Question
Answer
diuretics   Increase rate of urine flow and excretion of excess fluid tx for HTN, HF, kidney failure, liver failure/cirrhosis, or pulmonary edema.  
🗑
Three types of diuretics   Loop diuretics thiazides potassium sparing  
🗑
Electrolyte   Small charge molecules essential to homeostasis. Too little or too much can result in serious complications and must be quickly corrected  
🗑
Kidney/renal failure   pt's w/ Renal impairment have increased risk of drug toxicity. Lower doses are indicated. labs: urinalysis serum creatinine (CR) blood urea nitrogen (BUN) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR).  
🗑
Adverse effects of all diuretics   Fluid and electrolyte disturbances dehydration orthostatic hypotension (sitting, standing, lying) potassium and sodium and balances  
🗑
Furosemide/ Lasix bumetanide/ Bumex   Loop diuretics act by blocking the reabsorption NA+ and CL- in the loop of Henle to reduce edema w heart hepatic renal failure HTN. action: HF/HTN admin: check K+ & Preg Cat C. side: hypokalemia dehydration hypotension hypovolemia syncope ototoxicity  
🗑
loop diuretics- contraindictions/ drug interactions   contrain: Hypersensitivity anuria the hepatic coma drug: cardiac glycosides w digoxin monitored. no w aminoglycoside antibiotics poss nephrotoxicity & ototoxicity. loop w/ K+ depleting corticosteroids, amphotercin B (hypokalemia) lasix (-) hypoglycemic  
🗑
Loop diuretics – labs/herbal/food   labs: ^ Bld glucose, BUN, serum amylase or electrolytes, cholesterol and triglycerides herbal/food: Hawthorne ^ hypotensive effects, ginseng decrease effectiveness, ^ NA+ decrease effectiveness.  
🗑
hydrochlorathiazide / Microzide   Class: thiazide diuretics act on the distal tubal to block NA+ reabsorption, increase K+ & H2O excretion. Action: HTN & edema admin: give am to prevent nocturia Preg Cat B. increase K+ intake. side: electrolyte imbalance, gout, hyperuricemia  
🗑
thiazide diuretics- contraindictions/interactions   Con:Hypersensitivity preeclampsia preg HTN inter:Anti-HTN ^ effects on BP (-) effects of anticoagulants sulfonylureas or anti-DM Cholestyramine (-) the absorption of med ^ renal toxicity from NSAIDs Corticosteroids ^ K+ loss -digoxin (-) lithium tox  
🗑
thiazide diuretics- labs/herbal/food   labs: ^ Glucose, cholesterol, bilirubin, triglyceride & calcium. (-) Serum magnesium, potassium, sodium ginkgo biloba produce paradoxical + BP, Hawthorne ^ hypotensive effect  
🗑
Spironolactone/ Aldactone triamterene   Class: potassium sparing that blocks the action of the hormone aldosterone and NA+ and H2O excretion increased and K+ retained. Action: antihypertensive reducing edema admin: Give with food and other anti-HTN, No K+ suppl, Preg Cat C  
🗑
Potassium sparing diuretics- side affects/warnings/labs   Side: Hyperkalemia, muscle weakness, fatigue, bradycardia. Men- gynecomastia, impotence, (-) libido women- irregular menses, hirsutism, breast tenderness Warming: only for specific indications Labs: ^ plasma cortisol & interfere w serum glucose level  
🗑
Potassium sparing diuretics- interactions drugs/food.herbal   Inter: ammonium chloride (acidosis), ASA ^ half-life (digoxin toxicity), w/ digoxin (-) effects of digoxin, w/ K+, ACE, ARB's (hyperkalemia), other anti-HTN (^ hypotensive effect) herbal: Hawthorne ^ hypotensive effect  
🗑
assessments for diuretics all baseline and monitor   Patient's weight intake/output skin turgor/moisture vital signs sounds presence of edema BUN/CR/GFR labs ECG  
🗑
lifespan of diuretics   older adults- hypotension/ risk of falls/ electrolyte imbalances infants/young children- audiology pregnancy/ breast-feeding Cat D should not be used  
🗑
