Question
Answer
Adverse Effects of all diuretics.   Renal failure, dehydration, hypotension, dizziness, GI distress (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).  
🗑
Contraindication for all diuretics.   Complete renal failure (Caution with renal injury).  
🗑
Teaching points for all diuretics.   Take in morning. Monitor serum potassium levels. Careful with potassium supplements and potassium rich foods. Diabetics should monitor blood sugar more closely. Change positions slowly. Monitor weight daily.  
🗑
3 functions of diuretic agents.   Increase urine production. Increase sodium excretion. Block re-absorption of sodium.  
🗑
Indications for diuretic use.   Heart failure, pulmonary edema, edema, liver disease, renal disease, hypertension, hyperkalemia.  
🗑
Symptoms of heart failure   Tiredness/fatigue, shortness of breath/coughing, pulmonary edema, weakend pumping action of the heart, pleural effusion, swelling in the abdomen, swelling in the ankles and legs.  
🗑
Thiazide and Thiazide-Like diuretics PROTOTYPE:   Hydrochlorothiazide (Hydro Diuril)  
🗑
Thiazide's MOA   Hydrochlorothiazide retains sodium in the distal tubule.  
🗑
Thiazide's Indications   Hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for hypertension and mild to moderate heart failure.  
🗑
Thiazide's adverse effects   Hypokalemia, hyperglycemia (diabetics), hyponatremia.  
🗑
Thiazide Contraindications/Cautions   Diabetes, Gout, hypokalemia, dehydration and kidney failure.  
🗑
Thiazide (Hydrochlorothiazide) interactions   Digoxin.  
🗑
Loop Diuretics PROTOTYPE:   furosemide (Lasix)  
🗑
Loop Diuretics MOA.   furosemide (Lasix) retain sodium and chloride in the ascending loop of henle.  
🗑
Loop Diuretics indication   furosemide (Lasix) are indicated for hypertension, heart failure and edema that is not responding to thiazides.  
🗑
Loop diuretics adverse effects.   hypokalemia  
🗑
Loop diuretics (furosemide, Lasix) contraindications/cautions   Hypokalemia, Gout, Dehydration, Kidney Failure  
🗑
Loop Diuretics (furosemide, Lasix) interactions   NSAIDs (prostaglandin blocking decreases renal blood flow) Aminoglycosides Digoxin Lithium  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics PROTOTYPE:   spironolactone (Aldactone)  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics MOA   spironolactone (Aldactone) Antagonizes aldosterone causing a loss of sodium but retention of potassium in the collecting duct.  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics indication.   spironolactone (Aldactone) is indicated for patients at risk for hypokalemia.  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics adverse effects   Hyperkalemia  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics contraindications/cautions   Hyperkalemia, dehydration, kidney failure.  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics drug interactions.   ACE inhibitors, potassium supplements, NSAIDs  
🗑
Osmotic Diuretics PROTOTYPE:   mannitol (Osmitrol)  
🗑
Osmotic Diuretics Indications   mannitol (Osmitrol) is indicated only for intercranial pressure and sever fluid over load. It is administered only IV typically in emergent/ICU settings.  
🗑
Osmotic Diuretics MOA   Pulls water into the proximal tubule without sodium loss, increases osmotic pressure in the tubule.  
🗑
Osmotic Diuretics Adverse Effects   hypotension, dizziness, confusion, headache, nausea, vomiting  
🗑
Osmotic Diuretics Contraindications/Cautions   Intracranial bleeding, Dehydration/kidney failure  
🗑
