Question
Answer
What do in addition to diuresis, what do diuretics do?   Loop and thiazide diuretics cause significant vasodilation --> that's why they are so clinically effective against HTN and heart failure  
🗑
What is the % of Na reabsorption that happens in each of these segments of the renal tubule? Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), Thich ascending limb (TAL), Distal convoluted tubule (DCT), and Collecting tubules/ducts (CT)   PCT - 60%, TAL - 25%, DCT - 10%, CT - 4%  
🗑
What is the consequence ofblockNa reabsorption above the collecting ducts?   more Na traveling along the tubule --> increased Na load to the CT downstream --> inc LOSS of K+ (hypoK+) as well as LOSS of H+ (alkalosis) for loop and thiazide diuretics  
🗑
Where do carbonic anhydrase inhibitors work?   i.e. acetazolamide; in the proximal tubule; H+ + HCO3- ---> H2CO3 ---(carbonic anhydrase)---> H2O + CO2  
🗑
Where do osmotic diuretics work?   i.e. mannitol; throughout the renal tubule (but mainly in PCT)  
🗑
Where do loop diuretics work?   i.e. lasix, furosamide; in the thick ascending limb  
🗑
Where do thiazide diuretics work?   i.e. hydrochlorothiazide; in the early distal convoluted tubule  
🗑
Where do K+ sparing diuretics work?   i.e. amiloride and triamterene (Na channel blockers), spironolactone; early collecting duct  
🗑
Where do aldosterone antagonist diuretics work?   i.e. spironolactone; early collecting duct  
🗑
What do osmotic diurectics do?   inhibits H2O reabsorption --> inc urine volume  
🗑
What would you use osmotic diuretics for specifically?   1. prevent anuria in hemolysis and rhabdomyolysis; 2. facilitates elimination of toxic drugs like cisplatin; 3. can also be used to decrease intraocular and intracerebral pressure because has osmotic actions in ECF of other tissues  
🗑
Adverse effects of osmotic diuretics   NV, chills, electrolyte imbalance, hypovolemia, chest pain  
🗑
What are acetazolamide and dorzolamide? What is the mechanism?   CA inhibs-->inhib of CO2 formation in the lumen-->less CO2 available in cells-->dec intracellular HCO3- -->H+ not regenerated-->not enough H+ for the Na/H antiporter on luminal membrane-->dec Na reabsorp-->more Na & HCO3- to travel downstream in the urine  
🗑
What do you use CA inhibitors for?   1. glaucoma (dec formation of aqueous humor --> dec IOP); 2. acute mntn sickness (dec edema in lungs and brain); 3. thiazide-induced metabolic alkalosis (gets rid of HCO3's); 4. elimination of acidic drugs (like ASA, uric acid)  
🗑
Adverse effects of CA inhibitors   Acidosis (you're losing lots of HCO3-), bicarbonaturia (pee lots of HCO3- out), hypoK+ (huge Na load to CT's downstream --> lose K+), hyperCl- (lose lots of K+ so don't get rid of Cl-); paresthesias, renal stone (hyperCa and phosphaturia)  
🗑
What is ethacrynic acid?   Loop diuretic  
🗑
What is furosemide   Loop diuretic  
🗑
Why do loop diuretics achieve high levels in the tubular lumen?   they are weak acids so they are filtered and secreted --> high levels in lumen  
🗑
What do loop diuretics do?   inhibit Na/K/Cl (all transported from lumen into the cell) cotransporter in the TAL  
🗑
What is the mechanism of loop diuretics?   block Na/K/2Cl cotransporter --> dec K inside cell --> dec K back diffusion out to the lumen --> don't create a + electrical potential --> no driving force to reabsorb Mg and Ca --> loss of Mg, Ca, Na, K, Cl in the urine  
🗑
How do loop diuretics affect what is happening in the CT's?   Na load from loops (TAL) hits downstream at CT's --> enhances loss of K and K  
🗑
What do you use loop diurectics for?   1. acute pulm edema, 2. acute renal failure, 3. anion OD, 4. CHF, 5. hyperCa states, 6. HTN, 7. refractory edemas  
🗑
What are the adverse effects of loop diuretics?   1. allergies, 2. alkalosis (losing H+ in the CT's), 3. hypoK (lose K from CT's), 4. hypoMg, 5. hypoCa, 6. hyperUricemia (too many ions in urine drives urea to be reabsorbed?), 8. hypovolemia, 9. ototoxicity enhanced by aminoglycosides.  
🗑
What are the drug interactions of loop diuretics?   decreases Lithium clearance  
🗑
