Q

Loop Diuretics/MOA/Indications?

A

Furosemide (Lasix), Bumetanide, Ethacrynic acid, Torsemide

MOA: Na+/K+/2Cl-symporter inhibition in thick ascending loop

Main Indications
SEVERE Edematous states (Major Use of Loop Diuretics)
Hypercalcemia: Loop diuretics Increase calcium excretion

Other Indications
Hyperkalemia: Helps manage hyperkalemia in kidney failure
Hyponatremia

Q

Pharmacodynamics of Loop Diuretics

A

Maximum antagonization is ~25% as that is the maximum amount of Na+ reabsorbed in Thick Ascending Loop

Q

Loop Diuretic Drugs/Pharmacodynamics/Side Effects?

A

Bumetanide: More reliable oral absorption than Furosemide

Torsemide: Even more reliable in its absorption, occasionally used in heart failure pts

Ethacrynic Acid: RARELY Used due to ototoxicity, only used in cases of Sulphatoxicity towards other diuretics

Adverse Effects
○ Hypovolemia
○ Electrolyte depletion
○ Hyperuricemia (High Uric Acid in Blood, can worsen GOUT)
○ Metabolic Alkalosis
○ Sulfonamide Allergy: Ethacrynic Acid used in this case
○ Ototoxicity

Q

Thiazide Diuretics/MOA/Indications?

A

Chlorothiazide, Indapamide, Metolazone

MOA
Blocks Na/Cl Cotransporter in distal convoluted tubule
Increases calcium retention (OPPOSITE of Loop)

Indications
Hypertension (Major use of Thiazides)

Minor Edematous states

Hypercalciuria (nephrolithiasis): Increases calcium back into the system, decreasing calcium in urine preventing stone formation

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus: Increase in urine output due to problems with water absorption (Issue w/ ADH production/Action)

Q

Thiazide Diuretic Drugs/Pharmacodynamics/Side Effects

A

Chlorothiazide: longer half-life, available IV and orally

Indapamide: Fewer metabolic Side effects

Metolazone: used in edematous patients in tandem w/ loop diuretics

Adverse Effects
○ Hypovolemia (WORSE than loop agents)
○ Electrolyte depletion (Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia (> loop agents))
○ Metabolic Effects (Glucose Intolerance, Hyperlipidemia)
○ Hyperuricemia
○ Hypercalcemia
○ Impotence
○ Sulfonamide Allergy

Amiloride: Principal cell Na+ channel blockade

Triamterene :Principal cell Na+ channel blockade

Indications:
Diuresis while preventing or Treatment of Hypokalemia: all

Q

Side Effects of Potassium Sparing Diuretic?

A

Side Effects
Hyperkalemia: Interaction with ACE inhibitors, ARBs

Spironolactone: Gynecomastia, impotence, menstrual effects, Metabolic acidosis

Eplerenone: Newer aldosterone antagonist, fewer SEs, improves CHF survival

Triamterene: Renal stones

Q

What should be blocked for the most profound diuresis?

A

FOR MOST PROFOUND DIURESIS BLOCK PROXIMAL TUBULE
(65% of Na Reabsorption)

Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors (Acetazolamide)

Osmotic Diuretics (Mannitol)

Sodium/Glucose (SGLT2) Inhibitors (Flozins)

Q

Causes of Diuretic Resistance?

A

Kidney failure patients require HIGHER doses of diuretics to achieve the same effect

Nephrotic Syndrome (excessive protein excretion in urine): Low albumin in the blood =>Diuretics not effective as albumin in urine binds to diuretic limiting its effectiveness => Edema

ACEI/ARB => ↓proteinuria

Q

Potency of Diuretics?

A

Loop diuretics MORE POTENT continue to increase with increased dose (Suitable for concerning Pulmonary edema)

Thiazides less potent, max out sooner

Q

Consequence of Nephron Remodeling?

A

Remodeling degrades the effectiveness of loop diuretics => resistance

Loop PLUS Thiazides more effective (Diuretic Synergy)

17
Q

Recommended delivery of Loop/Thiazide Diuretics?

A

Diuretic Synergy: Loop PLUS Thiazides more effective

18
