Question
Answer
MOA mannitol   creates an osmotic diuresis because it can't leave the tubule inhibits Na and Cl reabsorption in PC and ascendin loop  
🗑
clinical uses of mannitol   to decrease intractranial pressure or intraocular pressure through volume depletion  
🗑
side effects of mannitol   can cause pulmonary edema d/t extracellular volume expansion, pulling water out of cells hypernatremia  
🗑
contraindications of mannitol   CHF pulmonary edema anuria severe renal failure severe dehydration  
🗑
how is mannitol administered?   parenterally (poorly absorbed PO)  
🗑
MOA spironolactone   K sparing diuretic, antagonizes aldosterone in the DCT, inhibiting Na reabsorption  
🗑
what effect does spironolactone have on Ca   decreases serum Ca levels by directly inhibiting its transport in the DCT  
🗑
clinical uses of spironolactone   HTN pulmonary edema edema from CHF or cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome primary hyperaldosteronism  
🗑
side effects of spironolactone   gynecomastia (and other anti-androgenic effects) hyperkalemia hyponatremia hypochlroemic acidosis (blocks aldosterone's effect on Na/H antiporter)  
🗑
MOA amiloride   K sparing diuretic, directly inhibits Na reabsorption, independent of aldosterone increased Ca reabsorption  
🗑
uses of amiloride   treats ca stones  
🗑
differences between amiloride and triamterene?   MOA similar, but triampterene has shorter t1/2  
🗑
MOA furosemide   loop diuretic, blocking NKCC increased urinary excretion of K, Mg, Ca increases RBF without altering GFR  
🗑
clinical uses for furosemide   edema to increase urine output in ARF (although it doesn't alter the course of ARF) hypercalcemia hyperkalemia  
🗑
side effects of furosemide   K wasting metabolic alkalosis Mg depletion ototoxicity hyperuricemia  
🗑
why does hyperuricemia result from furosemide use?   increases urate reabsorption d/t increased proximal Na reabsorption  
🗑
contraindication of furosemide   sulfa allergy  
🗑
which is the only loop diuretic without a sulfa group?   ethacrynic acid  
🗑
MOA HCTZ?   block NaCl transport at the DCT Enhanced Ca reaborption (because Na and Ca compete for ATP dependent reabsorption at DCT)  
🗑
clinical uses of HCTZ?   HTN edema DI (by inducing mild volume depletion) to stop recurrent renal calcium stones  
🗑
contraindication of HCTZ   sulfa allergy  
🗑
side effects of HCTZ   hyperglycemia hyperlipidemia hyperuricemia hypercalcemia melabolic alkalosis Mg depletion  
🗑
MOA acetazolamide   Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor so it inhibits the reabsorption of HCO3- in PCT also CA is in ciliary body of eye and in choroid plexus cells, so it decreases aqueous humor production and increases CSF production  
🗑
uses for acetazolamide   acute altitude sickness glaucoma treatment for alkalosis facilitate eexcretion of weak acid (as seen in tumor lysis syndrome)  
🗑
side effects of acetazolamide   encephalopathy (from decreased excretion of NH3 in urine) renal stones b/c calcium phosphate is less soluble in alkaline urine hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis  
🗑
contraindications of acetazolamide   sulfa allergy hepatic or renal dz hyperchloremic acidosis hyponatremia hypokalemia  
🗑
what effect does furosemide have on the following serum levels: K HCO3 Ca Mg urate   decreased increased decreased decreased increased  
🗑
what effect does thiazide have on the following serum levels: K HCO3 Ca Mg urate   decrease increase increased decreased increased  
🗑
what effect does spironolactone have on the following serum levels: K HCO3 Ca Mg urate   increased decreased decreased none none  
🗑
what effect does amiloride have on the following serum levels: K HCO3 Ca Mg urate   increased decreased increased none none  
🗑
what effect does acetazolamide have on the following serum levels: K HCO3 Ca Mg urate   decreased decreased none none none  
🗑
which diuretics decrease Mg?   furosemide HCTZ  
🗑
which diuretics increase urate?   furosemide HCTZ  
🗑
contraindication of spironolactone   acute renal failure  
🗑
MOA nitroprusside   vasodilation of arteries and veins contact with RBC --> decomposition of drug and release of NO NO, via activation of guanylate cyclase --> vasodilation  
🗑
clinical uses of nitroprusside   HTN crisis aortic dissection (must be given with B blocker) CHF  
🗑
side effects of nitroprusside   hypotension reflex tachy CN release  
🗑
contraindications for nitroprusside   known inadequate cerebral circulation hepatic/renal dz (increases thiocyanate toxicity)  
🗑
MOA nitroglycerine   via guanylate cyclase --> increase cGMP which activates cAMP protein dependent kinases and leads to dephosphorylation of myosin light chains and decreased intracellular Ca --> relaxation of veins and increased venous capacitance  
🗑
uses of nitroglyceride   treats angina (decresae coronary asospasm) CHF HTN  
🗑
side effects of nitroglycerine   hypotension, tachycardia, throbbing HA from meningeal arterial dilation  
🗑
MOA captopril   ACE inhibitor blocks formation of AII and degradation of bradykinin so, inhibits constriction of efferent arteriole, and potentiates vasodilation caused by bradykinin also causes venous vasodilation  
🗑
uses of captopril   HTN CHF ischemic heart disease decreases proteinuria and progression of nephropathy in diabetics  
🗑
side effects of captopril   cough from increased bradykinin can cause renal insufficiency b/c GFR is not increased in low volume states  
🗑
contraindications of captopril   renal insufficiency bilateral renal artery stenosis  
🗑
MOA losartan   AII receptor blocker  
🗑
uses of losartan   HTN CHF  
🗑
side effects of losartan   no cough can't maintain GFR by vasodilation of efferent arterioles  
🗑
MOA milrinone   inhibits PDE III --> dilation of arteries and veins PDE III inactivates cAMP, so this process is inhibited --> increased Ca reflux in myocardium, with increased cardiac contractility  
🗑
uses of milrinone   refractory CHF can increase mortality, and should ONLY be used if diuretics, digoxin, and vasodilators have failed a-fib  
🗑
side effects of milrinone   ventricular arrhythmias hypotension hepatotoxicity  
🗑
MOA sildenafil   blocks PDE V action (thus potentiating the action of cGMP dependent kinases that activate phosphatases that encourage the relaxation of smoooth muscle) also decreases the Ca concnetration --> smooth muscle relaxation  
🗑
MOA digoxin   blocks the Na-K pump --> increased Na intracellularly this inhibits the Na concentration gradient from forming, blocking the Ca from leaving the cells this improves cardiac contractility also slows the conduction through AV node  
🗑
uses of digoxin   CHF a fib, a flutter (slows conduction through AV node)  
🗑
side effects of digoxin   narrow therapeutic window visual disturbances, nausea, blurred vision a-tac and AV block can result  
🗑
contraindication of digoxin   hypokalemia 2nd/3rd degree heart block WPW who develop a-fib --> increased impulses through accessory pathway --> VF  
🗑
what abnormalities can be seen on the EKG on a person taking digoxin   incresaed PR, decreased QT, scooping of ST segments, T wave inversion  
🗑
