define renin
|
a proteolytic enzyme that is synthesized and stored in the juxtaglomerular cell of the kidney.
|
|
What are some reasons renin is released
|
*decrease in renal perfusion
(hemorrage, dehydration, chronic Na ion depletion, renal artery stenosis) *by Sympathetic nervous System stimulaton by activation of beta adrenergic receptors |
|
What are the effects of Angiotensin II on the body
|
1. *Aldosterone secretion from
adrenal cortex 2. Na & Cl reabsorption k excretion h20 retention 3. *Arteriolar vasoconst. 4. ADH secretion from pituitary gland which increases h20 reabsorption 5. Sympathetic activity - thirst |
|
Where are the vasocontrictive effects from angiotensin II greatest in the body
|
skin
splanchic vasculature kidneys |
|
coronary artery vasoconstriction due to angiotensin II can lead to
|
decreased coronary blood flow
|
|
What factors alter plasma renin activity
|
1.PEEP (inc renin)
2.Nitroprusside hypotension (inc. in ADH & renin)(propranolol will prevent inc.in renin) 3. Activation of SNS (stim. beta) |
|
what drugs block the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
|
1.ARB's (angiotensin II receptor blockers)
2.Ace Inhibitors 3. Beta Blockers 4. Clonidine (sympatholytic) |
|

|
Plasma kinins
|
|
What are the most potent known endogenous vasodilator
|
plasma kinins
|
|
What do kinins do
|
1. inc. capillary permeability
2. produce edema 3. Evoke intense burning pain by acting @ nerve endings. |
|
Plasma kinins are 10 x's more potent than ? as a vasodilator
|
histamine
|
|
Diseases that may be associated with excess formation of plasma kinins such as bradykinin include
|
1.Septic shock
2.Allergic Rx 3.Carcinoid syndrome |
|
Essential hypertension may be a cause of inadquate amonts of
|
bradykinins
|
|
A naturally occuring polypeptide inhibitor of proteolytic enzyes that is isolated from bovine lung
|
Aprotinin
|
|
What does Aprotinin inhibit
|
trypsin, plasmin, tissue and plasma kallikrein
|
|
indicated for reduction or prevention of blood loss in pts undergoing CABG when a high risk of excessive bleeding exists
|
AProtinin
|
|
The ACT is prolonged in the presence of heparin plus aprotinin when ? is used as the surface activator
|
celite (use kaolin instead)
|
|
Adverse rx's for aprotinin
|
-inc. risk for postop renal dys.
-phlebitis -dyspnea -bronchoconstriction -fever and mental confusion |
|
What is the other name for serotonin
|
5-HT
|
|
A widely distributed endogenous vasocactive substance (autocoid) that evokes complex changes in the cardiovasculas system
|
Serotonin
|
|
Functions as a neurotransmitter in emesis and pain transmission
|
Serotonin
|
|
Where is seretonin found in the body
|
90% GI tract
rest in CNS and platelets |
|
Cerebral vasoconstriction is mediated by
|
5-HT1 Receptors
|
|
5-HT2 receptors effect
|
Vasoconstrictionof coronary arteries and pulmonary vessels
|
|
What has revolutionized the management of drug induced N/V

|
A 5-HT1 receptor agonist that is used to tx migraine and cluster HA
|
Sumatriptan
|
|
Will a repeat injection of sumatriptan be needed and why
|
yes, due to elimination half time of 2 hrs.
|
|
What pts should you not use sumatripan and why
|
