Question 13

Types of diuretics

Answer 13

Thiazide
Loop
Potassium-Sparing
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
Osmotic

Question 14

Thiazide diuretics

Answer 14

Most widely used
Affect distal convoluted tubule
All have same Emax, different potencies
Effective orally
1-3 weeks for stable blood pressure reduction
- “low ceiling diuretics” = giving more than therapeutically required won’t do anything

Question 15

Thiazide diuretics affect which transporter

Answer 15

• Na/Cl cotransporter on luminal membrane

- in distal convoluted tubule

Question 16

Thiazide diuretics enter lumen where and how

Answer 16

• Secreted into the lumen in the proximal tubule via the organic acid secretory system

Question 17

Thiazide diuretic actions

Answer 17

 Increased excretion of Na and Cl
 Very hyperosmolar urine
 Unique to thiazides
 Loss of K+ (Na/K countertransport mech on luminal side)
 Sodium concentration in filtrate is high when it reaches distal tubule
 More K+ is exchanged for Na+
 Loss of Mg2+ (supplementation of Mg2+ required with chronic use)
 Decreased excretion of calcium
 Increased reabsorption in distal convoluted tubule
 Reduced PVR
 Over time volume status returns but PVR remains low

Question 18

Thiazide diuretics therapeutic uses

Answer 18

 Hypertension
 Heart failure
 Hypercalciuria
 Diabetes insipidus

Question 19

Thiazide diuretics adverse effects

Answer 19

 Potassium depletion
 Hyponatremia
 Hyperuricemia
 Volume depletion
 Hypercalcemia
 Hyperglycemia

Question 20

Loop diuretics

Answer 20

 Major action on ascending Loop of Henle
 Act on luminal side
 Highest efficacy in removing Na+ and Clfrom
the body
 Produce copious amounts of urine
 Oral or IV
 Rapid onset, short duration (2-4 hours)
- greatest diuretic effect

Question 21

Loop diuretics act on what transporter

Answer 21

• Na/2Cl/K cotransporter luminal membrane

- ascending loop of henle

Question 22

Loop diuretics and renal blood flow

Answer 22

 Quick response
 May increase renal blood flow due to prostaglandin synthesis
 NSAIDS inhibit renal prostaglandin synthesis and can reduce the diuretic action

Question 23

Loop diuretics therapeutic uses

Answer 23

 Peripheral and pulmonary edema (HF)
 Emergency situations (Acute pulmonary edema)
 Hypercalcemia
 Hyperkalemia
- Diuretic of choice even in patients with compromised renal function

Question 24

Loop diuretics perfusion uses

Answer 24

 Remove extra fluid on CPB
 Treat hyperkalemia
 Help maintain urine production and renal function

Question 25

Adult pump dose of loop diuretics

Answer 25

20-40 mg bolus

Question 26

Loop diuretics adverse effects

Answer 26

 Ototoxicity
 Hyperuricemia
 Acute hypovolemia
 Potassium depletion
 Hypomagnesemia

Question 27

Potassium-sparing diuretics: aldosterone antagonists

Answer 27

 Block aldosterone action
 Mediator proteins that normally stimulate the Na+/K+ pump are not produced
 Retention of K+
 Excretion of Na+

Question 28

Potassium-sparing diuretics: aldosterone antagonists therapeutic uses

Answer 28

 Diuresis
 Low efficacy in removing Na+ from body
 Useful for retention of K+
 Given in conjunction with thiazide or loop diuretics
 Secondary hyperaldosteronism
 Hepatic cirrhosis
 Nephrotic syndrome
 Heart failure
 Resistant hypertension
 Ascites
 Polycystic ovary syndrome (high androgen levels)

Question 29

Potassium-sparing diuretics: aldosterone antagonists adverse effects

Answer 29

 Gynecomastia in male patients
 Menstrual irregularities in female patients
 Hyperkalemia
 Mental confusion

Question 30

Potassium-sparing diuretics: Sodium channel blockers

Answer 30

• the Na/K counterstransport blocked
   Not very efficacious
   Used in combination with other diuretics for potassium sparing effects
   Prevent the loss of potassium that occurs with thiazide and loop diuretics

Question 31

Potassium-sparing diuretics: Sodium channel blockers adverse effects

Answer 31

 Increased uric acid
 Renal stones
 K+ retention

Question 32

Carbonic Anhydrase inhibitors

Answer 32

 Much less efficacious than thiazide or loop diuretics
 Often used for other pharmacologic actions
 Inhibits carbonic anhydrase of proximal tubule

Question 33

Carbonic Anhydrase inhibitors therapeutic uses

Answer 33

 Glaucoma
 Correction of metabolic alkalosis
 Mountain sickness

Question 34

Osmotic diuretics - Mannitol (osmitrol)

Answer 34

 Alcohol and a sugar (similar to xylitol or sorbitol)
 Not absorbed orally
 IV

Question 35

Osmotic diuretics - Mannitol (osmitrol) mechanism of action

Answer 35

 Elevates blood plasma osmolality
 Enhanced flow of water from tissues into the plasma
 Elevates tubular filtrate osmolality
 Filtered, but not reabsorbed
 Facilitates water excretion
 Reduces water reabsorption
 Inhibits reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and other solutes

Question 36

Osmotic diuretics therapeutic uses

Answer 36

 Reduce intracranial pressure
 Acute renal failure
         Shock
         Drug toxicity
         Trauma
         Maintaining urine flow preserves long term kidney function!
