Q

How do most diuretics work?

A
  • Decrease Na reabsorption from the tubules
  • Increased natriuresis
  • H20 follows Na (diuresis)

Q

How do diuretics lose potency after chronic use?

A

-↓ in ECF will lead to decreases in MAP and GFR and will eventually start the renin - angiotensin system.

23
Q

How does na/cl/k pump inhibition cause diuresis?

A

-Increasing solutes in which draws fluid into tubule.

24
Q

What causes the counter current multiplier to be disrupted with loop diuretics?

A

-interstitium can’t become hyperosmolar

25
Q

What is an example of a thiazide diuretic?

A

HCTZ

26
Q

How do thiazide diuretics work?

A

Inhibit NaCl (salt) reabsorption in the early distal tubule

27
Q

What is an example of a Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor diuretic?

A

-Acetazolamide (Diamox)

28
Q

How does carbonic anhydrase work?

A

-Reduce Na+ by decreasing bicarb

29
Q

What is the disadvantage of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors?

A

Acidosis through bicarb loss

30
Q

What is an example of an aldosterone antagonist?

A

Spironolactone (aldactone)

31
Q

How does aldosterone antagonists work?

A

Decrease Na reabsorption by competing with aldosterone binding sites.

32
Q

What two diuretics spare K?

A
  • Aldosterone antagonists

- Na channel blockers

33
Q

What is an example of Na channel blocker?

A
  • Amiloride

- Triamterene

34
Q

How does Na channel blocker work?

A

Decrease activity of Na/K pump in the collecting duct and decreases Na reabsorption

35
Q

Acute renal failure is ________ reversible

A

potentially

36
Q

Chronic renal failure is an irreversible decrease in what?

A

Functional nephrons

37
Q

What do end stage renal patients need to live?

A

Dialysis

38
Q

What are the 3 types of acute renal failure?

A

Pre-renal
Intra-renal
Post-renal

39
Q

What are 2 examples of acute pre-renal failure?

A
  • Heart failure

- Hypovolemia

40
Q

In acute pre-renal kidney failure, the kidney does not get enough ________, and becomes _________.

A
  • Blood

- Ischemic

41
Q

What is acute intra-renal kidney failure?

A

Damage to the kidney

42
Q

What can cause Acute intra-renal kidney failure?

A
  • Toxins
  • Infection
  • Autoimmune
  • Direct injury
43
Q

What is an acute post-renal kidney failure?

A

Obstruction of collecting system

44
Q

What 4 examples of acute post-renal kidney failure?

A
  • Stones
  • Urethral valves
  • Tied off ureter
  • Kinked foley
45
Q

When do chronic renal symptoms appear?

A

w/ at least 70% of nephrons not working

46
Q

4 things that cause chronic renal injury.

A
  • Renal vascular injury
  • Glomerulonephritis
  • Infection
  • Nephrotic syndrome
47
Q

What 3 things cause injury to renal vasculature?

A
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Fibromuscular dysplasia
  • Nephrosclerosis
48
Q

What is nephrosclerosis?

A

sclerotic lesion to small arteries

49
Q

3 causes of glomerulonephritis

A
  • deposition antigen-antibody complexes (most commmon)
  • Sterptococcal infection
  • Lupus
50
Q

What is vesicoureteral reflux?

A
  • Bladder fails to occlude ureter

- Urine moves up into kidney

51
Q

Describe nephrotic syndrome.

A
  • Loss of negative charge in basement membrane of glomerulus

- Leads to protein in urine

52
Q

What are the effects renal failure on the body?

A
  • Edema (generalized & Pulm)
  • Acidosis
  • Nitorgeneous waste build-up
  • Anemia
  • Increase in K
  • Glucose intolerance
  • Platelet/WBC dydfunction
  • Gastric ulcers
  • Perpherial neuropathy
53
Q

What are the effects renal failure on the Heart?

A

Increase in CO to compensate for decreased O2 capacity

54
Q

What are the effects renal failure on the respiratory system?

A
  • Decreased minute ventilation to compensate for acidosis

- Autonomic neuropathy decreases gastric emptying = increased risk of aspiration.

55
Q

How does renal failure cause Osteomalacia?

A
  • Decrease in Vitamin D = no calcium absorption

- Elevated phosphate stimulates parathyroid which causes skeletal demineralization

56
Q

How does renal failure cause HTN?

A
  • Kidney lesion ↓ H2O and Na excretion.

- The body compensates w/ HTN to force out the H2O and Na

57
Q

How does one damaged kidney effect the good kidney?

A

Renin and Angiotensin 2, needed for the bad kidney, also affects good kidney and drive up BP
