37 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Class?
furosemide
loop diuretic
class?
bumetanide
loop diuretic
class?
torsemide
loop diuretic
class?
ethacrynic acid
loop diuretic
**useful if patient has sulfa compound allergies
what is the equivalent dose of bumetanide that will equal 40 mg furosemide?
1 mg
(furosemide 40 mg= torsemide 20 mg= bumetanide 1 mg)
what is the equivalent dose of torsemide that equals furosemide 40 mg?
torsemide 20 mg
(furosemide 40 mg= torsemide 20 mg= bumetanide 1 mg)
what is the equivalent dose of torsemide that will equal 1 mg of bumetanide?
torsemide 20 mg (furosemide 40 mg= torsemide 20 mg= bumetanide 1 mg)
which DOA is longer? iv or oral loop diuretics?
oral
name warnings and precautions of loop diuretics
electrolyte imbalances, ototoxicity, worsened ARF (nephrotoxic), hyperuricemia, photosensitivity (furosemide only)
which of the following is available IV and PO?
furosemide
bumetanide
torsemide
ALL OF THEM
Class?
metolazone
thiazide-related
contraindications for loop diuretics?
ANURIA

sulfa allergy (should take ethacrynic acid-- NOT furosemide, torsemide, or bumetanide)
MOA of loop diurectics?
Inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending loop of Henle and proximal renal tubule, interfering with the chloride-binding cotransport system, thus causing increased excretion of water, sodium, chloride, magnesium, phosphate, and calcium; it does not appear to act on the distal tubule
MOA of thiazide diuretics?
Inhibits sodium reabsorption in the distal tubules causing increased excretion of sodium and water as well as potassium and hydrogen ions
class?

chlorthiazide
thiazide
dosing for metolazone vs. chlorothiazide?
5-10 mg metolazone

500-1000 mg chlorothiazide
which of the following diuretics can be taken at GFR <20 ml/min?

furosemide
torsemide
bumetanide
ethacrynic acid
metolazone
chlorthiazide
mannitol
metolazone
when administering diuretics to an AKI patient, what is the goal UOP?
0.5-1 ml/kg/hr
when treating AKI, combination therapy would include which diuretics?
loop diuretic + diuretics from another class

(typically loop + metolazone, since only thiazide-related drug that is known to produce diuresis at GFR < 20 ml/min)
(maybe loop + chlorothiazide)
what should sodium restriction be per day for a patient with hypernatremia due to AKI
</= 3 g sodium per day (from ALL sources!)
why is hyperkalemia a common problem in a patients with AKI?

how often should serum potassium be monitored in these patients?
because 90% of potassium is eliminated renally

**should be monitored at least Q 24 hours
how would you treat asymptomatic, > 6 mEq/L hyperkalemia?
calcium gluconate (to protect heart)
sodium bicarbonate (if patient is also acidotic)
insulin + glucose -OR- albuterol by nebulizer (to drive K+ intracellular)

**same regimen if patient is symptomatic (EKG changes) hyperkalemic
kaexylate (polystyrene sulfonate) -OR- furosemide
what is the blood pressure goal for patient with CKD?
<130/<80
What are protein restriction requirements for patient with CKD?
0.6 g/kg/day for patients with <25 ml/min/1.73 m2

titrate protein intake up to 0.75g/kg/day when patients cannot achieve or maintain adequate nutritional status with lower protein diet
why are blood transfusions avoided in CKD patients?

when would would give blood transfusion to CKD patient?
introduction of antibodies can increase the risk of transplantation rejection in the future

if they are completely hemodynamically compromised
what route of admin is used for epoetin-alfa and darbopoetin-alfa?
SQ unless patietn is on hemodialysis and then IV
which has a longer DOA, epoetin-alfa or darbopoetin-alfa?
darbopoetin-alfa

**epoetin-alfa is the dame molecular structure as human EPO; darbopoetin-alfa is the same as EPO but has been modified from 3 N-linked carbohydrate chains to 5)
with ESAs, how quickly do you want to increase hematocrit? Hgb? What should target Hgb be?
goal of ESAs is to increase hematocrt by 1-2%/week and normalize iron stores

If >1g/dL increase in Hgb per 2 weeks, decrease dose by 25%

If <1g/dL increase in Hgb after 4 weeks, increase dose by 25%

target Hgb goal should be <12 g/dL (10ish)
Name SEs of Epoetin-alfa
hypertension (5-24%)
seizures (3%)
How frequent do you need to dose?

epoetin-alfa
darbopoetin-alfa
epoetin: 3X/week, with best case scenario 1X/week if patient has high dose and no HD

darbopoetin: 1X/week, or best case scenario Q 3weeks in patient with higher dose and no HD
what are appropriate monitoring paramters for ESAs?
Hgb Q week until stable
**then q 2-4 weeks

iron studies monthly X 3 months
**then quarterly

blood pressure
why is ESA resistance so common?
IRON DEFICIENCY= MAIN REASON

also,
infection/inflammation
chronic blood loss
oseitis fibrosa (complication of hyperphosphatemia)
aluminum toxicity
What is goal ferritin and TSAT for CKD pt on ESA?
ferritin= 200-500 ng/mL (in normal patient 200 is at ULN)
