Term
name the 4 loop diuretics
Definition
Furosemide, Bumetanide, Ethacrynic Acid, Torsemide (FBET)
Term
Loop diuretics - MOA
Definition
block Cl- and Na+ reabsorption and prevent passive H2O reabsorption in thick ascending LOH
Term
loop diuretics - 4 indications
Definition
pulmonary edema, edematous states (CHF, cirrhosis, nephrosis), HTN, hypercalcemia
Term
Loop diruetics - 2 major AEs and 4 others
Definition
Major: dehydration and hypotension

Others: electrolyte imbalance (all Hypo esp. K+), hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, ototoxicity
Term
thiazide diuretics all have an...
Definition
unsubsituted sulfonamide group
Term
list 5 thiazide diuretics
Definition
Hydrochlorothiazide, chlorothiazide, diazoxide, indapamide, metolazone
Term
Thiazide diuretics MOA
Definition
inhibit NaCl reabsorption from luminal side of epitheial cells in DCT
Term
thiazide diuretics - 3 clinical indications
Definition
HTN (DOC for initial HTN, hypercalciuria, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Term
thiazide diuretics - AEs
Definition
similar to those of loop diuretics

hypercalcemia/hyperglycemia, NO ototoxicty
Term
list 3 potassium-sparing diuretics

Sprinolactone MOA
Definition
spironolactone, eplerenone, triameterene

blocks action of aldosterone via competitive antagonism of cytoplasmic mineralcorticoid receptors in distal nephron (DCT + CT)

*active metabolite = canrenone
Term
spironolactone - uses
Definition
states of aldosterone excess inc. CHF, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome
Term
spironolactone AEs (3)
Definition
hyperkalemia, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, gynecomastia/impotence
Term
eplerenone MOA
Definition
blocks binding of aldosterone to mineralcorticoid receptor
Term
eplerenone principal risk
Definition
hyperkalemia
Term
eplerenone indications
Definition
HTN
Term
Triamterene - MOA
Definition
influences Na+/K+ exchange in distal nephron
Term
triameterene clinical indications (2)
Definition
HTN, mild edema

**usually combined w/another diuretic such as a thiazide one
**Amiloride blocks luminal Na+ channels
Term
CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS - MOA and predominant site
Definition
catalyze dehydration of H2CO3, which is a critical step in HCO3 reabsorption-->inhibition of Carb. anhydrase causes diuresis and reduction in total body HCO3 stores
site - luminal membrane of PCT

**used very infrequently
Term
list 4 Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
Definition
acetazolamide (common), dichlorphenamide, methazolamide, dorzolamide

**SO2NH2 group essential for activity
Term
clinical actions of CAIs (4)
Definition
increase urine volume, decrease HCO3- in blood (metabolic acidosis), hypokalemia, alkaline pH urine
Term
4 clinical indications CAIs
Definition
glaucoma, urinary alkalinization, reduction of total body HCO3 stores, acute mountain sickness
Term
CAI toxicity
Definition
hypokalemia, COTRAINDICATED in cirrhosis
Term
OSMOTIC DIURETICS - name 1
Definition
Mannitol
Term
osmotic diuretics - MOA
Definition
creates osmotic force w/in lumen of nephron-->prevents H2O reabsorption in those segments freely permeable to H2O (PCT and descending loop of Henle)
Term
osmotic diuretics - clinical indications (2)
Definition
prophylaxis of renal shutdown, reduction of intracranial or intraocular pressure (ex. head trauma post-op neurosurgery)

**only administered IV
Term
most common electrolyte that gets screwed up and 3 high content sources
Definition
potassium

dried figs, molasses, seaweed
Term
2 important potassium replacement products
Definition
potassium chloride (most concentrated), potassium bicarbonate
Term
what fluid gives physiological osmolality and is administered IV?
Definition
.9% saline
Term
Magnesium Sulfate indications (4)
Definition
seizure prevention in eclampsia and pre-eclasmpsia

tx cardiac arrhythmias (hypomagnesemia, torsades de pointes)

soft-tissue injuries

status asthmaticus
Term
When is magnesium sulfate administered IV vs topical? (also available oral and IM)
Definition
IV - w/cardiac issues

topical - w/soft tissue injuries
Term
3 types of oral magnesium replacement
Definition
Mg Oxide/chloride/lactate
