Definition of Diuretics • Diuretics are drugswhich causea netloss of sodiumandwater from the body by an action on the kidney. Their primary effect is to decrease the reabsorption of sodium and chloride from the filtrate, increased water loss being secondary to the • increasedexcretionofthesalt. • Classificationofdiuretics: • Accordingtotheirsiteofaction: • 1. Extrarenaldiuretics(outsidethekidney) • InhibitingADHreleasee.g.water,hypotonicsolutionsðanol. • BlockingADHactione.g.lithium,demeclocycline. • Increasingthecardiacoutputandincreasingrenalbloodflowe.g.digitalis, dobutamine,theophyllineanddopamineincasesofHF. • 2Renal diuretics Classification of Diuretics
Site1: (proximalrenaltubule): It is a site of action of osmotic diuretics, secondary site of action of loop diuretics,oneofthesitesofactionofCarbonic Anhydrase(CA)inhibitors. • Site 2: thicksegmentoftheascendinglimbofloopof Henle):Itisthesiteofactionofloopdiuretics. • Site3: earlysegmentofdistalconvolutedtubuleor corticaldilutingsegment): It isthe siteof action of thiazide. • Site4:(distalpartofdistalconvolutedtubulesand collectingduct):ThesiteofactionofK+sparing diureticsandCAinhibitors.
Accordingtotheirnatriureticcapacityinto : Highefficacy:cause15-25%offilteredsodiumtobeexcreted. They remain effective at glomerular filtration rates (GFR) below 10 ml/min (normal127ml/min)e.g.loopdiuretics (highceiling diuretics(. Moderateefficacy:cause5-10%offilteredsodiumtobeexcreted. Theyare ineffective oncethe glomerular filtration rate hasfallen below20ml/mine.g.(thiazidesandtherelateddrugs( Lowefficacy:cause5%offilteredsodiumtobeexcreted.Usually combinedwith moreefficacious diuretics e.g. triamterene, amilorideandK+sparingdiuretics.
Thiazide diuretics Mechanismofaction: They actmainlyontheearlysegment ofthedistaltubule (cortical dilutingsegment),where they inhibitNaCl reabsorption. They decrease sodium reabsorption by inhibiting the Na+/Cl− cotransporter.ExcretionofCl-,Na+and accompanyingH2Ois increased. TheincreasedNa+loadinthedistaltubulestimulates Na+ exchangewith K+,increasing itsexcretionandcausing hypokalaemiaand metabolicalkalosis.

Drug-interaction: 1- Used in combination with amiloride, triamterene, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or K+ supplements cause hyperkalaemia. 2- It antagonizes carbenoxolone effect in peptic ulcer. Contraindications: 1- Hyperkalemia. 2- Patients with renal failure because of the tendency to develop hyperkalemia
Amiloride and triamterene • Amilorideandtriamterenebindtoandblocktheepithelial sodiumchannels(ENaC)and thereby decrease absorption of Na+ and excretion of K+ in the cortical collecting tubule, independent of the presenceofmineralocorticoids. • They inhibit Na+/H+exchange at DCT and collecting tubules by a direct action on tubular transport, and thus inhibit H+excretion, resulting in some degree of alkalinization of the urine whichis lessmarked with amiloride. • They promote theexcretionofuric acidi.e. milduricosuric.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors Mechanismofaction: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme predominately foundin theproximalconvoluted tubuleof the nephron. Itcatalysesthedehydrationof H2CO3to C02at the luminal membrane and the rehydration of C02to H2CO3 inthe cytoplasm . CA inhibitors causereversible inhibitionof the carbonic anhydrase enzyme leading toreduced sodium and bicarbonatereabsorption and, therefore,increased excretionofsodium, bicarbonate, and water
