Question
Answer
general MOA of diuretics   generally blockade of Na and Cl reabsorption  
🗑
Three classes of diuretics   *loop diuretics - high ceiling *thiazides *K sparing (aldosterone blockers, non-aldosterone blockers) *osmotic  
🗑
what are the most effective diuretic, with highest ceiling, that doesn't plateau with dose   Loop diuretics are all of this  
🗑
SOA of loop diuretics   ascending Loop of Henle  
🗑
MOA of loop diuretics   blocks Na/Cl reabsorption in ascending Loop of Henle. medulla less hypertonic, more water in urine.  
🗑
Loop diuretics are indicated for these pts   *pulmonary edema, edematous states *HTN, especially renal impaired  
🗑
Which class of diuretics is safe for renal impaired HTN   Loop diuretics - furosemide, bumetanide, torsemide  
🗑
how are loop diuretics administered   They have rapid onset where IV admin > po admin  
🗑
What drug class has interactions with digoxin and lithium   Loop Diuretics have these interactions  
🗑
What drug class has interactions with NSAIDs, K+ sparing antidiuretics and antihypertensives   Loop diuretics have these interactions  
🗑
Watch first dose effect of othorthostatic hypoTN - name 3 drugs in this class   watch this SE for furosemide, bumetanide, torsemide  
🗑
what drug class has the 'hypo---' ADRS   Loop diuretic ADRs ---hypo - vol/natremia/kalemia/chloremia/Mg/Ca and alkalosis  
🗑
what drug class has the 'hyper---' ADRs in addition to otototoxicity   Loop diuretics have mild/ST HYPER---glycemia/lipidemia/uricemia  
🗑
are Loop diuretics often given in combination   yes, often given in combination  
🗑
furosemide class   loop diuretic  
🗑
bumetanide class   loop diuretic  
🗑
torsemide class   loop diuretic  
🗑
What class of drug peaks in 4-6 hours   Thiaziade drug class  
🗑
MOA of thiazides   block reabsorption of Na/Cl in DCT & asecending LofH?  
🗑
Thiazides indicated for which pts   Indicated for HTN, edema *less effective than loop diuretics in renal impairment  
🗑
ADRs of thiazides   less pronounced first dose hypoTN effect, overall ADRs the same but less pronounced due to lower maximum effect. no ototoxicity  
🗑
Let's review lesser effect of thiazide ADRs   dehydration, all the 'hypos' and 'hypers'. but no ototoxicity  
🗑
Do thiazides have same interactions, but to a lesser effect, as loop diuretics?   Yes, lesser but present interactions for digoxin, lithium, NSAIDs, K sparing and antihypertensive drugs  
🗑
name 4 thiazide drugs   *hydrochlorothiazide *chlorothiazide *chorothalidone *metolazone  
🗑
hydrochlorothiazide class   thiazide - most widely used  
🗑
chlorothiazide class   thiazide - oral, IV  
🗑
chlorothalidone class   thiazide - longer acting  
🗑
metolazone class   thiazide class  
🗑
Two sub-classes of K-sparing diuretics   Aldosterone blockers, non-aldosterone blockers  
🗑
what class of drug is it unusual to be on alone due to SE of weakeness   aldosterone blockers least likely to be admin solely  
🗑
What class of drug is most often combined with another diuretic   K+ sparing diuretics most often combined when pt needs to conserve K  
🗑
K sparing diuretics indicated for   Indicated for severe HF, some HTN, hyperaldosteronism  
🗑
MOA of K sparing diuretics   both subclasses prevent the exchange of Na reabsorption/K secretion in COLLECTING DUCT. non-aldosterone blockers do this DIRECTLY while aldosterone blockers do this INDIRECTLY  
🗑
which drug class has delayed effects due to 2nd messenger mechanism   K sparing adlosterone blockers have this delayed effect  
🗑
what drug class has a MAJOR concern for hyperkalemia, especially for RF pts   K sparing diuretics have this concern - both aldosterone/non-aldosterone blockers  
🗑
name 2 aldosterone antagonists   *spironolactone, eplerenone  
🗑
what drug has estrogen effects bwo its chemical structure   spironolactone has this effect  
🗑
spironolactone class   K sparing aldosterone blocker  
🗑
eplerenone class   K sparing aldosterone blocker  
🗑
which subclass of K sparing diuretic has QUICKEST onset   non-aldosterone blocker doesn't use 2nd messenger, otherwise same MOA  
🗑
class of triamterene   K sparing non-aldosterone blocker  
🗑
class of amiloride   K sparing non-aldosterone blocker  
🗑
MOA of osmotic diuretic   drug IS filtered through glomerulus but NOT reabsorbed --> stays in filtrate --> exerts osmotic effect to draw water into lumen of nephron  
🗑
osmotic diuretics indicated for   *Renal failure - prevention/tx *Increased ICP *Increased intraocular pressure  
🗑
mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that has an ADR of edema. How can this be   because it is filtered out at every capillary bed EXCEPT those in the brain. When filtered out of peripheral capillaries it pulls fluid into third space --> edema  
🗑
