|
180L
|
|
What percentage of Na must be reabsorbed by the kidney to maintain proper Na balance?
|
99%
|
|
What do diuretics do?
|
increase the urine volume by removing Na and water from the body. Also decrease overall BP
|
|
What are the 4 types of diuretics?
|
1. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
2. Loop diuretics 3. Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics 4. Potassium Sparing diuretics |
|
What are the carbonic anyhydrase inhibitor agents?
|
1. Acetzolaminde (Diamox)
2. Methazolamide |
|
What is the MOA of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors?
|
Carbonic Anhydrase is required for reaborption of Na Bicarbonate in the PT. So CAIs inhibit it and promote the excretion of Na, Water and Bicarbonate
|
|
What is the diuretic Acetazolamide (Diamox) mostly used to treat? What are its adverse effects?
|
Not a diuretic really.
used for glaucoma and altitude sickness. -Adverse effects: Metabolic acidosis, Hypokalemia |
|
What is the MOA of loop diuretics?
|
Inhibit the Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter in the
THICK ASCENDING LIMB of the Loop of Henle |
|
What is the most potent diuretic?
|
Loop Diuretics
|
|
What is a negative aspect of Loop diuretics?
|
Excrete other electrolytes needed by the body
|
|
What must you consider with dosing of loop diuretics?
|
They are not interchangeable between oral and IV mode
|
|
What are some examples of Loop Diuretics?
|
Furosemide (Lasix) Bumetanide Torsemide
|
|
List the adverse effects of Loop Diuretics?
|
HYPO -
tension, natremia, chloremia, kalemia, magnesemia, calcemia OTOTOXICITY!! |
|
What is the MOA of Thiazide Diuretics? What is one negative effect?
|
Directly inhibits Na+/Cl- symporter in the DT. Increases urinary excretion of other electrolytes
|
|
What are the contraindications of Thiazide Diuretics? Cautions?
|
Sulfa allergy,
fluid/electrolyte imbalance, Severe Renal disease. Caution with pts with DM and Gout |
|
What are the adverse effects of Thiazide Diuretics?
|
HYPO -
tension, natermia, kalemia, magnesemia. HYPERCALCEMIA, increased uric acid, increased plasma glucose |
|
What is the MOA of Potassium-Sparing Diuretics?
|
Acts at the CT, promotes up to only 2% of Na and water excretion
|
|
What are the adverse effects of Potassium Sparing Diuretics?
|
Hypotension
HYPERKALEMIA lethargy and confusion |
