Mechanism of Action
Inhibit the renal ion transporters, decreasing re-absorption of ions (Na, Cl) that enter urine in greater amounts along with water

Can change volume, pH, ion composition in urine and blood
Which diuretics excrete most Na
K+ sparing 2%
>> 20% for Loop
prevent absorption of water, aldosterone antagonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
osmotic diuretics
Major clinical indications
1. Edema
2. HTN---by decreasing plasma volume
Filters 16-20% blood plasma

Filtrate is FREE of proteins, blood

Contains glucose, sodium bicarbonate, amino acids, Na, Cl, K
Glomerular Filtration
Located in cortex
Glucose, sodium bicarbonate, amino acids, lipid soluble metabolites reabsorbed

66% Na reabsorbed (Water follows)
Na transported actively by Na/K ATPase
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
what regulates absorption of bicarbonate
carbonic anhydrase
Location of Acid-base secretory system

Diuretics compete for secretion by this system with endogenous organic acids (uric acid)
Results in HYPERURCEMIA when furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide are administered

Bases....creatinine, cholineare secreted in middle and upper segments
proximal convoluted tubule
Filtrate entering is ISOTONIC....enters medulla....permeable to H2O bu not Na

Osmolarity INCREASES as water diffuses out into interstitial fluid due to countercurrent mechanism created by ascending loop
Filtrate is 4X more hyperosmotic!!!!
Descending Loop
Cells are impermeable in H2O
Na is actively transported out of the lumen into interstitial fluid by Na/K/2Cl transporter

Mg and Ca enter the interstitial fluid via paracellular pathway
Ascending Loop
Diluting region of nephron

Principle location of NaCl reabsorption
(25-30%) pumped out, increases osmolarity of interstitial fluid

Site where diuretics are MOST effective
Ascending Loop
Impermeable to H2O

10% NaCl absorbed by Na/Cl transporter, responds to THIAZIDES

Ca reabsorbed through Ca channels and then transported by Na/Ca transporter into interstitial fluid

Excretion of Ca controlled by parathyroid hormone
Distal Convoluted Tubule
Transport Na, K, and H2O

The Na passes thru ion channels but depends on Na/K ATPase pump to be transported into blood

Aldosterone receptors responsible for Na and K excretion

ADH: Vasopressin promote re-absorption of H2O
Mediated by cyclic AMP
Collecting Tubule and Duct
Overall Pathway
1. Proximal Convoluted Tubule
2. Descending Loop
3. Ascending Loop
4. Distal Convoluted Tubule
5. Collecting Tubule and Duct
Good way to remember
COLT K

2. Osmotic--Descending Loop
3. Loop---Ascending Loop
4. Thiazides--Distal Tubule
5. K sparing---Collecting Tubule
Causes of Edema
Heart Failure---Decreased CO, kidneys retain Na and H2O to increase blood volume-----heart can't increase CO results in edema

TX: Loop
Causes of Edema
Hepatic Ascites---Fluid accumulates in abdominal cavity due to cirrhosis of liver
Causes.....
1. Increase portal BP leads to decrease osmolarity of blood, fluid accumulates

2. Secondary Hyperaldosteronism--elevated aldosterone due to decrease in blood volume, liver can't metabolize aldosternone....Na and H2O reabsorption results in edema
K sparing drugs
Causes of Edema
Nephrotic Syndrome
Glomerulus membranes are damaged, proteins leak into glomerular filtrate
Decreases colloidal osmotic pressure resulting in edema
Causes of Edema
Premenstrual Edema
Imbalance hormones, excess estrogen which causes movement of fluid into extracellular space
Non-Edematous Cause
HTN--diuretics decrease blood volume and cause arteriolar dilation
Non-Edematous Cause
Hypercalcemia----LOOP b/c the promote excretion of Ca

May also get decrease in blood volume so saline is infused to maintain blood volume
Non-Edematous Cause
DM---Polyuria and polydipsia
THIAZIDE decreases blood volume, decrease GFR which causes retention of Na and H2O
Results in reduction urine entering diluting segment and urine flow
Inhibits carbonic anhydrase on apical membrane of epithelium in proximal tubule

CA catalyzes the reaction of H2O and CO2----> carbonic acid which then splits into bicarbonate and H+

The decrease in ability to exchange H+ for Na, results in diuresis
HCO3 remains in lumen increasing pH of urine
Loss of HCO3 causes hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
