NURS 1950: Pharmacology
1
21
Objective 1: list two (2) major physiological functions of the kidneys
Objective 2: list the four (4) processes carried out by the nephron
Objective 3: name the part of the nephronresponsible for each of the processes
31
Objective 4: name the pituitary hormone that influences the urine volume
Objective 5: name the adrenocorticalhormone that influences the urine volume
Objective 6: list the four (4) ways in which fluid is normally lost from the body
41
Objective 7: describe the actions of diuretics
Diuretics act to
Deplete blood volume
Excrete sodium
Vasodilate peripheral arterioles (how is unknown)
Diuretics work in the kidney at various sites of the nephron
Can interfere with the action of aldosterone causing loss of sodium◦Where goes sodium, so goes water
5
6
7
What happens with diuretics◦Decrease excess water◦Loop diuretics + 0.9% NaCl = loss of calcium
◦Decrease excess NaCl◦Decrease cerebral edema (Mannitol)
◦Decrease increased IOP (Diamox)
8
Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic (a sugar); ◦in the brain, its presence causes water to be drawn to it
Works the same way in the eye: ◦the excess intraocular fluid is drawn to the mannitol in the hyperosmotic plasma
9
◦Diamox very weak diuretic Useful in treating glaucoma
10
◦Aminophylline◦Theophylline◦Caffeine◦Theobromine Diuretic effect from improved blood flow to kidney
Generally not used for diuretic effect
11
Action of the thiazides◦ Act on the distal tubules of the kidney
Block reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions from the tubule
The unreabsorbed Na and Cl ions pass into the collecting ducts, taking water with them
Thiazides have antihypertensive properties because of direct vasodilation effect on peripheral arterioles◦ Expected outcomes from treatment
Decreased edema and improvement of symptoms RT excess fluid accumulation
Reduction in BP
12
Assessments◦Mental status◦Diabetics require baseline blood glucose◦Assess hearing◦Assess for symptoms of acute gout
SE to expect: orthostatic hypotension◦Usually in initial stages of treatment◦Teach client safety measures
13
SE to report◦GI irritation, N/V, constipation◦Electrolyte imbalance, dehydration◦Hyperuricemia ◦Hyperglycemia◦Hives, rash
Thiazides can interact with◦Digoxin, corticosteroids◦Lithium, NSAIDs◦Oral hypoglycemic agents
14

17
Drugs that affect the loop of Henle◦Bumetanide (Bumex)◦Ethacrynic acid (Edecrin)◦Furosemide (Lasix)◦Torsemide (Demadex)
18
Act in the loop of Henle in the kidney◦Inhibits Na and Cl reabsorption
Some increase blood flow to glomeruli
Inhibits electrolyte absorption in proximal tubule◦Lose sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, sodium bicarbonate
19
Onset of diuretic effect varies, but is within 1-2 hours. IV, drugs work within 5-10 minutes
Peak effect within 1-2 hoursDuration approximately 6 hours
20
Maximum mg/day◦ Bumex 10 mg per 24 hours◦ Edecrin 400 mg per 24 hours◦ Lasix 1000 mg/24 hours
Cross sensitivities◦ Sulfonamides and Lasix, Demadex
SE to expect◦ Oral irritation◦ Dry mouth◦ Orthostatic hypotension
21
SE to report with loop diuretics◦ GI irritation, abdominal pain◦ Electrolyte imbalance, dehydration◦ Hives, pruritus, rash◦ Some can cause loss of hearing and
hyperglycemia (interfere with hypoglycemic agents)
22
Drug interactions◦Alcohol, barbiturates, narcotics◦Aminoglycosides◦Cisplatin ◦NSAIDs◦Corticosteroids◦Probenecid◦Digoxin
23
Loop diuretics include◦Bumetanide (Bumex)◦Ethacrynic acid (Edecrin)◦Furosemide (Lasix)◦Torsemide (Demadex)
24
Why is there concern about the electrolyte balance?
25
Weak antihypertensives Mechanism of action unknown Do work in distal renal tubule
◦Retains potassium◦Excretes sodium◦Some have anti-aldosterone activity
26
Maximum dosing per 24 hrs◦ drug dependent
SE to expect with Midamor: ◦anorexia, N/V, flatulence and HA
SE to report: ◦electrolyte imbalance, dehydration,
27
SE to expect and report with Aldactone and Dyrenium: ◦mental confusion, HA, diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, gynecomastia, reduced libido, breast tenderness
Dyrenium can also cause allergic reaction (hives, pruritus, rash)
28
Generally, drug interactions for the K+ sparing agents◦ Lithium, ACE inhibitors, salt substitutes, K+
replacement◦ NSAIDs,
Potassium-sparing drugs include◦ Amiloride (Midamor)◦ Spironolactone (Aldactone)◦ Triamterene (Dyrenium)
29
Potassium-sparing drugs include◦Amiloride (Midamor)◦Spironolactone (Aldactone)◦Triamterene (Dyrenium)
30
Why is an adequate fluid intake important with diuretic therapy?
If the client has to get up during the night to void, what will they probably do?
31
What are some good dietary sources of potassium?
If a client is on Aldactone, what would you tell them about high potassium foods?
32
