Study Notes
Direct Renin Inhibitors
- Prilreduce can cause severe hypotension
- Example of a direct renin inhibitor is Aliskiren
- Direct renin inhibitors block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
Mechanism of Action
- Blocks the influx of calcium (Ca) and prevents angiotensin II (AP) production
Adverse Effects
- Can cause severe hypotension, especially when standing up or sitting
- Phylaxis prevention is necessary to prevent bleeding risk
- Can increase INR (International Normalized Ratio), increasing bleeding risk (INR 2: 2x bleeding risk, INR 3: 3x bleeding risk)
Contraindications
- Heart Attack: blocks sodium intake, increasing the risk of cardiac complications
- Clotting prevention: prevents blood clotting, increasing bleeding risk
Important Notes
- In case of severe bleeding, repeat fir now and call 911
