Introduction
Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney
There are about 1000 000 nephron in each
kidney
Process of urine formation:
◦ Filtration by glomerulus
◦ Reabsorption by tubules
◦ Secretion by tubules
Glomeruli receive 25% of cardiac output
◦ Filtration rate: 100-120 ml/minute
Tubules:
◦ Reabsorption of 99% of glomerular filtrate thus
only + 1 ml/min. excreted as urine
2
Proximal tubuls:
◦ Reabsorption of 65% Na+
◦ Permeable to water isotonic urine
Loop of Henle
◦ Thick decending limb: most active water
reabsorption
◦ Thin ascending limb
◦ Thick ascending limb:
Reabsorption of Na+,
Water impermeable diluting segment
Distal tubules :
◦ Na+ reabsorption
3
DIURETIC DRUGS
DRUG THAT CAN INDUCE THE INCREASE OF
URINE VOLUME
Main Indications:
◦ Hypertension
◦ Congestive heart failure
◦ Other conditions with water retention:
Edema, Ascites
◦ Others :
Cerebral edema, Glaucoma, Etc ...
4
Drug Site of Action Mechanism
1.Osmotic Diuretic 1. Proximal tubules Inhibition of water and Na+
2. Loop of Henle reabsorption
3. Collecting duct
5
Example: Mannitol
Properties of osmotic diuretics:
Mechanism of Action:
◦ increases osmotic pressure in tubular lumen
prevent reabsorption of electrolytes and water
water excretion ↑
Almost all electrolytes are excreted: Na+, K+,
Ca++, Mg++, HCO3-, phosphate
7
Pharmacokinetics
Mannitol is not absorbed from GI tract
should be administered intravenously
Metabolism:
◦ mannitol 20% metabolized
Excretion: renal
8
Indications
Brain edema
mannitol is given before and after brain surgery
Glaucoma (rare)
Disequilibrium syndrome after hemodialysis
Prophylaxis of ATN (acute tubular necrosis)
due to contrast media, surgery, and trauma.
9
Osmotic Diuretics
Adverse Effects
• Initial increase of plasma volume (due to relatively
large volume of mannitol) potentially
dangerous in heart failure and lung edema
• Hyponatremia headache, nausea, vomitus
• Hypovolemia
• Hypersensitivity reaction
• Vein thrombosis, pain if extravasation (urea)
10
Contraindications
Renal failure with anuria
Lung edema
Dehydration
Intracranial hemorrhage, except before
craniotomy
11
CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITOR
Mechanism of Action
• In tubular cell, CA-I inhibits conversion of CO2 +
H2O HCO3- + H+
• In tubular lumen, CA-I inhibits conversion of HCO3-
H2O + CO2
• Na-H exchange is inhibited Na is combined with
HCO3- NaHCO3 then, excreted in urine along
with H2O
• In the eye: CA-I inhibits formation of aqueos humor
decrease intraocular pressure
13
Indications of CA-I
• Glaucoma (mainly)
• Treatment of metabolic alkalosis
• CNS:
• Anti epilepsi, limited usage
• acute mountain sickness
• Familial periodic paralysis
• Urinary alkalinization: preventing uric acid
and cystine stones
14
Adverse effects
Metabolic acidosis
Renal stones (phosphate and calcium
stone)
Drowsiness, paresthesia, disorientation
Contraindication
Liver cirrhosis (CA-I inhibits conversion
of NH3 to NH4) NH3 increased
hepatic encephalopathy
Renal failure (↑ risk of metabolic
acidosis)
15
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT), Chlorothiazide,
Bendroflumethiazide, Clortalidone, Metolazone, Indapamide
17
THIAZIDES
18
Increases Na+ and Cl- excretion, (also K+
and Mg2+)
AE: Hypo Na, Hypo K, Hypo Mg
Inhibits uric acid secretion
AE: hyper uricemia and gout
Decreases Ca2+ excretion tends to
increase plasma Ca2+ Delays
osteoporotic process
19
Other adverse effects:
Hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia not
very suitable for DM and dyslipidemia (although
not contraindicated)
(Indapamid has less effects on lipid and
uric acid)
Sexual dysfunction
20
Hypertension (single drug or in
combination)
Heart failure (chronic, mild)
Edema (loop diuretic is preferable)
Diabetes insipidus (mainly nephrogenic)
Idiopathic hypercalciuria
21
Due to hypokalemia, thiazide may increase
the risk for arrhythmia when combined with
digitalis, quinidine and other anti arrhythmias
NSAIDs reduce the efficacy of thiazide
Thiazides reduce the efficacy oral anti
diabetics
22
Furosemide, torasemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid
Site
of action: thick ascending limb of Ansa
Henle
Mechanism:
Loop diuretic is excreted into the lumen
Inhibits Na+-K+-2Cl- symporter (reabsorption)
increases the excretion of Na+, K+, Cl- and water
Ca2+ and Mg2+ are excreted as well.
23
Mechanism of Action of Loop Diuretic
24
Congestive heart failure (first line drug)
Acute pulmonary edema
Other conditions with water retention: edema
due to renal failure, nephrotic syndrome,
ascites
Hypercalcemia
Severe hypertension
Force diuresis during drug/chemical
intoxication (drug that excreted through the
kidney in active form)
25
Hypo-K, hypo-Na
metabolic alkalosis,
hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia,
hyperglycemia
Hypocalcemia (opposite to thiazides)
Ototoxicity (especially ethacrynic acid if given
by rapid IV bolus)
Increasesthe risk of arrhythmia when
combined w/ digitalis, quinidine and other
anti arrhythmias
Concomitant use w/ aminoglycoside or
cisplatin increases the risk of nephrotoxicity
and ototoxicity
NSAIDs reduce the effects of diuretics
27
Site of action: late distal tubule and collecting duct
It works by two mechanisms:
1. Na+ channel inhibitors (amiloride, triamterene)
Inhibit Na+ reabsorption Na+ excretion
Reduce K+ secretion K+ retention
2. Aldosterone antagonist (spironolactone,
eplerenone)
◦ Aldosterone induces Na+ reabsorption and K+ excretion
◦ Spironolactone and eplerenone block aldosterone
receptors thus, Na+ is excreted but K+ is retained
28
29
Potassium sparing diuretics have a weak
diuretic action
Usually used in combination w/ other
diuretic:
Potentiation with other diuretics
Prevent hypokalemia due to thiazide or loop
diuretic
Longterm use of spironolactone for
prevention of myocardial remodeling
(hypertrophy and fibrosis)
30
Hyperkalemia
Anti androgenic effect (gynecomastia,
decrease of libido, impotency, menstrual
dysturbance): spironolactone
Megaloblastic anemia : Triamteren (a folate
antagonist)
31
INDICATIONS
Antihypertension:
In combination w/ other anti hypertensions
To increase the effect and to prevent
hypokalemia of other diuretics
