  1. DIURETICS (2 of 2) Dr R. P. Nerurkar Dept. of Pharmacology T. N. Medical College & BYL Nair Ch. Hospital, Mumbai DECEMBER 7, 2005

  2. Learning ObjectivesAt the end of my 2 lectures you should be able to • List 5 major typesof diuretics and their mechanism and site of action • List the major applications and toxicities of them • Describe the measures that reduce K+ loss during natriuresis • List the Rx of hypercalcimia and hypercalciuria • manage refractory edema cases • List Rx of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

  3. Overview of 1st lecture • Definition • Physiology of Urine formation and drugs modifying it • Classification and Mechanism of action • Pharmacology of Loop diuretics and CA inhibitors • Group discussion and Exercises on • Prescription writing, • Patient oriented problem solving • Identification of drugs acting • ADR and drug interactions

  4. Thiazides - Sites of Action

  5. Thiazide Diuretics - Actions • Acts on early part of distal tubules • Inhibit Na+-Cl- symporter and reabsorption • Increase NaCl excretion (5-10% Medium efficacy) • Na exchanges with K+ in the DT  K+ loss  Hypokalemia • Not effective in very low GFR of < 30ml/min, may reduce GFR further • Metolazone  additional action on PT, effective at low GFR, can be tried in refractory edema

  6. Thiazide Diuretics - Other actions • Hypotensive action • reduce Ca++ excretion may ppt hypercalcemia in patients of hyperparathyroidism, bone malignancy with metastasis • Increase Mg++ excretion • Hypochloremic alkalosis • Hyperuricemia • Hyperglycemia (inhibit insulin release ?) • Hyperlipidimia (Cholesterol and TG)

  7. ThiazidesPreparations

  8. Thiazides - Uses • Hypertension (Hydrochlorothiazide, Indapamide) • Edema : Cardiac, Hepatic Renal • Less efficacious than loop diuretic • Useful for maintainence therapy • Hypercalciuria and renal Ca stones • Diabetes Insipidus (DI) (Nephrogenic responds better) • Paradoxical use, • MOA - ? Reduce GFR, ? More complete reabsorption in PT • Convenient, Cheaper than Desmopressin in Neurogenic DI • Amiloride is the DOC for Lithium induced nephrogenic DI • Metolazone useful even when GFR is as low as 15ml/min

  9. Thiazides -Adverse Effects • Hypchloremic alkalosis • Hypersensitivity • ppt. Hypercalcemia • Not safe in pregnancy (all diuretics) • Hypokalemia • May ppt renal failure • Hyperuricemia • Hyperglycemia • Hyperlipidemia • Hypomagnesemia

  10. Ideal properties Orally effective Well abosorbed Not metabolized Freely filtered at glomeruli Not reabsorbed Inert Cheap Drugs used Mannitol Glycerol Isosorbide Osmotic Diuretics

  11. Mannitol - Actions • not mediated by any receptors or target site • Expands ECF volume – increase RBF, GFR • Osmotic gradient in the tubular lumen prevent reabsorption of mainly H2O  dilute urine diuresis • prevent Na+ reabsorption - upto 20% NaCl excretion (Acute effect) • May inhibit transport process in Asc loop of Henle • classified as weak diuretic in some textbooks • never used for chronic edema or as a natriuretic

  12. Osmotic diuretic - Preparations

  13. Mannitol - USES • ARF : treatment & prevention • To maintain GFR during major surgeries, trauma cases, severe jaundice, hemolytic reactions etc • To lower intracranial tension Before brain surgery Cerebral edema • To lower intraocular tension • Acute glaucoma Before intraocular surgeries • Forced diuresis in drug poisoning • (FAD in barbiturate poisoning • To counteract low plasma osmolality after dialysis

  14. Mannitol -Adverse Effects • Acute Intravascular volume expansion • Before diuresis starts it exerts osmotic effect in the blood • Contraindicatedin pulmonary edema, Cardiac edema (CHF) and intracranial hemorrage, established renal failure • Thrombophlebitis • Headache (due to hyponatremia), Nausea • If overdose  dehydration  hypernatremia Monitoring of urine output, S. electrolytes, CVP is very imp. Step 6 of rational pharmacotherapy

