Thiazides (amboss ir UW) Flashcards
Thiazides agents?
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)
Chlorthalidone
Chlorothiazide
Metolazone
Indications?
Hypertension
Chronic edema (secondary to congestive HF, cirrhosis, and kidney disease)
Prevention of calcium kidney stones, idiopathic hypercalciuria
Osteoporosis
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Sequential nephron blockade
Why thiazides used for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus?
Paradoxically, thiazide diuretics are able to reduce the volume of urine in patients with diabetes insipidus. The mechanism of action is not yet fully understood.
Sequential nephron blockade. What medications?
Loops+thiazides
What do Na and Cl cotransporters in early DCT?
reabsorb Na and Cl
Mechanism of thiazides?
Inhibition of Na+-Cl- cotransporters in the early DCT → ↑ excretion of Na+ (saluresis) and Cl- → ↓ diluting capacity of nephron (CIA MAIN MECHANISM) and ↑ excretion of potassium (kaliuresis) and ↓ excretion of calcium → diuresis
Why in thiazides decr. calcium excretion?
Increased secretion of sodium into the lumen of the tubules leads to an increased exchange of sodium and potassium in the late distal tubule via the luminal ENaC and ROMK channels, resulting in increased potassium excretion
Thiazides effect on calcium?
increased reabsorption
Decreased intracellular Na levels increase the activity of the basolateral Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in the cells of the distal convoluted tubule. Sodium is transported into, and calcium out of, the cell, resulting in decreased intracellular calcium concentration that leads to increased reabsorption from the lumen via luminal Ca2+ channels. Calcium reabsorption may also be increased because of increased uptake of sodium and calcium in the proximal tubule as a result of sodium depletion.
Thiazides effect on smooth muscle cells?
vasodilation
Thiazides effect on pancreatic beta cells?
decreased insulin release
Side effects of thiazides?
Hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis Hyponatremia Hypomagnesemia Hypercalcemia Hyperglycemia [11] Hyperlipidemia (↑ cholesterol, triglycerides) Hyperuricemia Allergic reactions (sulfonamide hypersensitivity)
To avoid hypokalemia, thiazide diuretics may be combined with………
potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., aldosterone receptor antagonists).
Side effect of thiazides - hypercalcemia. For what patients is benefitial?
Beneficial in patients with osteoporosis
Thiazides how cause hyperglycemia?
The exact mechanism is not fully understood. It is suggested to involve decreased insulin release and glucose uptake, as well as increased insulin resistance. Therefore, thiazide diuretics should be avoided in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Avoid thiazide diuretics in patients with metabolic syndrome or hypercholesterolemia.
.
in osteoporosis what diuretics may be beneficial?
thiazides (causes hypercalcemia)
hyperGLUC meaning?
hyperGlycemia, hyperLipidemia, hyperUricemia, and hyperCalcemia.
contraindications of thiazides?
Hypersensitivity (including hypersensitivity to any sulfonamide medications)
Gout
Anuria
Severe hypokalemia
