothiazide (Diuril)
Chlothalidone
Metalazone (Zaroxolyn)

31
Q

Target site and mechanism of thiazides

A

Distal convoluted tubule - decreases Na reabsor. by increasing Na and water excretion

32
Q

Conversion Lasix to Torsemide to Bumex

A

Bumetanide 1mg is equivalent to furosemide 40mg (oral), furosemide 20mg (IV), and torsemide 10-20mg

33

A
  • Oral medication regimen stable for 24 hours
  • No IV vasodilator or inotopic for 24hrs
  • Ambulation before discharge
  • Plans for post discharge management
  • Referral to disease management, if available
    
35
Q

A

Promote diuresis, vasodilation and Na excretion
