    Inhibit angiotensin 2 formation
    Efferent arteriole dilation
    Benefit of decreasing glomerular pressure > decreased GFR
48
Q

Pct
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Na and hco3 excretion
Weak diuretic

Uses:
- open-angle glaucoma _ intraocular
- serum s ‘ ickness

53
Q

Loop diuretics

A

-emide / - nadide / ethacrynic acid
Strongest
K wasting
Na-k-2 cl @thick ascending LOH
Ca and mg loss dt membrane potential change
H wasting → alkalosis
venous vasodilation

Uses:
- chf
-Volume overload
- hyper-k crisis
- not as good for htn b/c no arterial dilation

54
Q

Thiazide diuretics

A

Na cl symporter @. Dct
Compensatory Na Ca exchanger action → hyper-ca
K wasting
H wasting → alkalosis

Uses:
- First line htn
. Calcium kidney stones

55
Q

Spironolactone

A
  • Aldosteronereceptor blocker @collecting duct
    K sparing
    H retention → acidosis

Use:
- chf
- liver failure/acites
- Maintain k
- Hyper-aldosterone
- feminizing: PCOS, trans-f

56
Q

Na channel blocker

A

.inhibit enac - @collecting duct
K sparing
H retention →acidosis

Amiloride
Triamterene

57
Q

Non renal uses CA in hibitors

A

Respiratory alkalosis _ COPD -, sleep apnea, altitude sickness
Pressure- glaucoma, ICP
Epilepsy- nerve de polarization inhibitor

58
Q

CA inhibitors c/i

A

acidosis
sulfa allergy
cirrhosis (–> hepatic encephalopathy)

59
Q

SIADH

A

excess ADH = water retention
hyponatremia
but usually euvolemic (total body water) d/t compensatory water loss by ANP/BNP
cerebral edema - potentially lethal

60
Q

SIADH tx

A

can be treated with loop diuretics + saline b/c loop diuretics interrupt formation of gradient needed to reabsorb water in collecting duct. Then we replace sodium and fluids with the saline.

61
Q

loop diuretics c/I and AEs

A

volume depletion
- liver disease -> hepatic encephalopathy d/t concentration of toxins
- prerenal AKI
- hypercoagulopathy
hypokalemia
alkalosis (H+ loss)

ototoxicity esp. ethacrynic acid
sulfa allergy except ethacrynic acid

62
Q

osmotic diuretics c/i

A

d/t transitory increase in plasma volume:
- CHF
- pulmonary edema

renal impairment: lack of filtration –> accumulation –> volume overload

severe dehydration
hemorrhage incl acute intracranial bleed

63
Q

thiazide diuretics e.g.

A

HCTZ
chlorthalidone
metolazone
indapamide

64
Q

High bicarb

A

”Side effect” of conditions that reabsorb Na
- dehydration, hemorrhage
- metabolic
- dt na-hco3-cotransport

Compensation for respiratory acidosis
- failure toventilate/ breath off co 2
- respiratory depression

65
Q

bicarb reabsorbtion Mx

A

Mostly pct
Carbonic anhydrase urine → cell
Na-hco 3 cotransporter cell → blood
Can reabsorb less or more bicarb - but limited in how muchbicarb it can get rid of because all passive

66
Q

Chronic . Hyperkalemia bicarb

A

Inhibit ammoniagenesis → can’ I get rid of acid

One primary cause- low aldosterone - also → acidosis because Na and hco3 move in same direction ‘

H K exchange also means- if k is high will get rid of k and keep H to try to compensate _ this is more important for explaining opposite, why low k is associated with alkalosis
