Term
Definition
Function of Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors   Prevents the exchange of hydrogen ions for Na+ ions in the proximal tubule, allowing for more urine  
🗑
side effects of CAIs   respiratory and metabolic acidosis (increases oxygenation- compensation), increases blood glucose and glycosuria (can lead to K+ loss in urine)  
🗑
uses of CAIs   glaucoma (open- angle) edema, and sx of high-altitude sickness (N/V, shortness of breath, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache)  
🗑
Contraindications for CAIs   drug allergy, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, severe renal or hepatic dysfunction, adrenal gland insufficiency, cirrhosis  
🗑
Adverse effects of CAIs   risk of acidosis, hypokalemia; drowsiness, anorexia, paresthesias, hematuria, urticaria, photosensitivity, melena (blood in stool)  
🗑
Drug interactions   Don't use with digoxin (risk of digoxin toxicity); corticosteroids may cause hypokalemia, The effects of amphetamines, carbamazepine, cyclosporine, phenytoin, and quinidine may be increased with CAI use (synergist effect)  
🗑
Nursing care for taking CAIs   assess F&Es, especially potassium  
🗑
Patient teaching for CAIs   Pregnancy Category C  
🗑
Examples of CAIs   Acetazolamide (Diamox)  
🗑
Function of Loop Diuretics   Acts primarily on ascending loop of by activating renal prostaglandins, which results in dilation of blood vessels in kidneys, lungs, and rest of body. Used when rapid diuresis is needed. Continues even after creatinine clearance goes below 25 ml/min.  
🗑
side effects of LDs   POTENT;decreases blood pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, systemic vascular resistance, venous pressure, and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, Secondary: electrolyte (Na+ , K+, Ca2+) loss; changes in plasma levels,  
🗑
uses of LDs   Edema- associ. with heart failure, hepatic or renal disease, controls high B/P, increase in Ca2+ excretion in pts with hypercalcemia.  
🗑
Contraindications of LDs   Known drug allergy, hepatic coma, severe electrolyte loss.  
🗑
Adverse effects of LDs   CNS- dizziness, headache, tinnitus, blurred vision; Gastrointestinal- N/V, diarrhea; Hematologic (blood- related)- agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia; Metabolic- hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia. General dehydration  
🗑
Drug interactions of LDs   Neurotoxic and nephrotoxic; Thiazide+LDs= additve effect; NSAIDs+ LDs= cancel effect of prostaglandins  
🗑
Nursing care for taking LDs   watch for electrolyte loss and dehydration, provide adequate access to bathroom  
🗑
Patient teaching on LDs   Tell patient to call for help when using restroom  
🗑
Examples of LDs   BumetanIDE, FurosemIDE (Lasix), TorsemIDE, AmilorIDE  
🗑
Function of Osmotic Diuretics   works like a vein; uses osmotic pressure to reabsorb water into renal tubules for surrounding tissue. Also inhibits tubular reabsorption, WORKS FAST. Produces only small loss of electrolytes (not good for Na+ excretion).  
🗑
side effects of ODs   convulsions, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary congestion  
🗑
uses of ODs   Acute renal failure, cerebral edema (fro head trauma) , cellular edema ( NOT GOOD FOR Na+ EXCRETION- PERIPHERAL EDEMA)  
🗑
Contraindications of ODs   Known drug allergy, SEVERE renal disease, pulmonary edema (which one to use?), active IC bleeding  
🗑
Nursing care for patients who use OD   Works fast, move objects away that could impede on pt voiding  
🗑
Patient teaching with OD   pregnancy category C drug  
🗑
Potassium Sparing Diuretics Mechanism of Action   bind to aldosterone receptors and blocks resorption of water and Na+. Keeps the K+  
🗑
side effects of PSDs   dizziness, headaches, cramps, N/V, diarrhea, urinary frequency, weakness, hyperkalemia. Spiro: gynecomastia, amenorrhea, irregular menses, postmenopausal bleeding, Tri: kidney stone formation, Megaloblastic anemia,  
🗑
uses of PSDs   MAY VARY: Spiroch, triameterene- tx of hyperaldosteronism and high B/P and reversal of K+ loss caused by other diuretics. Spiro- prevents heart remoldling after; Metabolic alkalosis,  
🗑
contraindications of PSDs   HYPERKALEMIA (serum K+ of greater than 5.5), SEVERE renal failure, or anuira.  
🗑
Drug interactions of PSDs   DO NOT USE with Lithium, ACE inhibitors, K+ supplements. NSAIDS INHIBIT renal prostaglandin (vasodilation), resulting in a lack of med in needed areal.  
🗑
Nursing care for PSDs   assess F&Es, especially K levels  
🗑
Patient teaching for PSDs   avoid K+ rich foods  
🗑
Function of Thiazide Diuretics   works of DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULES to inhibit reabsorption of Na+, K+, and Cl-. Relaxes arterioles; works to relieve heart failure, hypertension, DIABETES INSIPIDUS,  
🗑
side effects for TDs   watch for reduced potassium, and elevated levels of calcium, lipids, glucose, and uric acid. Dizziness, blurred vision, headache, anorexia, N/V, diarrhea, impotence (WITH MALES), decreased libido, vertigo.  
🗑
uses for TDs   Heart failure, HPTN, edema, DI, cirrhosis.  
🗑
contraindications for TDs   drug allergies, hepatic coma, anuria, renal failure  
🗑
Drug interactions for thiazide diuretics   corticosteroids , diazoxide, digitalis, oral hypoglycemics,  
🗑
Nursing care for thiazide diuretics   ask if pt has been using diuretics, monitor blood sugar,  
🗑
Patient teaching with Thiazide diuretics   tell pt (males) that impotence can occur. CAN cross placenta- DO NOT give to PREGNANT WOMEN; CAN CROSS BREASTMILK  
🗑
Types of Thiazide diuretics   chlorothiazide, Hydrocholorothiazide, Metolazone, Thiazide-like diuretic: chlorthalidone  
🗑
Types of ODs   Mannitol  
🗑
Types of PSDs   Spironolactone, Triameterene  
🗑
