| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Diuretic Drugs | Drugs that accelerate the rate of urine formation Result: removal of sodium and water |
| Diuretic Drugs types | Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors Loop diuretics Osmotic diuretics Potassium-sparing diuretics Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics |
| CAI: Mechanism of Action | CAIs blocks carbonic anhydrase= preventing exchange of H+ ions w/ Na & H20 distally to glomerulus Inhibit of carbonic anhydrase=↓ H+ ion concentration in renal tubules→ ↑ excretion of bicarb, Na+H2O & K+ Resorption H20 ↓ urine volume is ↑ |
| CAI drugs | acetazolamide (Diamox), methazolamide, Dichlorphenamide |
| Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: Indications | Long management open angle glaucoma short term w/ miotics ↓ intraocular pressure Edema 2nd to HF=others aren’t effective CAI are ↓ potent loop diuretics/thiazides metabolic acidosis↓ diuretic effect in 2-4days Epilepsy High-altitude sick |
| CAI Adverse Effects | **Metabolic acidosis** Anorexia Hematuria Photosensitivity Melena (blood in stool) **Hypokalemia** Drowsiness Paresthesias Urticaria |
| CAI drug-drug interactions | Digitalis + coticosteroids b/c they both cause ↓ K+ Amphetamines, carbamazepine, cyclosporine, phenytoin, and quinidine can cause toxic (to those drugs) |
| Loop Diuretics | bumetanide (Bumex) ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) furosemide (Lasix) Torsemide |
| Lood Diuretics- MOA | Act directly on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit Cl- & Na+ reabsorption b/p, PVR, SVR, CVP, LVEDP |
| Loop Diuretics: Drug Effects | Fast acting. Only last for 2 hours ↓ fluid volume causes: ↓BP ↓ pulmonary vascular resistance ↓ systemic vascular resistance ↓ central venous pressure ↓ left ventricular end-diastolic pressure Potassium and sodium depletion |
| Loop Diuretics: Contraindications | Allergy, sulfonamide antibiotics, hepatic coma, and severe electrolyte loss. Potassium levels 3-5.3 |
| Loop Diuretics: Adverse Effects | Dizziness, headache, tinnitus, blurred vision N/V/D Agranulocytosis, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia Hypokalemia, hyperglycemia,hyperuricemia **major adverse effect is electrolyte disturbance Prolong use can cause hearing loss from ototoxicity |
| Osmotic Diuretics MOA | Work in entire nephron osmotic effect Pull H20 into renal tubules from surrounding tissues Inhibits tubular resorption of H2O & solutes → ↑ diuresis vasodilation → prevents kidney damage during acute renal failure↓ excessive intraocular pressure |
| Osmotic Drugs | mannitol (Osmitrol) |
| Osmotic Indication | Used in the treatment in early oliguric phase of ARF To promote the excretion of toxic substances ↓ intracranial pressure Treatment of cerebral edema NOT indicated for peripheral edema b/c it doesn’t excrete ↑ Na+ |
| Osmotic Adverse Effects | Convulsions, Thrombophlebitis, Pulmonary congestion Also headaches, chest pains, tachycardia, blurred vision, chills, & fever |
| osmotic interventions | Intravenous infusion only. Filter is required May crystallize when exposed to low temperatures (keep in warm area) |
| Potassium-Sparing Diuretics Also known as aldosterone-inhibiting diuretics | amiloride (Midamor) spironolactone (Aldactone) triamterene (Dyrenium) |
| Potassium-Sparing Diuretics MOA | Work in collecting ducts/distal convoluted tubules Interfere with Na-K exchange Competitively bind to aldosterone receptors Block the resorption of Na& H20 Prevent K from being pumped into the tubule= no secretion ↑ excretion of Na& H20 |
| K sparing indications: | spironolactone and triamterene Hyperaldosteronism Hypertension Reversing the potassium loss → potassium-losing drugs Certain cases of heart failure Amiloride - Treatment of HF |
| K sparing ADR | CNS - Dizziness, headache; GI - Cramps, n/v/d; Other urinary frequency, weakness, **hyperkalemia** |
| Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics | Thiazide diuretics bendroflumethiazide hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, HydroDIURIL) chlorothiazide (Diuril) indapamide Thiazide-like diuretics chlorthalidone (Hygroton) metolazone (Mykrox, Zaroxolyn) |
| Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics: MOA | Inhibit tubular resorption of sodium, chloride, and potassium ions Action primarily in the distal convoluted tubule Result: water, sodium, and chloride are excreted Potassium is also excreted to a lesser extent Dilate the arterioles by direct relaxati |
| Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics: indications | HTN, Edematous states,hepatic cirrhosis,corticosteroid/estrogen therapy Idiopathic hypercalciuria DI, HF from diastolic dysfunction **Thiazides shouldn't be used if creatinine clearance is <30-50 mL/min (WNL 125 mL/min) |
| Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics ADR: | Dizziness, HA, blured vision, paresthesia, decreased libido, anorexia, N/V/D, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, impotence, jaundice, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, anemia, urticaria, photosensitivity, hypokalemia, hypochloremic alkalosis, hyperuricemia, |
| Thiazide and Thiazide-like Diuretics drug interactions | Corticosteroids Lithium Digoxin Diazoxide NSAIDS Oral hypoglycemia |

| NTG: conraindications | Drug allergies, severe anemia, closed-angle glaucoma, hypotension, severe head injury Erective dysfunction drugs: |
| NTG: ADR | HA, Tachycardia, postural hypotension |
| NTG implications | Never to chew or swallow,Constipation is a common problem Avoid alcohol, hot tubs, saunas, excessive exertions vaso dila Lie down after administration |
| Beta blockers- end in "olol" | Angina Antihypertensive |
