Diuretics Flashcards
(40 cards)
Act on Proximal Convoluted Tubule
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor
Act on Ascending Loop of Henle
Loop diuretics
Act on Distal Convoluted Tubule
Thiazide diuretics
Act on Collecting Ducts
K sparing diuretics
Na Pump in Proximal Convoluted Tubule
Na/ H exchange
Source of H in PCT
bicarbonate
Breaks down bicarbonate
carbonic anhydrase
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor
CAI
stops breakdown of bicarb
no H- Na can’t get into cell
Na excreted with water
Decrease bicarb reabsorption causes….
metabolic acidosis
Na Pump in Thick Ascending Tubule
Na/ K/ Cl symporter
Causes reabsorption of Mg and Ca
K leak channels separating cells in TAL
Loop Diuretic
blocks Na/ K/ Cl symporter
K wont leak
Mg/ Ca wont enter cell
Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl excreted
Na Pump of Distal Convoluted Tubule
Na/ Cl symporter
Na/ Ca antiporter on basal side
Thiazide Diuretic
Blocks Na/ Cl symporter
more Ca brought in to balance Na at the Na/ Ca antiporter
increases Ca reabsorption (saves Ca)
Regulates Na/ Ca Antiporter in DCT
parathyroid hormone
Pumps of Collecting Tubule
Na/ K coupled channels- Na in, K out
H goes out when K does
K Sparing Diuretics
Block Na channel, causing K to be trapped in cell
K waste =
H waste
Hypokalemia =
alkalosis
Hyperkalemia =
acidosis
Example of CAI
Acetazolamide
zolamides
CAI and Eye
inhibits CA in ciliary body
decreases rate of aqueous production
Uses for CAI
glaucoma
acute mountain sickness- prevent resp alkalosis
seizures
Adverse Effects of CAI
metabolic acidosis if used systemically
