Presentation Transcript

  1. PHM142 Fall 2012 Instructor: Dr. Jeffrey Henderson Mehrad Saeb, Susanta Dan, Meng Lin & Kavi Mahalingam DIURETICS & BLOOD PRESSURE MANAGEMENT

  2. Outline • Review of renal anatomy and physiology • Hypetension • Introduction to diuretics • Uses of Diuretics & BP management • Classes of Diuretics • Loop diuretics • Thiazides • Osmotic diuretics • Potassium Sparing diuretics • Carbonic Anhydrase inhibitors • Adverse Effects

  3. Kidney • Kidney • Excretion of wastes • Acid-base homeostasis • Osmolality regulation • Blood pressure regulation • Hormone secretion • Functional Unit • Nephron

  4. Renal Physiology • Renal processes • Filtration • At glomerulus (GFR) • Reabsorption • Water, electrolytes • Active tubular secretion • Organic acids and bases

  5. Reabsorption

  6. Hypertension • Chronically increased systemic arterial pressure. Commonly due to abnormally reduced arteriolar radius. • More than 95% of hypertension patients: causes unknown • Defined: • Arterial blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg • Treatment: • Low sodium diet • Diuretic drugs

  7. Congestive Heart Failure • Collection of signs and symptoms that occur when the heart fails to pump an adequate cardiac output. • May be due to many causes • Pumping against chronically elevated arterial pressure (Hypertension) • Failing heart -> decreased GFR + elevated aldosterone • Virtual absence of sodium in urine • Net result: edema

  8. Diuretics • Drugs to treat diseases characterized by renal retention of salt and water. Essentially increase volume of urine excreted by inhibiting sodium/water reabsorption. • Applications • Treatment of hypertension • Reduction of edema to treat congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis and certain kidney diseases • Treatment of drug toxicity and overdose

  9. Diuretics • Function: • Block sodium and water reabsorption • Site of Action: • Tubules of kidney; exact location varies with drug. • Classes: • Loop diuretics • Thiazides • Osmotic diuretics • Potassium Sparing diuretics • Carbonic Anhydrase inhibitors

  10. Loop Diuretics Furosemide • Widely used Diuretics • Mechanism of Action • Blocks Na+/K+/2Cl- Symporter • Site of Action: Ascending Limb • Pharmacokinetics • Administrated as IV or Oral • Rapid onset • Therapeutic Uses • Pulmonary edema caused by congestive heart failure or renal insufficiency • Hypertension.

  11. Thiazides Class of diuretics often used to treat hypertension  First-line of treatment in the US Peak action is 4-6 hours Block Na+ and Cl- symporter in the distal convoluted tubules

  12. Adverse Effects • Hypotension • Allergy • Renal failure • Pregnancy: breast milk contamination • Electrolyte Imbalances • Dehydration • Loss of volume • Hypokalemia • Hyperuricemia

  13. Summary • Hypertension: Arterial blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg, chronic condition, hugely unknown, and may lead to congestive heart failure • Diuretics treat diseases characterized by renal retention of salt and water via increased volume of urine excreted • Site of action: tubules of kidney; exact location vary with drug. • Classes: Loop, Thiazides, Osmotic, Potassium Sparing and Carbonic Anhydrase inhibitors • Loop;: • Site of action: Ascending limb • block Na+/K+/2Cl- Symporter thereby reducing reabsorption , increasing urine output leading to lower BP • Thiazide: • Site of Action: Distal convoluted tubule • block Na+/Cl- symporter and thereby inhibit reabsorption, leading to increase urine output, lower body sodium level and lower BP • Adverse effects - Hypotension, Allergy, Renal failure, Pregnancy: breast milk contamination, Electrolyte Imbalances, Dehydration, Loss of volume, Hypokalemia, Hyperuricemia