  15. Potassium Sparing Diuretics - Site of Action

  16. Potassium sparing diuretics – MOA at cortical DT

  17. Potassium sparing diuretics: Preparations

  18. Spironolactone - Actions • Acts on cortical segment of distal tubules • Competitive antagonist of Aldosterone • Inhibit AIP  inhibit Na reabsorption • Causes K’ retention (K sparing effect)  Hyperkalemia • Mild saluretic (natriuresis) 3% of NaCl • Never used alone as diuretic • Useful when combined with thiazide or frusemide

  19. Spironolactone - Pharmacokinetics • Given orally microfine powder tab. • Bioavailability 75% • Converted to active metabolite canrenone • K canrenoate is water soluble can be given I.V. gets converted to canrenone • Onset of action is very slow (steroid receptors)

  20. Spironolactone - uses • Edema more useful in cirrhotic and nephrotic syndrome • breaks resistance to thiazides or frusemide in refractory edema • To counteract K loss due to thiazides, frusemide • Hypertension: combined with thiazide • Eplerenone is a new drug approved for HT, No gynaecomastia • CHF: as a adjunctive therapy it retards disease progression and reduces mortality • RALES (Randomized ALdosterone Evaluation Study) • Primary Hyperaldosteronism (Conn’s syndrome)

  21. Spironolactone – Adverse Effects • Hyperkalemia risk • In CRF patients • Patients taking ACEI (Enalapril) or ATRA (Losartan) • KCl supplement • Related to steroid structure • Gynaecomastia, Impotence in males • Hirsutism, menstrual irregualarities in females • Misc: drowsiness, abdominal upset • Drug Interactions • may increase digoxin levels in CHF • NSAIDs (Aspirin) decreases its effect

  22. Amiloride & Triamterene - Actions • Direct action on DT and CD • Amiloride sensitive or renal epithelial Na channels are blocked • Weak diuretic never used alone • Indirectly inhibit K+ secretion • Also inhibit H+ secretion • Amiloride in aerosol form  cystic fibrosis • ADRs, precautions similar to spironolactone but does not cause sexual dysfunction

  23. Refractory Edema & Diuretic Resistance • Causes • Decreased access • Binding to proteins • 2ndary hyperaldosteronism • Delayed absorption • Nephron hypertrophy • Management • Salt restriction Bed rest • Omit NSAIDs • Multiple doses • Metolazone • Spironolactone • Combination of diuretics Thiazide + Frusemide

  24. Exercises on 2nd Lecture

  25. Question Fastest Finger First Q . Arrange the following diuretics according to their site of action starting from proximal to distal parts of the nephron. A.TriamtereneB.Hydrochlorothiazide C.Acetazolamide D.Bumetanide Answer: C D BA

  26. Prescription - Criticize and Correct Prescription given to patient suffering from chronic congestive heart failure with hypertension with edema feet and basal crepts in the chest Rx Tab. Enalapril 20 mg twice daily Tab. Digoxin 0.25 mg once a day Inj. Hydrochlorothiazide 5 mg IV once a day Tab. Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily

  27. MCQ – Case Study type A patient with long standing diabetic renal disease and hyperkalemia and recent onset congestive heart failure requires a diuretic. Which of the following would be LEAST harmful in a patient with severe hyperkalemia A.Amiloride B.Hydrochlorothiazide C.SpironolactoneD.Losartan Answer B

  28. MCQ – Effects of thiazides When used chronically to treat hypertension, thiazide diuretics have all of the following properties or effects EXCEPT • reduce blood volume or vascular resistance or both • have maximal effects on blood pressure at doses below maximum diuretic dose • may cause elevation of plasma triglyceride levels • decrease the urinary excretion of calcium • cause ototoxicity Answer E

  29. MCQ – Matching type One of the following diuretic is NOT properly matched with its indication for use • Hydrochlorothiazide – Diabetes insipidus • Eplerenone – Hypertension • Mannitol – Acute pulmonary edema • Spironolactone – Edema in cirrhosis of liver Answer C

  30. True or False • Amiloride is a drug of choice for lithium induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus • Mannitol is contraindicated in barbiturate poisoning • Spironolactone can be given intravenously • Diuretics should be avoided in pregnancy induced hypertension • Metolazone is useful even when GFR is very low Answer T F F T T
