collecting tubule

loss of H2O in excess of Na and Cl
What is the mechanism of diuresis with acetazolamide?
loss of Na, HCO3, Cl, K
What is the mechanism of diuresis with loop diuretics?
loss of Na, Cl, K, Mg, Ca
inhibits concentration and filtration
What is the mechanism of diuresis with thiazide-like diuretics?
loss of Na, Cl, K, inhibits dilution, not concentration, increases blood Ca and uric acid
What is the mechanism of spironolactone diuresis?
loss of Na and Cl
K sparing
What is the mechanism of amiloride diuresis?
loss of Na and Cl, K sparing
What is the mechanism of triamterene diuresis?
loss of Na and Cl, K sparing
What kind of diuretic is mannitol?
osmotic
What drug is an osmotic diuretic?
mannitol
What is mannitol's main MOA?
IV volume expansion
How does mannitol work?
filtered at glomerulus, not reabsorbed, increases the osmolality of filtrate, limits diffusion fo H2O across the epithelium
Na concentration increases until Na transport is attenuated
What is the net result of mannitol?
H2O loss with some increase in NaCl excretion
Why do you use mannitol?
reduction in intracranial pressure for neurosurgical procedures
What is the toxicity of mannitol?
pulls H2O out of cells, leads to expansion of EC volume, pulmonary edema in patients with CHF, headache, nausea, vomiting
What kind of drug is acetazolamide?
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, sulfonamide
What is acetazolamide's MOA?
noncompetitive inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in proximal tubule prevents reabsorption of NaHCO3, increases secretion of NaHCO3, excreted with H2O
How is acetazolamide excreted?
by kidney, organic acid transport system in proximal tubule
What is the toxicity of acetazolamide?
metabolica cidosis, renal stones, K and HCO3 wasting, decreased NH3 excretion
To whom should you not give acetazolamide?
hepatic cirrhosis, sulfa allergy
What does an idiosyncratic sulfa allergy present with?
fever, rash, bm suppression, interstitial nephritis
What kind of drug is furosemide?
loop diuretic, sulfonamide, carboxylic acid
What kind of drug is ethacrynic acid?
loop diuretic, carboxylic acid
What is furosemide's main MOA?
inhibits cotransport of Na, Cl, K at luminal membrane of thick ascending limb of loop of Henle
What is ethacrynic acid's main MOA?
inhibits cotransport of Na, Cl, K at luminal membrane of thick ascending limb of loop of Henle
How does furosemide work?
inhibition of reabsorption of NaCl in thick acsending limb, loss of NaCl in the urine, abolishes hypertonicity of renal medullary interstitium, reduces H2O reabsorption in collecting tubule and ducts leading to marked diuresis
How does ethacrynic acid work?
inhibition of reabsorption of NaCl in thick acsending limb, loss of NaCl in the urine, abolishes hypertonicity of renal medullary interstitium, reduces H2O reabsorption in collecting tubule and ducts leading to marked diuresis
What part of the kidney reabsorbs most of the filtered Na?
proximal tubule
What transporter defect causes Bartter's syndrome?
Na/K/Cl in luminal membrane of TAL of loop of Henle
Where do the most efficacious diuretics act?
ascending limb, causes most substantial urinary loss of Ca and Mg
How are loop diuretics gotten rid of?
secretion in proximal tubule
How do you dose loop diuretics?
threshold effect, titrate to point at which you get diuresis, give more frequently rather than higher doses to get better effect
What are the edematous uses of loop diuretics?
pulmonary edema, mod- severe CHF, nephrotic syndrome, accelerated/malignant hypertension, ascites, edema due to renal insufficiency
What are the non-edematous uses of loop diuretics?
HTN in patients with low GFR, hypercalcemia, severe symptomatic hyponatremia, hypermagnesemia, mild renal insufficiency, severe hyperkalemia, halide intoxication, preventing early acute renal failure, acute uric acid nephropathy
What is the toxicity of loop diuretics?
hypokalemia due to enhanced K excretion, ototoxicity
What kind of drug is HCTZ?
sulfonamide, inhibits Na transport in DCT
What is HCTZ's MOA?
inhibits Na transport in DCT (Na-Cl cotransporter)
What transporter has a defect in Gitelman's Syndrome?
Na-Cl cotransporter in DCT
How is HCTZ excreted?
filtration and secretion in urine
How does HCTZ go systemically?
absorbed in GI, binds to plasma proteins
Why do you use HCTZ?
hypertension, increases Na secretion, decreases SVR
hypercalciuria, increases Ca reabsorption, decreases rate of renal stone formation
What is HCTZ's toxicity?
K loss, H loss with metabolic alkalosis, can precipitate gout, exacerbate hypercalcemia, can have hyponatremia
What kind of drug is triamterene?
inhibits Na in collecting tubules
What kind of drug is amiloride?
inhibits Na channel in collecting tubules
What is the MOA of triamterene?
inhibits Na channel in luminal membrane of late distal tubule, collecting tubule
decreases net NaCl reabsorption in collecting duct, hyperpolarizes luminal membrane and reduces lumen negative potential difference, K excretion inhibited
What is the MOA of amiloride?
inhibits Na channel in luminal membrane of late distal tubule, collecting tubule
decreases net NaCl reabsorption in collecting duct, hyperpolarizes luminal membrane and reduces lumen negative potential difference, K excretion inhibited
What transporter is messed up in Liddle's syndrome?
Na channel in luminal membrane of late distal tubule and collecting tubule
How is amiloride eliminated?
kidney
How is amiloride absorbed?
partially in GI tract
How is triamterene absorbed?
well from GI tract
How is triamterene eliminated?
renal excretion and metabolism
Why do you use amiloride?
diuretic, K sparing, often in combo with other diuretics, esp thiazides to eliminate K wasting
Why do you use triamterene?
diuretic, K sparing, often in combo with other diuretics, esp thiazides to eliminate K wasting
What kind of drug is spironolactone?
steroid analogue
How does spironolactone work?
competes with aldosterone for cytosolic receptor, doesn't increase mRNA syntehsis, prevents aldosterone from accelerating K excretion and reducing Na excretion
only works if aldosterone is acting
What are the pharmacokinetics of spirolactone?
rapidly absorbed and metabolized
Why do you use spironolactone?
edema of cirrhosis, K sparing, CHF
What is the toxciity of spironolactone?
hyperkalemia, gynecomastia
How do you give diuretics?
determine effective dose, maintenance regimen
if lacks, add another MOA drug, find better treatment for primary disease
