Study Notes
Transudative Edema
- Generally associated with renal sodium retention.
- Common causes include:
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Decreased cardiac output leads to renal ischemia, activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This results in Na+ and water retention, causing edema.
- Liver Cirrhosis: Impaired liver function prevents adequate synthesis of albumin, decreasing plasma oncotic pressure, leading to hypoalbuminemia. Along with portal hypertension and RAAS stimulation, this contributes to fluid retention and ascites.
- Nephrotic Syndrome: Glomerular damage results in significant proteinuria, diminishing plasma oncotic pressure and leading to edema.
Diuretic Classes and Agents
- Diuretics promote increased urine volume and sodium excretion.
- Renal Diuretics (act directly on kidneys):
- Thiazide Diuretics: Inhibit Na+/Cl− reabsorption in distal convoluted tubule (DCT), e.g., hydrochlorothiazide.
- Loop Diuretics: Act on the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, e.g., furosemide.
- Potassium-Sparing Diuretics: Work on the distal part of the DCT, e.g., spironolactone.
- Osmotic Diuretics: Sustain osmotic pressure in tubular fluid, e.g., mannitol.
- Extra-Renal Diuretics (act indirectly):
- Increased water intake leads to reduced ADH release and diuresis.
- Digitalis in CHF enhances cardiac output, promoting renal blood flow.
- Intravenous albumin can augment osmotic pressure in certain edemas, facilitating fluid mobilization.
Loop Diuretics
- Examples: Furosemide, torsemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid.
- Pharmacokinetics:
- Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; secreted via organic acid excretory system.
- Furosemide absorption is erratic, while bumetanide is complete.
- Diuretic effect occurs within 5 minutes of intravenous and 30 minutes of oral dosing.
- Mechanism:
- Inhibit Na+/K+/2Cl− co-transport in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, leading to significant losses of Na+, Cl−, and K+.
- Promote renal prostaglandin production, increasing renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- Therapeutic Uses:
- Treats CHF, nephrotic syndrome, pulmonary edema, acute renal failure, hypercalcemia, and hypertensive emergencies.
- Adverse Effects:
- Potential for hypovolemia, hypotension, and electrolyte imbalances (hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia).
- Risk of hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and hyperuricemia, leading to acute gout.
- Ototoxicity occurs with high doses, particularly in renal impairment.
Thiazide Diuretics
- Types include true thiazides (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide) and thiazide-like diuretics (e.g., indapamide).
- Pharmacokinetics:
- Absorption from the GI tract; diuresis observed within 1-2 hours.
- Mechanism:
- Inhibit Na+/Cl− co-transport in proximal DCT, causing Na+, Cl− excretion with water.
- Moderate efficacy with maximum Na+ excretion of 5-7%; ineffective below GFR of 30-40 ml/min.
- Therapeutic Uses:
- Mild edematous states, essential hypertension, and hypercalcuria.
- Can paradoxically reduce urine volume in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by enhancing ADH sensitivity.
- Adverse Effects:
- Similar to loop diuretics, including fluid balance issues and electrolyte disturbances.
- Associated with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
Transudative Edema
- Generally associated with renal sodium retention.
- Common causes include:
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Decreased cardiac output leads to renal ischemia, activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). This results in Na+ and water retention, causing edema.
- Liver Cirrhosis: Impaired liver function prevents adequate synthesis of albumin, decreasing plasma oncotic pressure, leading to hypoalbuminemia. Along with portal hypertension and RAAS stimulation, this contributes to fluid retention and ascites.
- Nephrotic Syndrome: Glomerular damage results in significant proteinuria, diminishing plasma oncotic pressure and leading to edema.
Diuretic Classes and Agents
- Diuretics promote increased urine volume and sodium excretion.
- Renal Diuretics (act directly on kidneys):
- Thiazide Diuretics: Inhibit Na+/Cl− reabsorption in distal convoluted tubule (DCT), e.g., hydrochlorothiazide.
- Loop Diuretics: Act on the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, e.g., furosemide.
- Potassium-Sparing Diuretics: Work on the distal part of the DCT, e.g., spironolactone.
- Osmotic Diuretics: Sustain osmotic pressure in tubular fluid, e.g., mannitol.
- Extra-Renal Diuretics (act indirectly):
- Increased water intake leads to reduced ADH release and diuresis.
- Digitalis in CHF enhances cardiac output, promoting renal blood flow.
- Intravenous albumin can augment osmotic pressure in certain edemas, facilitating fluid mobilization.
Loop Diuretics
- Examples: Furosemide, torsemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid.
- Pharmacokinetics:
- Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; secreted via organic acid excretory system.
- Furosemide absorption is erratic, while bumetanide is complete.
- Diuretic effect occurs within 5 minutes of intravenous and 30 minutes of oral dosing.
- Mechanism:
- Inhibit Na+/K+/2Cl− co-transport in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, leading to significant losses of Na+, Cl−, and K+.
- Promote renal prostaglandin production, increasing renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- Therapeutic Uses:
- Treats CHF, nephrotic syndrome, pulmonary edema, acute renal failure, hypercalcemia, and hypertensive emergencies.
- Adverse Effects:
- Potential for hypovolemia, hypotension, and electrolyte imbalances (hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia).
- Risk of hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and hyperuricemia, leading to acute gout.
- Ototoxicity occurs with high doses, particularly in renal impairment.
Thiazide Diuretics
- Types include true thiazides (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide) and thiazide-like diuretics (e.g., indapamide).
- Pharmacokinetics:
- Absorption from the GI tract; diuresis observed within 1-2 hours.
- Mechanism:
- Inhibit Na+/Cl− co-transport in proximal DCT, causing Na+, Cl− excretion with water.
- Moderate efficacy with maximum Na+ excretion of 5-7%; ineffective below GFR of 30-40 ml/min.
- Therapeutic Uses:
- Mild edematous states, essential hypertension, and hypercalcuria.
- Can paradoxically reduce urine volume in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus by enhancing ADH sensitivity.
- Adverse Effects:
- Similar to loop diuretics, including fluid balance issues and electrolyte disturbances.
- Associated with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
Transudative Edema
- Characterized by generalized swelling due to fluid accumulation, commonly linked with renal sodium retention.
- Key clinical causes include:
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Leads to decreased cardiac output and renal ischemia, activating the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), resulting in sodium and water retention.
- Liver Cirrhosis: Impaired albumin production decreases plasma oncotic pressure, combined with portal hypertension, leads to fluid retention and ascites due to RAAS stimulation.
- Nephrotic Syndrome: Glomerular damage causes excessive protein loss in urine, lowering plasma oncotic pressure and causing edema.
Diuretics: Overview
- Diuretics increase urine volume and enhance sodium excretion.
- Natriuretic drugs specifically promote sodium elimination by the kidneys.
- Classification distinctions:
- Renal Diuretics: Act directly on renal structures.
- Extra-Renal Diuretics: Influence kidney function indirectly (e.g., increased water intake leading to reduced ADH release).
Diuretic Classes
-
Loop Diuretics (e.g., Furosemide):
- Act on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, leading to potent diuresis.
