Triamtrene + HCTZ (maxzide, dyazide) combo therapy
Spironolactone + HCTZ (aldactazide) combo therapy
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: MOA - Early Distal Tubule 1* site; inc flow of Na & H2O to downstream segments of distal tubule; Na reabsorption is 10%
Thiazide Indications: Hypertension 80% efficacy, dec BP; more effective than loops; acutely dec plasma vol, chronically dec periph vasc resistance; 1st therapy w/ClCr >30%; enhances efficacy of other antihypertensives!
Thiazide Indications: Mild and Severe CHF Mild: infreq monotherapy (effective if ClCr >50%); Severe: combo therapy (CHF dec renal blood flow & allows more time for Na reabsorption in prox tubule; minimal efficacy for action in distal tubule)
Thiazide Indications: Acute renal failure management of hypervolemia w/NaCL and H2O restriction
Thiazide Indications: Hyperkalemia w/normal renal function may be used w/loop diuretics
Thiazide Indications: Other Edema
Thiazides: Metabolic Effects - Hyperuricemia compets w/uric acid for secretion from blood into tubules; increases serum uric acid and can cause gouty arthritis
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)
Thiazides: Metabolic Effects - Hyponatremia reduced blood flow vol increases secretion of ADH; increases absorption of H2O dilutes plasma Na
Thiazides: Adverse Drug Reactions Impaired CHO tolerance (impairs insulin release, dec tissue utilization of glucose); Impotence; Hyponatremia; Hemolytic anemia; Thrombocytopenia
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
Loop Diuretics: Proximal Tubule 3* site; weak inhibition of carbonic anhydrase
Loop Diuretics: "Ceiling effect" - Indications dose above which additional effect is not likely; edema, HTN (pts w/impaired renal fxn); CHF; Pts w/renal dysfxn
Loop Diuretics: Adverse Drug Reactions hyponatremia, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis, ototoxicity (reverses if drug is stopped); severe dehydration; hypomagnesemia
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: MOA Distal tubule + Collecting Duct; blocks Na channels in lumen membrane; dec development of relative negative charge at lumen membrane (less diffusion of K into lumen); limited diuretic effect
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Indications - HTN or CHF adjunct with HCTZ (minor enhanced anti-HTN or diuretic effect in combo);
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Indications - Hypokalemia only when persistent hypokalemia is documented (titrate dose and monitor serum electrolytes)
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Indications - HTN or Edema for pts who develop hypokalemia on HCTZ or pts who cannot risk hypokalemia (Hx of cardiac arrhythmias or concomitant digitalis glycosides); enhances effect of antihypertensives
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Adverse Drug Reactions Hyperkalemia, dec glucose tolerance, photosensitivity, N&V, headache
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: WARNING Hyperkalemia (>5.5mEq/L); Amiloride (10% occurance; risk d/t renal impairment, DM, & elderly); Amiloride + HCTZ (risk drops to 1-2%)
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: Contraindications Potassium supplements; Other K+ sparing drugs (angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE-inhibitors)
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
