| Diuretics defined | inc water and solute excretion |
| Natriuresis defined | increased excretion of Na in urine |
| Diuresis defined | increased urine outflow |
| Osmosis | net diffusion of water across selectively permeable membrane from region of high water conc. to region of lower water concen |
| Reabsorption of Na and Water | Proximal tubue (65% and 65%); Descending loop (15% water); Ascending loop (25% Na), Distal collecting duct (10% and 20%) |
| Proximal Tubule | highly permeable to H2O, Na reabsorption to interstitial fluid creates [ ] diff that results in osmosis of water in same direction in a 1:1 ratio; reabsorbes 65% of filtered Na, K, and H2O |
| Proximal Tubule: Early | Na is countertransported via Na-H exchange which is linked to HCO3 reabsorption |
| Proximal Tubule: Middle and Late | Na is reabsorbed w/Cl |
| Descending Limb | freely permeable to H2O; impermeable to Na and K |
| Ascending Limb | "diluting segment" - dec lumen osmolarity; impermeable to H2O; Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (25% filtered Na, 20% filtered K, NaCl reabsorbed w/o H2O); **good site for drug target** |
| Distal Tubule: Early | "cortical diluteing segment" - dec lumen osmolarity; reabsorbs 10% of filtered Na; impermeable to H2O, Na-Cl cotransporter, NaCl reabsorbed w/o H2O |
| Late Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct: Principal Cells | aldosterone increases reabsorption of Na and secretion of K; Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, AVP, vasopressin) increases reabsorption of H2O |
| Late Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct: Intercalated Cells | Aldosterone increases secretion of H by H-ATPase pump |
| Osmotic Diuretics: Proximal Tubule | limit osmosis of H2O from lumen to interstitial space |
| Osmotic Diuretics: Descending Loop | Cannot reabsorb increased load of H2O and Na |
| Osmotic Diuretics: Ascending Loop | Increased load of H2O and Na reduces efficiency of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter |
| Osmotic Diuretics: Distal Tubule and Collecting Ducts | cannot reabsorb increased load of H2O and Na |
| Collecting Tubule | reabsorbs 2-5% of filtered Na; final site of NaCl reabsorption; determines final urine [Na]; regulated blood vol; |
| Collecting Tubule: Principal Cells - Distinct Na and K Channels | Na reabsorption > K reabsorption; Lumen negative potential (+75 to +60mV) inc K secretion; Inc Na delivery to collecting tubule inc K secretion into lumen |
| General characteristics of diuretics | inhibit absorption of Na & H2O; ptn-bound, not freely filtered at glomerulus, secreted into prox tubule & subject to compet inhib; Dec ECF vol (d/t Na & H2O excretion; limited d/t breaking phenomena: Na/H2O reaborption inc in segments not inhibited |
| Relative Naturetic Potency of Various Diuretics | Loop (20-25%) > Osmotic (>10%); > Thiazide (5%) > K+ Sparing (1-3%) > Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor (1-3%) |
| Mechanism of Action for Osmotic Diuretics - Descending Limb | proximal tubule is secondary site; Rx reduces Na and H2O reabsorption; inc osmotic pressure w/in lumen opposes H2O reabsorption, continued Na reabsorption dec [Na] in lumen causing backflux of interstitial Na into lumen |
| Osmotic Diuretics: MOA - Expanded ECF | decreases renin release (less vasoconstriction), inc renal blood flow, inc NaCL reabsorption from medulla; hypotonic medulla = less reabsorption of H2O from descending limb; Result: dilute NaCL entering ascending limb |
| Summary of Osmotic Diuretics: Ascending limb, distal tubule and collecting duct | Ascending limb (reduced NaCl reabsorption d/t dilute filtrate); Distal Tubule + Collecting Duct (cannot reabsorb inc Na and H2O load) |
| Osmotic Diuretics: Indications | Dec intraocular pressure prior to ocular surgery; Reduce cerebral edema (used to extract H2O d/t inc osmotic pressure of plasma); Maintain renal blood flow during surgery |
| Osmotic Diuretics: Adverse Drug Reactions | ECF expansion: worsening CHF and pulm edema; reversible acute renal dysfxn; N &V, headache, dehydration |
| Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: metabolic effects and indications | Urinary alkalization (enhance excretion of weak acids which are ionized in alk pH (aspirin, uric acid); Open angle glaucoma (dec aq humor synth 50% ); Acute mountain sickness (dec synth of CSF, pulm/cerebral edema); Use as diuretic for metabolic acidosis |
| Thiazides: MOA - Proximal Tubule | 2* site; binds to Cl site of NaCl; dec Na reabsorption; inc flow of Na & H2O to ascending limb; diuresis limited b/c most Na is absorbed prior to DCT |

| Thiazides: Metabolic Effects - Hypokalemia | onset w/in hrs of first dose; lowest pt ~1mo; it takes several wks to restore normal serum K after stopping drug |
| Thiazides: Hypokalemia normal mechanism | late distal + collecting ducts: basolat lumen membrane (Na-K-ATPase establishes Na/K gradient); Lumen Surface Membrane (Na diffuses thru Na channels to cell interior; relative neg charge of lumen inc K diffusion into lumen) |

| Loop Diuretics: Ascending loop | 1* site; Inhibits Na-K-2Cl cotransporter; inc delivery of Na and Cl to distal tubule; distal tubule & collecting ducts do not reabsorb extra Na and Cl |
| Loop Diuretics: Descending Loop | 2* site; inhibits Na reabsorption into interstitial fluid surrounding loop of henle; reduces osmolarlity of interstitial fluid; there is less reabsorption or H2O from descending loop |

| Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Spironolactone - Adverse Drug Reactions, Warnings, Contraindications | reversible gynecomastia; similar to other K sparing diuretics |
| Combo Diuretic Therapy | loop resistance; NSAIDs block prostaglandin-ind release of renal blood flow; chronic renal failure (dec RBF dec diuretic delivery to kidney; inc organic acids compete w/diuretics for secretion into prox tubule); Inc lumen Na d/t block reab by DCT |
| Combined Rx: Loop + Thiazide Diuretic | may result in large diuresis (requires close hemodynamic monitoring); K loss may be significant (monitor); few pts are refractory at start; 2 drugs acting at diff sites may be synergistic |
