Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System and Diuretics Flashcards

1
Q

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEIs)

  1. ) Drugs available ?
  2. ) Indication?
  3. ) protection effect?
  4. ) ADR’s?
A

1.) agents that end it “pril”

2.)
HTN-post MI
Systolic HF
Chronic Kidney Disease

3.)
Has renal protection effect, BUT can cause acute renal failure when first taken

4.)
•Dry cough (5-20%)difference maker b/w ACEI’s and ARBs
•Angioedema
•Hyperkalemia

Q

Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB’s)

  1. ) Drugs available ?
  2. ) Indication?
  3. ) protection effect?
  4. ) ADR’s?
A

1.) • Anything that ends in ‘Sartan’
o Like Losartan

2.)
• HTN-Post MI
• Heart Failure
• Chronic kidney disease protection → potential for initial AKI

3.)Has renal protection effect, BUT can cause acute renal failure when first taken

4.)
• Angioedema (potential cross-sensitivity with ACEI’s)
o Less likely to develop then ACEI’s
• Hyperkalemia Less aldosteroneLess K retention
o Important with DDIs

Q

Sacubitril
1.) Indication?

  1. ) Drug Class?
  2. ) Should be combined with and why?
A
  1. ) For Heart failure
  2. ) Neprilysin Inhibitor (ANRI)

3.)Sacubitril + ARB
→ Not and ACEI because they both increase bradykinin

Q

Spironlactone

  1. ) Drug Class?
  2. ) Indication?
  3. ) ADR’s?
  4. ) C/I?
A
  1. ) potassium sparing diuretics–aldosterone antagonist
  2. ) Use in CHF/HTN/MI (E>S)

3.) Adverse Effects:
• Hyper-K***
→ C/I with other potassium sparing agents (ACEIs/ARBs)

•	Endocrine ADRs (S>>>E)
o	Gynecomastia
o	Impotence 
•	Hyper-Uricemia
•	Arrhythmias 

4.) C/I with ACEI’s and ARBs
→ ACEI’s and ARBs have an ADR of Hyperkalemia as well so the combination could cause an Arrhythmia
