INTRODUCTION
Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Blood pressure is a measurement
of the force against the alls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood throughout the body. It may
!ary according to age and se" of the patient. B# is measured in mm of mercury $Hg%. High B#
increases the chance of stro&e' heart attac&' heart failure' &idney disease' and early death$Brunton' ()**%.

DIUR=TIC2
Diuretic drugs increase urine output by the &idney $i.e.' promote diuresis%. This is accomplished
by altering ho the &idney handles sodium. If the &idney e"cretes more sodium' then ater
e"cretion ill also increase. In general' the primary goal of diuretic therapy is to reduce
e"tracellular fluid !olume in order to loer blood pressure. 7ost diuretics produce diuresis by
inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium at different segments of the renal tubular system

Figure 35 Inhibition of sodium@potassium@chloride cotransporter by loop diuretics.
9oop diuretics inhibit the sodium@potassium@chloride cotransporter in the thic& ascending limb.
This transporter normally reabsorbs about (-A of the sodium load8 therefore' inhibition of this
pump can lead to a significant increase in the distal tubular concentration of sodium' reducedhypertonicity of the surrounding interstitium' and less ater reabsorption in the collecting duct.
This altered handling of sodium and ater leads to both diuresis $increased ater loss% and
natriuresis $increased sodium loss%. By acting on the thic& ascending limb' hich handles a
significant fraction of sodium reabsorption' loop diuretics are !ery poerful diuretics. 9oop
diuretics cause an increase in the renal blood flo by this mechanism. This diuresis lea!es less
ater to be reabsorbed into the blood' resulting in a decrease in blood !olume $#iasci&'())%.

6ldosterone causes the tubules of the &idneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and ater
into the blood. This increases the !olume of fluid in the body' hich also increases blood
pressure. If the renin@angiotensin@aldosterone system is too acti!e' blood pressure ill be toohigh $Ba&ris' ())/%.

stepof the renin@angiotensin@aldosterone system$R662%. Renin inhibitors bind to the acti!e siteof renin and inhibit the binding of renin to angiotensinogen. By inhibiting the R662 at the
beginning renin inhibitors pre!ent the formation of 6ng I and 6ng II. This pre!ents ater and
salt retention and arteriolar !asoconstriction. Thus renin inhibitors are effecti!e in loering
blood pressure $Bron' ())-%.
