MOA furosemide in treating acute hypercalcemia?
inhibits Ca reabsorption in the loop of henle to increase Ca excretion
What diuretic will treat Ca containing kidney stones?
thiazide diuretic
MOA of sodium phosphate in treating hypercalcemia?
complexes with free, ionized calcium to reduce plasma ionized calcium levels
What effect does PTH have on bone?
takes Ca and P out of bone
MOA pamidronate in treating hypercalcemia?
concentrates in bone and inhibits osteoclast-induced bone resorption to decrease Ca release from bone and reduce plasma Ca levels
What drug can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw and bone or muscle pain?
bisphosphonates
MOA calcitonin in treating hypercalcemia?
hormone that decreases bone resorption and increase Ca excretion by the kidney
MOA cinacalcet in treating hypercalcemia?
Sensitizes the Ca sensing receptor on parathyroid cells to inhibit PTH secretion at lower levels of serum Ca than normal.
Which can cause hypocalcemia? Calcitriol, cinacalcet, vitamin D, Bisphosphonates
cinacalcet
What are the 3 main drugs to treat osteoporosis?
Bisphosphonates
Calcitonin
Teriparatide
What is the MOA of teriparatide in treating osteoporosis?
recombinant PTH analogue - when given once a day in the fall (exogenous, intermittent stimulation), it actives the PTH receptor on osteoblasts to increase their activity and deposit bone.
What are the 2 main treatments of Paget’s disease
Calcitonin
Bisphosphonates
What is the difference between cholecalciferol or vitamin D, calcitriol and paricalcitol?
What is the difference between cholecalciferol or vitamin D, calcitriol and paricalcitol?
What happens to PTH levels with Rickets?
increased
Which agent works better in a patient with Rickets?
Vitamin D or Calcitriol
both about the same
Which agent works better in a patient with hypoparathyroidism?
Vitamin D or Calcitriol
calcitriol
Which agent works better in a patient with chronic renal disease?
Vitamin D or Calcitriol
calcitriol
What happens to PTH levels with chronic renal disease?
increased
What is the MOA of paricalcitol in treating chronic kidney disease?
decrease PTH secretion which will prevent bone resorption (use when calcitriol causes unacceptably high serum Ca levels)
What is the MOA of cinacalcet in treating chronic kidney disease?
sensitizes the Ca sensing receptor on the parathyroid gland to Ca which decreases PTH hormone release thereby preventing bone resorption
