Q

What diuretics work on the distal tubule?

A

thiazide-type diuretics–> HCTZ

  • inhibit Na+ chloride symporter–> retention of water in the urine, as water normally follows penetrating solutes
  • The long-term anti-hypertensive action is based on the fact that thiazides decrease preload, decreasing blood pressure. On the other hand the short-term effect is due to an unknown vasodilator effect that decreases blood pressure by decreasing resistance.

Q

What happens in the distal tubule?

A

“reabsorption”–> partly responsible for the regulation of potassium, sodium, calcium, and pH

  • primary site for the kidneys’ hormone based regulation of calcium (Ca)
  • cells of the DCT have a thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter and are permeable to Ca, via the TRPV5 channel
  • participates in calcium regulation by reabsorbing Ca2+ in response to parathyroid hormone.
  • regulates pH by absorbing bicarbonate and secreting protons (H+) into the filtrate, or by absorbing protons and secreting bicarbonate into the filtrate.

A

late distal tubule and the collecting duct (primarily the collecting duct)

83
Q

What two functions does aldosterone alter?

A

1) increases the rate of Na+ reabsorption from the late distal tubule and collecting duct and thereby decreases Na+ excretion
2) increases the rate of K+ secretion into the late distal tubule and collecting duct and thereby increasing the rate of K+ excretion

late distal tubule and collecting ducts (7.2%)
*but without aldosterone the late distal tubule and collecting duct are impermeable to Na+

85
Q

What are the major consequences of sodium retention?

A

-ECF volume expansion and increased arterial BP–> more sodium intake= increased osmolality despite normal volume= ingest water= ECF volume expands, but osmolality returns to normal despite increased volume

86
Q

How does the body respond to hypervolemia?

A

1) GFR increases
2) renin release decreases
3) output of ANP increases
=water is excreted along with Na to keep fluid osmolality ~ 300–> this process can take several days

87
Q

How does the body respond to decreased body sodium?

A

If normal volume, but decreased Na+ content= decreased osmolality despite a normal volume= body decreases ADH b\c it thinks the body has too much fluid= normalized ADH now that the body has pissed out more fluid= normal osmolality but a contracted fluid volume

88
Q

How does the body respond to hypovolemia?

A 
promotes Na+ retention
1) GFR decreases
2) renin release increased
3) o\p of ANP decreases
=water retained along with Na+ to maintain 300mOsm
89
Q

With increased aldosterone, K+ excretion is _____.

A

increased

90
Q

Where is the bulk of K+ reabsorbed?

A

proximal tubule= 67%

91
Q

Is there any movement of Na+ or K+ in or out of the descending LOH?

A

Yes, but only by passive secretion as H2O is reabsorbed

92
Q

What 3 factors control K+ transport in the late distal tubule and collecting ducts?

A

1) aldosterone (increases rate of K+ secretion and increases Na+ reabsorption)
2) distal tubular flow rate (K+ secretion in DT is sensitive to tubular fluid flow–> increases in proportion to flow)
3) bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) concentration in tubular fluid–> when HCO3- is increased the K+ secretion rate is increased
* this is why one anecdote to hyperkalemia is administration of Na Bicarbonate–> makes the urine alkaline and induces an increase in K+ secretion; bicarbonate also alkalinizes the blood, driving H+-K+ exchange that drives K+ into the body cells

93
Q

Increased secretion of K+ occurs with what type of diuretics?

A

high ceiling diuretics like furosemide as well as osmotic diuretics like mannitol

94
Q

Name 4 loop diuretics.

A

1) furosemide (lasix)
2) bumetanide (bumex)
3) ethacrynic acid (edecrin)
4) torsemide (demadex)
* inhibits reabsorption of Na, K+, and Cl- in the ascending LOH–> so water follows Na+ out the collecting duct

95
Q

Name 4 thiazide diuretics.

A

1) chlorothiazide (diuril)
2) HCTZ (esidrix, hydrodiuril)
3) chlorothalidone (hygroton)
4) metolazone (zaroxolyn)

96
Q

Name 3 potassium sparing (aldosterone inhibitors) diuretics.

A

1) spironolactone (aldactone)
2) triamterene (dyrenium)
3) amiloride (midamor)

97
Q

Why does BP decrease with the administration of furosemide?

A

d\t the release of prostaglandins from the kidneys–> circulating prostaglandins cause venodilation so BP begins to fall even before urine o\p increases

98
Q

s\e of loop diuretics?

