Renal Pathology, Diuretics and Anesthesia PP#5 Flashcards
ANP is produced by what?
Atrial Myocytes (heart muscle)
What are 2 functions of ANP?
- Relax smooth muscles
- Promote NaCl (salt) Water excretion
What stimulus causes release of ANP?
Atrial stretch
What is the overall function of ANP?
Reduce volume
What are the 5 ways ANP decreases fluid volume?
- Inhibit Renin
- Inhibit Aldosterone
- Inhibit ADH
- ↓ Salt reabsorption
- ↑ GFR
How does ANP increase GFR?
- Dilation of afferent
- Constriction of efferent
Where does ANP decrease salt reabsorption?
Directly on the Collecting ducts
What is Natrecor?
Recombinant form of B-type naturetic peptide
What other name is Natrecor known by?
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Where is Natrecor (BNP) made?
Ventricular myocardium
What 3 things does Natrecor (BNP) do to treat CHF?
- Vasodilate
- Diuresis
- Natriuresis
Natrecor (BNP) is also used as a lab marker for heart failure, what is a positive finding?
> 500
How do most diuretics work?
- Decrease Na reabsorption from the tubules
- Increased natriuresis
- H20 follows Na (diuresis)
4 Common uses of diuretics.
- ↓ ECF
- Edema
- CHF
- HTN
What happens to diuretics w/ chronic use?
Potency decreases
How do diuretics lose potency after chronic use?
-↓ in ECF will lead to decreases in MAP and GFR and will eventually start the renin - angiotensin system.
Name the 6 types of diuretics.
- Osmotic
- Loop
- Thiazide
- Carbonic anhydraze inhibitors
- Aldosterone inhibitors
- Sodium channel blockers
Name 2 examples of osmotic diuretics
- Urea
- Mannitol
How do osmotics work?
-Draw fluid into tubules
In diabetics glucose can mimic what kind of diuretic?
Osmotic
Give 3 examples of loop diuretics.
- Lasix
- Bumex
- Ethacrynic acid
What do loop diuretics inhibit?
Na-Cl-K co-transporter in the TAL of the loop of Henle
