why is the Na-K ATPase in renal phys important?
returns Na to circulation

maintain low intracellular Na allows for passive Na entry

allows transpot of other substances to be linked to Na reabsorption
fanconi syndrome
deficit in ability to reabsorb Na+ and other key molecules in the proximal tubule
where is carbonic anhydrase located in the prox tubule?
in the cell and in the bushboard of the cell in the lumen of the proximal tubule

key role - reabsorption of bicarb
bicarb reabsorption in the proximal tubule mechanism
Na/H exchange reabsorbs Na and secretes H+

H+ combines with the filtered bicarb to form carbonic acid (H2CO3)

carbonic acid breaks down to water and CO2 via brush boarder carbonic anhydrase

CO2 is reabsorbed passively and transformed back to carbonic acid via intracellular carbonic acid

carbonic acid then disassociates into H+ and HCO3- (H+ is recycled and bicarb is reabsorbed)
acetazolamide
carbonic anhydrase ihibitor

limits bicarb reabsorption
promotoes NaCl and NaHCO3 excretion

limited diuretic effect becuase of DISTAL reclamation of Na+

metabolic acidosis that results further diminishes diuretic effect

good use: metabolic alkalosis treatment, use to alkinize the urine, combo therapy with other diuretics
functions of the loop of henle
diluting segment is impermeable to water - establishment of medullary hypertonicity
NaK2Cl transporter
site of loop diuretic action - compete for Cl- site - prevents NaCl reabsorption -> reduction of medullary hypertonicity

Ca++ and Mg++ follow NaCl reabsorption

K+ leaks back out into tubule
furosemide vs ethacrynic acid
give ethycrynic acid to people with sulfa allergies
T/F hyponatremia is a common complication of loop diuretics
FALSE its rare
side effects of loop diretics
increased NaCl delivery to distal nephron -> hypokalmia

volume depletion (azotemia) - metabolic alkalosis due to more sodium reabsorption in exchange for H+

ototoxicity (ethacrynic acid)

hypocalcemia (bad for osteoperosis - but can treat hypercalemia)

hypomagnesemia
clinical use for loop diuretics
edema

hypertension

acute renal failure

type IV RTA

hypercalcemia
benefits of loop diuretics continuous infusion
less toxicity

prevents body from adapting during "diuretic free intervals"
Bartter's Syndrome
defect in NaK2Cl transporter

NaCl wasting, hyper-renin state, hypokalemic, metabolic alkalosis
thiazides
act on NaCl cotransporter - compete for Cl- site - allows for salt wasting and diuresis

does not effect Ca++ reabsorption

can cause HYPOnatremia because lose solute in excess of water

causes hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia

can't use for patients in renal failure (GFR < 30-40)
uses of thiazides
stones and hypercalciuria (enhances Ca++ transport)

nephrogenic DI
Gitelman's Syndrome
NaCl cotransporter defect

see hyponatremia
see hypokalemia
see hypomagnesmia

secondary hyperrenin state
K+ sparing diuretics
amiloride, triamterene - block Na+ channels

spironolactone - aldosterone receptor antagonist


use in cases where need to minimize K+ loss - often in combo therapy
spironolactone special use
in high aldosterone states

cirrhosis, chf

inhibits myocardial fibrosis (protects against arrhythmia) and improves myocardial uptake of norepinephrine
side effects of sprionolactone
gynecomastia, hirsutism
amiloride special use
Li+ induced polyuria

treatment for Mg wasting
liddle's syndrome
defect in Na channels in principle cells

mutation prevents degradation/removal of channel

active independent of aldosterone - means always open

causes hypernatremia and hypoaldosteronism

--> hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis
Gordon's syndrome
aka pseudohypoaldosteronism type II

problem in the NaCl cotransporter - allows for continuous activation

causes a chloride shunt -> hyperchloremia, hypertension

hyperkalemia
metabolic acidosis
effect of black licorice
same as apparent mineralocorticoid excess

inhibition of the enzyme that breaks down 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase -> uninhibited cortisol

cortisol mimics aldosterone

--> hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis
diuretic efficacy are modified by
hypoalbuminemia or nephrotic proteinuria - diuretics are protein bound

first dose is most effective - "tolerence" develops as body adapts

takes 2-3 weeks of usage to stablize

lower GFR means high dose needed

need to limit Na+ intake while on diuretics
