Q

ethacrynic acid

A

loop diuretic without sulfa

22
Q

loop diuretic mechanism of action

A

bind to Na/Cl pump and prevent reabsorption of Na,K,Cl
4 h2o loss for each pump

Ototoxicity: worse with ethrynic acid- permanent

23
Q

furosemide

A

poor gut absorption

bumetanide/torsemide 90%absorption

24
Q

sprironlactone

A

aldosterone antagonist and reduces Na reabsorption

amy interfere with steroid synthesis gyneocomastia

25
Q

diuretic therapy for hypertension in renal insufficiency

A

thiazides ineffective with gfr <30

metolazone may work

26
Q

alpha meds for htn

A

alpha 1receptor blockers
alpha 2 receptor agonists
presynaptic stimulation decreases output

27
Q

cardioselective b blockers

lipid solubility:

A

lose selectivity at high doses
isa may not lower hr as much
lipid solubility: lease atenolol, nadolol, less cns effects

28
Q

vasodilating b blockers

A

labetolol, carvedolol

29
Q

metoprolol succinate

A

long acting

survival benefit in chf- not shown with tartrate

30
Q

angiotensin CE location

A

ubiquitous
endothelial
angiotensin 1 to angotensin 2

31
Q

angiotensin 2 actions

A

adrenal cortex: increases aldosterone synthesis
kidney/gut: sodium h2o absorption
CNS: vasopressin, increases sympathetic discharge
vascular: vasoconstrictor

32
Q

RAS levels with ace inhibitor

A

increases: renin
renin activity
AG1
decreases: AG2, aldo, ace activity

33
Q

aliskiren

A

tekturna

direct renin inhib, so blocks angiotensinogen to AG1

34
Q
different effects on RAS:
diuretic
acei
arb
dri
A

diuretic: increases pra, ag1, ag2
acei: increases pra, ag1 and decreases ag2
arb: increases pra, ag1 and ag2
dri: decreases pra, ag1, ag2

35
Q

not removed with dialysis
digibind rx
amio will increase levels

41
Q

digoxin action

A

na/k atpase and decreases function

increases vagal activity

42
Q

A

phosphodiesterase inhibitor- inhibits PDE3 so increases cAMP
(cAMP degraded by PDE3 to AMP)

increases intracellular Ca and contractility and vasodilates

43
Q

nitroprusside

A

cGMP increased and inhibits Ca influx to relax sm mm

cyanide toxicity- renal insufficiency

44
Q

phenylephrine
norepinephrine
vasopressin

A
