Hypertension Flashcards
Distal Tubule Diuretic Drugs
Thiazides:
Hydrochlorothiazide
Chlorhilidone
Loop of Henle Diuretic Drugs
Furosemide
Ethacrynic Acid
Collecting Duct Drugs
Spironalactone
Amiloride
Triamterine
What diseases do thiazides and loop diuretics promote?
Gout and Hypokalemia
What potential side effects do all diuretics have?
Dehydration
Loop diuretic features (3)
- 35% of filtered Na is reabsorbed in loop of henle
- Furosemide/Ethacrynic acid blok Na, K, and Cl transportation from Lumen to thick ascending limb
- Increased Na in collecting duct results in increased exchanged in K = hypokalemia
Thiazide diuretic features (3)
- 10% of filtered Na is reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule
- Hydrochlorothiazide and Chlorthalidone block Na and Cl transportation into distal tubule
- Increased Na in collecting duct increases exchange of K to urine = hypokalemia
Which thiazide diuretic is longer lasting?
Chlorthalidone
Potassium Sparing Diuretic Features (3)
- Collecting duct absorbs 2-5% filtered Na but determines final urine Na concentration
- Aldosterone binds to intracellular Mineralcorticoid receptor - MR maintinas the transcription gene for Na-K-ATPase on basolateral membrane
- Potassium Sparing
Where does spironalactone have its effects? (2)
- Collecting Duct
2. Blocks MR - reduced expression of basolateral Na-K-ATPase
Where do Triamterine/Amiloride have their effects?
- Collecting Duct
2. Block Na channel on Apical membrane
What drugs are Beta-blockers?
Propranolol (non-selective)
Atenolol (cardioselective)
Nadolol (long-acting)
Features of beta blockers? (4)
- Antagonist at B1 adrenergic receptors
- Block sympathetic increases in heart rate and contractile force
- Decrease CO
- Reduce renin production in the kidneys
Alpha1 Adrenergic Receptor Antagonists (2)
- Prazosin
2. Terzosin
Features of alpha 1 adrenergic receptor antagonists (3)
- Block Sympathetic contraction of arterial Smooth Muscle
- Vasodilators
- Decrease TPR
Indirect acting types (2)
Alpha 2 Antagonists
Catecholamine Release Inhibitors
What drug is an alpha2 agonist?
Clonidine
What drug is an catecholamine release inhibitor?
Reserpine
Where does Clonidine have its effects?
- Vasomotor control center inhibition
2. effects the pre-synaptic a2 receptor on its way to the heart
Are arterial vessels capacitance or resistance vessels?
Resistance
Action of sympatholytic drugs
Block sympathetic NS induced contraction of arterial smooth muscle
A1 adrenergic receptor antagonists
Oral Direct Vasodilators include which 3 drugs?
- Hydralazine
- Calicium Channel Blockers
- Minoxidil
Selective arterial dilator that can be taken orally to treat HTN?
Hydralazine
Highly effect direct vasodilator with lots of side effects
Minoxidil
