Q

when to use K sparing? (aldo antagonist)

A

act at the collecting tubule
used when their is excess aldosterone

must monitor K closely

19
Q

clinical uses of K sparing ( aldo antagonist)

A

heart failure ( spironolactone)
hypertension
primary hyperaldosteronism
edema

20
Q

K sparing MOA (aldo antagonist)

A

act act the collecting tubule

Antagonize aldosterone at intracellular cytoplasmic
receptor sites (no transcription) 

less Na reabsorption and decreased K excretion

21
Q

adverse effects of K sparing

A

aldosterone antagonists

Gastric upset & peptic ulcers

Endocrine effects (antiandrogen)

Hyperkalemia

Nausea, lethargy, mental confusion (rare)

22
Q

K sparing Na channel inhibitors

A

Amiloride and Triamterene

block the Na channels (less Na/K exchange)

23
Q

MOA of k sparing (Na channel inhibitors)

A

act on collecting tubule

Directly block epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) →
decreasing Na+ /K+ exchange

decreased Na+ reabsorption & K+ excretion

24
Q

AE of the K sparing (Na channel inhibitors)

A
Hyperkalemia
Hyponatremia
Leg cramps
GI upset
Dizziness, pruritus, headache & minor visual changes
25
Q

CA inhibitors

A

Acetazolamide

act at the proximal tubular epithelial cells
less effective

26
Q

clinical app of CA inhibitors

A

Glaucoma
Epilepsy (used alone or with other antiepileptics)
Mountain sickness prophylaxis
Metabolic alkalosis

27
Q

MOA of CA inhibitors

A

Inhibits intracellular carbonic anhydrase

Decreases ability to exchange Na+ for H+

Decreases activity of Na+ /K+ ATPase (diuresis)

HCO3 - is retained in lumen (increasing urinary pH)

28
Q

AE of the CA inhibitors

A
• Metabolic acidosis
• Hyponatremia
• Hypokalemia
• Crystalluria
• Malaise, fatigue, depression, headache, GI upset,
drowsiness, paresthesia
