Question
Answer
Where should I review for this system   see study guide for concept maps  
🗑
what are both necesseray to stimulate renin release by JG cells of kidney   *low glomerular pressure *low Na in PCT (macula densa cells)  
🗑
what does renin act on   converstion of angiotensiogen --> angiotensin-1  
🗑
where is ACE and what does it act on   Angiotensin converting enzyme from lungs. Its actions converts inactive angiotensin-1 to biolocially active angiotensin-2  
🗑
angio-2 has 2 main actions, with a secondary action. what are they   *potent vasoCON. when blocked --> vasoDIL *acts on adrenal cortex --> aldosterone *aldosterone --> retain Na/H20, excrete K  
🗑
Upside of RAAS activation   *maintains normal circulation *provides compensation when perfusion of vital organs is reduced  
🗑
Downside of RAAS activation (counterproductive)   *both angio-2 and aldosterone contribute to remodeling over time *fibrosis may result --> decrease fxn of myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cells  
🗑
Can angio-2 come from any source besides RAAS   *yes, can be produced bwo direct B-1 adrenergic stimulation  
🗑
Is ACE known by any other names?   also known as Kinase-II or Kinniase-II  
🗑
so when ACE is called Kinase-II, what is its action   it is also involved in the metabolisim of bradykinin, and other substances  
🗑
when we block ACE, what are downstream effects on Angio-2   decreased angio-2 --> *vasoDIL *dec blood volume *dec cardiac and vascular remodeling *K retention *fetal injury  
🗑
When we block ACE, what are downstream effects on bradykinin   blocking ACE means that bradykinin IS NOT metabolized to inactive form. Result is bradykinin able to exert these effects *vasodilation (what we're looking for) *cough (SE) *angioedema (SE)  
🗑
what do I need to fricking remember about blocking ACE   blocking ACE essentially blocks TWO SYSTEMS *arteriole (--> vasoDIL) *aldosterone (-->Na/H20 reten, K wasting)  
🗑
what activates RAAS   *ANY volume depletion (dehydration, hemorrhage) *lowered Na levels in DCT  
🗑
can true hyponatremia activate RAAS   yes, it indirectly activates  
🗑
ACE inhibitors are 'prils'. MOA please   *prevents angio-2 from vasocon (result vasodil) *vasodil occurs in both arterial/venous --> *reduces afterload/arterial pressure *reduces preload/venous return *prevents heart/vessel remodeling *prevents aldosterone's Na/H20 save, K waste  
🗑
Indications of ACE inhibitor -2   *HTN - decreases mortality *HF - dec sxs and remodeline  
🗑
2 more indications of ACE inhibitors   *AMI - dec mortality, progression to HF *nephropathy - dec. progression  
🗑
What can ACE inhibitors help prevent   prevention of AMI, CVA and death in pts at high risk of CV events  
🗑
ADR of ACEIs - first two   *first dose hypoTN like Alpha-1 blockers *cough due to bradykinin  
🗑
ADR of ACEIs - second two   *hyperkalemia - adlosterone shut down *renal failure - vasodil efferent > afferent. leads to dec intraglomerular pressure  
🗑
ADRs of ACEIs - last two   *angioedema - bwo bradykinin *fetal injury - Pregnancy category D  
🗑
drug interactions with ACEI --> additive hypotensive effects   *diuretics *antihypertensives  
🗑
Drug interactions with ACEI-->hyperkalemia   *K supplements, K sparing diuretics (spironaolactone, triamterene, amiloride) *NSAIDs  
🗑
Drug interactions with ACEI --> increased lithium MOA   ACEIs cause lithium levels to rise. anti-aldosterone means Na not being reabsorbed, so Lithium can't exchange with Na. Therefore, lithium levels increase  
🗑
all ACEIs are 'prils', so tel me the first/shortest duration that is desired   catopril  
🗑
which 2 ACEIs are not prodrugs   catopril, lisnopril  
🗑
catopril dosing requirements   BID/TID on empty stomach  
🗑
which is the only ACEI not completely eliminated renally   fosinopril  
🗑
other ACEI taken on empty stomach   moexipril  
🗑
which ACEI is only avaiable as active IV form   enalapril  
🗑
other ACEIs for name recognition   benaze - perindo - quina - rami - tranodola . . .all prils  
🗑
what pregnancy category are ALL ACEIs   pregnancy category D  
🗑
ARBs = antgiotensin-2 Receptor Blockers MOA   block action of Angio-2 at the receptor, therefore doesn't effect bradykinin accumulation  
🗑
why would we give ABRs   give to pt who can't tolerate SEs of ACEIs (cough, angioedema)  
🗑
What ADRs DO WE excpect with ABRs   same as ACEIs - first dose hypoTN, decreased renal function, hyperkalemia, fetal injury  
🗑
ABRs indicated for   *HTN *diabetic nephropathy *CHF  
🗑
Sites of action ABRs   *arteries - blocks vasocon-->vasodil *adrenal cortex - blocks aldosterone/vasopressin pathway  
🗑
all ARBs are 'sartans' - name 4   cande - epro - irbe - lo ...sartans  
🗑
Name other 3 'sartans' in ABR class   olme - telmi - val . . .sartans  
🗑
Renin Blocker MOA   binds to renin to decrease the conversion of angiotensinogen --> angio-1 (rate limiting step in activating RAAS)  
🗑
is there an increase in bradykinin associated with renin blockers   nope, works further upstream  
🗑
name 1 direct rening blocker   aliskiren  
🗑
aliskerin SEs   *GI low incidence of cough/angioedema/hyperkalemia  
🗑
Selective Aldosterone Receptor Blocker MOA   selectively blocks aldosterone, so is K sparing. similar diuretic mechanism to spironolactone  
🗑
name 1 selective receptor blocker   eplerenone  
🗑
does eplerenone have estrogenic SEs   nope, differened chemical structure to spironolactone  
🗑
what is the major SE of eplerenone   hyperkalemia - watch for it  
🗑
what are drug interactions of eplereonone   any drugs that cause hyperkalemia or are CYP3A4 metabloism inhibitors  
🗑
