Diuretics

Various types of diuretics, including carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics, have distinct mechanisms of action and indications. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as acetazolamide, work by inhibiting bicarbonate reabsorption, which impacts sodium reabsorption.

Diuretics

Diuretics

Natriuretic

drugs which alter renal hemodynamics

  • do NOT alter transporters
  • caffeine
    dopamine

    MOA: DA and beta 1 receptor agonist

  • frequently combined with dobutamine (beta 1 agonist) in treating post-MI pts w/ poor renal blood flow

  • effects:

  • renal vasodilator
  • increases GFR
  • increases renin production
  • carbonic anhydrase inhib

    site 1

    acetazolamide

    MOA: inhibits both isoforms of carbonic anhydrase, thus inhibiting HCO3 reabsorbtion which also decreases Na reabsorbtion

    indications:


  • NOT useful as diuretics!
  • glaucoma (decreases movement of Na and water in aq humor)
  • second line drug for epilepsy
  • acute mountain sickness (d/t pulm or cranial edema)
  • dissolusion of uric acid stones (b/c of alkanization of urine)
  • metabolic acidosis

    b/c it lowers plasma HCO3

    K-sparing

    site 4

    competition with aldosterone

    seldom used alone

    contraindicated in pt with renal insufficiency

    if pt. hypertensive or post-MI

    epleronone

    MOA: same as spironolactone, except...

    specific for the mineralocorticoid receptor (does not bind androgen or progesterone receptors)

    spironolactone

    MOA: aldosterone receptor competitive antagonist

    inhibs ability of aldosterone to increase the Na/K exchange

    NOT specific for the mineralocorticoid receptor (also binds glucocorticoid receptors)

    effects:




  • slight diuresis, slight incr Na excretion
  • greater effect is to inhibit K loss

  • SLOW onset and offset

    contraindications

    pts w/ impaired renal function

    pts w/ diabetes

    anti-androgenic effects/hypoandrogenism

    menstrual irregularities

    impotence

    gynecomastia

    elevated aldosterone level (in those w/ HF)

    hyperkalemia

    disruption of electrical gradients

    ENaC

    triamterene

    oral

    some hepatic metabolism

    shorter t1/2

    amiloride

    MOA: removes the drive to transport K across the cell (for excretion) -- by inhibiting Na influx thru ENaC, so less Na for the NaK ATPase

    oral

    unmetabolized (excreted uncharged by the kidney!)

    direct inhibition of Na transport
    thiazides

    site 3

    MOA: inhibits NCC (Na/Cl contransporter) -- inhibs NaCl reabsorbtion at DCT

    unlike site 2 diuretics, DO NOT LEAD TO COUNTERCURRENT WASHOUT

    contraindicated in pts with renal insufficiency!

    indications

    - essential HT

    - CHF (w/ NORMAL renal fxn)

    - mild edema

    - hypocalcemia & hypercalciuria)

    - diabetes insipidus (lack of ADNH)

    increased urinary excretion of: Na, K, H

    decreased urinary excretion of: Ca, urate, Lo

    if pt has high cholesterol or diabetes...

    metolazone & indapamide

    don't cause hyperglycemia

    don't alter lipids

    exception to thiazide rule!: effective in renal failure when combined with a loop diuretic

    better AE profile

    drug interactions

    hypokalemia increases digitalis toxicity!!!

    glucocorticoids

    Li

    site 2 diuretics

    K-sparing diuretics

    may prevent K loss - a useful interaction

    AE

    hypersensitivity reactions

    increased serum lipoproteins, TG, LDL

    chlorthalidolone

    cholorthizide & hydrocholrothiazide

    ineffective when GFR < 30ml/min (low renal fxn)

    (loop) high-ceiling diuretics

    site 2

    torsemide

    longer t1/2 permits qd dosing

    2x bioavailability as furosemide

    if diabetic pt...

    ethacrynic acid and bumetanide have lower incidence of hyperglycemia

    ethacrynic acid

    no sulfonamide group!

    bumetanide

    potency differs from furosemide

    drug of choice

    furosemide

    MOA: inhibits NKCC2 (by plugging up the Cl site) and also causes 'counter-current' washout

  • Increases urinary excretion of: Na, K, H, Cl, Mg, Ca
  • Decreases urinary excretion of: Urate, Li
  • Also a vasodilaor (will decr, L ventricular filling pressure and pulm. congestions)
  • worsens gout

    GI disturbances

    hypertriglyceridemia

    hyperglycemia

    hyperaldosteronism

    ototoxicity

    hypokalemia

    Osmotic

    MOA: trap water in filtrate and osmotically prevent water reabsorbtion + cause diuresis by countercurrent washout


    basically, they increase GFR by redistributing water from some place in the periphery to the kidney so that it can be eliminated

    Contraindications:
    Dehydration

    need some water in your body for an osmotic diuretic to redistribute it! osmotic diuretics would make dehydration worse

    Heart failure

    osmotic diuretics will increase the circulating [pre]load

    Natriuretic diuretics are ok to use though b/c they don't increase preload - they alter renal dynamics at the nephron instead of throughout vasculature

    Peripheral edema

    increasing the vascular volume with an osmotic diuretic will make the peripheral edema worse -- backs up into lungs and can lead to pulmonary edema!

    Anuria

    need at least SOME urine flow to get the osmotic diuretic out of your system

    AE:
    n/v
    HA
    cerebral edema

    eventually the osmotic diuretics will diffuse from the plasma compartment out into the CSF -- the excess CSF volume can cause cerebral edema

    Uses:
    prophylaxis for acute renal failure

    as long as there is SOME urine production though

    pre-surgery, can reduce intracranial and intraocular pressure
    must have at least SOME urine production
    Isosorbide
    greatest effect on the eye

    used mostly prior to ocular surgery

    Glycerol
    Mannitol