A

hypokalemia, fluid volume deficit, orthostatic hypotension, reversible deafness
*n/v/d with ethacrynic acid

99
Q

What is the MOA of thiazides?

A

inhibit Na+ reabsorption in early distal tubule

100
Q

How do potassium sparing diuretics work?

A

spironolactone competitively inhibits aldosterone–> inhibits Na+ reabsorption in late distal tubule and collecting duct, and decreases K+ secretion

101
Q

s\e of thiazides?

A

hypokalemia d\t increased K+ secretion

102
Q

s\e of K+ sparing diuretics?

A

hyperkalemia

103
Q

Name a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.

A

acetylzolamide (diamox)

104
Q

What is the MOA of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor?

A

inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the proximal tubule of the kidney thereby inhibiting bicarbonate reabsorption–> Na+ reabsorption also diminishes–> inhibition of Na and HCO3- reabsorption promotes diuresis

105
Q

What can result from giving a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, such as diamox?

A

hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis–> d\t discarding of Na+ and HCO3- from less reabsorption

106
Q

Why is acetylzolamide sometimes given to “eye” patients?

A

inhibition of carbonic anhydrase decreases the rate of formation of aqueous humor–> IOP decreases; one of the principle uses of diamox is to decreases intraocular pressure

107
Q

Why is hypokalemia promoted with osmotic diuresis?

A

Mannitol promotes osmotic diuresis–> agent is filtered into bowmans capsule and then trapped in the tubule to exert osmotic force and hinder reabsorption of water–> increasing flow through the distal tubule and collecting duct–> increases K+ secretion

108
Q

How can you differentiate pre-renal vs renal failure?

A

renal failure is tubular necrosis, so during this acute renal failure, the renal tubule reabsorbs sodium poorly so a large amount appears in the urine (FENa is high- fraction of excreted Na); in pre-renal, sodium is extensively reabsorbed because d\t decreased renal BF there is a lot more time for sodium reabsorption–> FENa is LOW

109
Q

What is 3 causes of prerenal perioperative oliguria?

A

1) decreased RBF
2) hypovolemia
3) decreased CO

110
Q

111
Q

Name 3 causes of postrenal perioperative oliguria.

A

1) obstruction of urine flow
2) bilateral ureteral obstruction
3) extravasation d\t bladder rupture

A

creatinine clearance (measures GFR)

119
Q

What are some complications in the renal patient?

A

1) chronic anemia–> decreased erythropoietin–> treatment with recombinant erythropoietin until Hct reaches 30-33%
2) pruritus
3) coagulopathies–> treat with adequate dialysis and elevation of Hct–> the abnormal bleeding tendency is in despite of normal coag tests (PTT, PT, INR)

120
Q

What is the cause of pruritus in renal patients?

A

increased levels of histamine–> this is decreased with erythropoietin administration b\c it lowers the plasma concentration of histamine

121
Q

What are the 4 main electrolyte disturbances in chronic renal failure?

A

1) hypocalcemia
2) hyperphosphatemia
3) hyperkalemia
4) hypermagnesemia

122
Q

What is the most serious electrolyte disturbance in chronic renal failure?

A

hyperkalemia–> d\t EKG changes (peaked T, prolonged PR interval, widened QRS, heart block, PVCs and ventricular fibrillation

123
Q

Why should you avoid LR administration in renal patients?

A

because LR contains 4meQ/L K+

124
Q

You should avoid elective surgery until K+ is < _____ in renal patients.

A

5.5

125
Q

Name 7 strategies to decrease K levels.

A

1) administer calcium (fastest, but does not correct K+)
2) hyperventilation (lowers K 0.5 per 10mmHg decrease in PaCO2
3) insulin-glucose
4) B2 agonist
5) loop diuretic
6) kayexalate
7) dialysis

126
Q

What is the cause of hypocalcemia in renal patients?

A

1) diminished renal production of the active form of vitamin D
2) hyperphosphatemia resulting from decreased GFR–> reciprocal decrease in plasma calcium concentration

127
Q

Which type of NMB’s are potentiated by hypermagnesemia?

A

non-depolarizers and depolarizers

128
Q

______ % of patients with ESRD have HTN.

A

80%

129
Q

Acute pericardial tamponade is the life threatening complication of __________ ___________>

A

uremic pericarditis

130
Q

________ is the MOST serious problem facing renal failure patients.

A

infection–> sepsis is most common cause of death in patients with renal failure
