Diuretics Flashcards
(54 cards)
Thiazide diuretics
Hydrochlorothiazide chlorthalidone indapamide
Secreted from OASS in PCT
Thiazide
*uric acid too (why they fight in the first place)
*some antibodies
*loop diuretics
Inhibits thiazide
Probenecid
Loop
*high efficacy rapid onset and short duration
Frisemide and Torsemide (Sulfonamides)
Ethacrynic acid(Non Sulfonamides)
Also antagonised by probenecid and also decrease uric acid excretion
Loop diuretics
Thick Ascending Limb
For Na K Cl cotransport
Loop
Ototoxic - to hair cells of the inner ear
Loop - deafness and hearing defect especially with otoyoxic drugs like gentamicin
Fetotoxic
Thiazide and loop contraindications
Together with kidney and liver failure, digitalis toxicity(hypok), corticos, pregnancy and gout
Mild and moderate hypertensive
Thiazide
Other antihypertensive vaso dilators
Hydralazine and minoxidil (inhibit salt and water retention)
Useless when GTR is less than 30
Thiazide
Use loop
Na channel blocker
K channel opener
Thiazide for HF
When body doesn’t respond to loop
Jmpairs release of insulin causing hyperglycemia
Thiazide adverse effect
Powerful diuretic effect
Loop diuretics
Decreases net positive potential for Ca and Mg reabsorption
Frusemide
Can be used even when GFR less than 10
Loop
Loop is ideal for hypertension
But it’s short duration of action makes it disadvantageous
*used in oedemas too
*and hypercalcemia not hypo (because it inhibits common carrier preventing Ca influx through net positive created by K
Loop treatment of hylercalcemia
Furosemide plus electrolyte replacement plus IV
Ototoxicity (damafes hair cells of the inner ear) of Aminoglycosides e.g.
Gentamicin.
Fruit juice
Counteract hypokalemia thiazide adverse effects (that worsens digitalis toxicity)
*k retaining diuretic like spironolactone
Thiazide helps idiopathic hypercalcuria, stones or osteoporosis
As it prevents Ca from being excreted - hyoercalcuria
Thiazide in heart failure (loop is still better)
Diuresis - for the systemic oedema
Arterial VD - decreased TPR decreasing preload
Frusemide plus wrfarin
Displaces it from plasma protein binding site
