Acetazolamid (Diamox)
Contraindications:

- sulfa allergies
Loop Diuretics Actions:
- inhibit the Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter in the thick ascending limb
- reduce NaCl, K+ and divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+) reabsorption
- increase renal blood flow
- rapid response after I.V. administration
- duration of action dependent upon renal function
Loop Diuretics Clinical Uses:
- edematous conditions
- acute pulmonary edema
- acute hypercalcemia
- hyperkalemia
- acute renal failure
- anion overdose
Loop Diuretics toxicities
- dehydration
- hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
- ototoxicity
- hyperuricemia
- hypomagnesemia
Loop diuretics contraindications:
sulfa allergy
Thiazides act
distal convoluted tubule: Na+ Cl- symport inhibitors
chlorthalidone (Hygroton)
thiazide like
indapamide (Lozol)
thiazide like
metolazone (Diulo, Zaroxolyn)
thiazide like
thiazide actions:
- inhibit the NaCl
- reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule
- enhance Ca2+ reabsorption
thiazide clinical uses:
- hypertension
- congestive heart failure
- nephrolithiasis due to idiopathic hypercalciuria
- nephrogenic diabetes inspidus
