Loop diuretics include
furosemide
bumetanide
ethacrynic acid
lasix dosing is
20-200 mg
Bumetanide dosing is
0.5-2 mg
Ethacyrnic acid dosing is
25-100 mg
Clinical uses of loop diuretics includes
acute pulmonary edema
AKI
CHF
hypercalcemia
HTN
anion overdose
intracranial HTN (not as effective as mannitol)
mobilization of edema fluid
Complications of loop diureticcs include

hypovolemia
ototoxicity
hypokalemia
reduced lithium clearance
Thiazide diuretics include
hydrochlorothiazide
chlorthialidone
metolazone
indapamide
The hydrochlorothiazide dose is
12.5-50 mg
Clinical uses of thiazide diuretics include
essential HTn
mobilize edema fluid
CHF
osteoporosis
Complications of thiazide diuretics include
hyperglycemia
hypercalcemia
hyperuricemia
hypokalemic, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis
hypovolemia
HLD
sexual dysfunction
Potassium-sparing diuretics include
spironolactone
amiloride
triamterene
Spironolactone exists in a subclass of potassium-sparing diuretics called
aldosterone antagonists
Clinical uses of potassium-sparing diuretics include
secondary hyperaldosteronism
to reduce K+ loss in a patient receiving a loop or thiazide diuretic
Complications of potassium-sparing diuretics include
hyperkalemia
metabolic acidosis
gynecomastia
libido changes
nephrolithiasis
Identify the BEST tests of tubular function. (select 2)
a. blood urea nitrogen
b. urine osmolality
c. fractional excretion of sodium
d. creatinine clearance
b. urine osmolality
c. fractional excretion of sodium
Renal function tests provide an assessment of either
glomerular function or tubular function
Test of glomerular function include
BUN
serum creatinine
creatinine clearance
Tests of tubular function (concentrating ability) include
fractional excretion of sodium
urine osmolality
urine sodium concentration
urine specific gravity
Normal BUn is
10-20 mg/dL
