1-Drugs Acting on the Kidney.pptx
1. Drugs Acting on The Kidney
The kidneys are major organs of urine formation
Regulate the ionic composition, volume & pH of urine/body
fluid by three major processes;
Urine formation = glomerular filtration - tubular reabsorption +
active tubular secretion
1
2. Functions of Renal System
Excretory function: metabolic wastes, drugs, toxins, NTs,
water soluble metabolites, hormones
Regulatory function:
Water/fluid/ balance: diluting & concentrating urine
Electrolyte balance: K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, Pi-
Acid base balance: H+, HCO3
-
Endocrine function: EPO, renin, PGs
Metabolic function: activation of Vitamin-D, gluconeogenesis

3. Urine formation
An important interplay b/n RBF & nephron function
CO RBF RPF GFR tubular flow urine
CO = HR SV
= 72 beats (strokes)/minute 70 mL/beat(stroke)
= 5040 mL/minute
5 Liters/minute
3
4. RBF to both kidneys = 20-25% of CO
Out of 5 Liters; 20% = 1 L/minute
In the 1 L blood; 40% (400 mL) are cells & 60% (600 mL) is
plasma
Cells (RBCs, WBCs, platelets) do not filtered, simply circulate
through the blood vessels
4
5. Out of 600 mL plasma 20% (120 mL/min) filtered in the
glomeruli in both kidneys (60 mL/min/kidney) as it is passing
in the glomerular capillaries i.e. GFR
Out of 120 mL:
65% of fluid is reabsorbed in the PCT
10-15% of fluid is reabsorbed in the thin descending loop of
Henle (water permeable site)
Water permeability of the collecting tubule system is ADH
dependent
Finally 1 mL/minute urine is produced
5
7. Diuretics
Increase urine volume by promoting renal excretion of salt &
water
Principally used to remove excess ECF from the body
180 liters of fluid is filtered from the glomerulus into the
nephron per day
The normal urine out put is 1-5 liters per day
The remaining is reabsorbed in d/t areas of nephron
7
13. Uses:
Glaucoma: aqueous humor production
Mountain sickness: reducing the formation as well as the pH of
CSF – it can also be used for prophylaxis
Metabolic alkalosis: enhances HCO3
– excretion
Alkalinization of urine
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: CSF secretion
Epilepsy: acetazolamide (adjuvant) as it seizure threshold
Hyperphosphataemia:urinary phosphate excretion
13
14. Side effects:
Bicarbonaturia & acidosis
Hypokalemia
Hyperchloremia
Paresthesia /unusual or unexplained tingling, pricking, or
burning sensation on the skin/
Renal stones: Ca2+ is lost with HCO3
– hypercalciuria
Sulfonamide hypersensitivity
14
15. Loop Diuretics
Furosemide, ethacrynic acid, torsemide, bumetanide
MOA: Na+/K+/2Cl– transporter inhibition, results in:
intracellular K+ in the TALH
back diffusion of K+
positive potential
reabsorption of Ca2+ & Mg2+
diuresis
15
27. Side effects:
Sulfonamide hypersensitivity
Hypokalemia & alkalosis (due to H+ excretion)
Hypercalcemia, mild hypomagnesemia (unknown)
Hyperuricemia (actively secreted by the OAT into the PCT)
Hyperglycemia: due to hypokalemia b/c insulin release
depends on K+ level ( insulin release)
Dose dependent hyperlipidemia ( cholesterol, LDL, TG);
worsened insulin sensitivity &/reflex RAAS & SNS activation
Impotency (rare): is likely a result of reduced volume
27
32. Osmotic Diuretics
Mannitol, Glycerin, Isosorbide, Sorbitol, Urea
After IV administration mannitol ECF: extracting fluid from the
cell (fluid shift) results in;
Renal blood flow by;
Viscosity of blood
Inhibition of RAAS as ECF ed
Sympathetic tone no activation of 1
➨Diuresis 32
33. Clinical indications
To ICP in ABI, hemorrhagic stroke
To IOP before ophthalmologic procedures
Adverse Effects
Extracellular volume expansion (prior to diuresis)
Dehydration (hypovolemia) & hypernatremia
33
36. ADH Antagonists
ADH: octapeptide produced in the hypothalamus
Medical conditions (CHF, SIADH) stimulate ADH secretion
water retention
Patients with CHF who are on diuretics frequently develop
hyponatremia secondary to excessive ADH secretion
dangerous hyponatremia
Use: treatment of hypervolemic & euvolemic hyponatremia
Ethanol, water: inhibit ADH secretion from hypothalamus
36
37. ADH receptors: V1 (V1a, V1b) & V2
V1: expressed in the vasculature & CNS
V2: expressed specifically in the kidney
Antagonists:
Non specific agents: Lithium & demeclocycline
Now replaced by vaptans due to ADR (renal failure)
37
38. Conivaptan (available in IV): act on both V1a & V2
Orals (tolvaptan, lixivaptan & satavaptan): V2 selective
Tolvaptan: FDA-approved, very effective for hyponatremia
Lixivaptan & satavaptan: under clinical dev’t
t½ of conivaptan & demeclocycline: 5-10 hrs, tolvaptan 12-24
hrs
38
39. Clinical indications:
Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH Secretion
If water restriction is not successful
Other causes of elevated ADH
Thirst: IV conivaptan is effective by blocking V1a
Refractory ascites
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Cyst development in polycystic kidney disease is mediated
through cAMP
ADH is a major stimulus for cAMP production in the kidney via
V2: tolvaptan
39
40. Adverse Effects
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: caused by Li+
Can be treated with thiazides & amiloride
HCTZ causes ed osmolality in the inner medulla (papilla) & a partial
correction of the Li+-induced reduction in aquaporin-2 expression
Amiloride blocks Li+ entry into collecting duct cells & reverses Li+-
induced polyuria
Acute renal failure: Li+ & demeclocycline
Chronic interstitial nephritis: in long-term Li+ therapy
Hypotension & elevation in liver function tests: tolvaptan
40
41. Adenosine A1-Receptor Antagonists
Renal adenosine concentrations rise in response to hypoxia &
ATP consumption
In the hypoxic kidney, adenosine actually decreases blood flow
and GFR
Adenosine increases Na+ reabsorption from the reduced flow in
the cortex, so that delivery to medullary segments will be even
further reduced
41
42. Adenosine is known to affect ion transport in the PCT, the
medullary TAL, and collecting tubules
Reduces blood flow to the glomerulus & GFR via A1 receptors
on the afferent arteriole
Is also the key signaling molecule in the process of
tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF)
42
43. Adenosine A1–Receptor Antagonists
Prevent tubuloglomerular feedback
Interfere with the activation of Na+/H+ exchanger in the PCT
Interfere the adenosine-mediated enhancement of collecting
tubule K+ secretion (K-sparing)
Several naturally occurring methylxanthines (e.g., caffeine,
theophylline, and theobromine) are A1 receptor antagonists
(albeit nonselective) and consequently cause diuresis
43
44. Pamabrom:
Is a mild diuretic consisting of a one-to-one mixture of 8-
bromotheophylline & 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol
8-bromotheophylline (a methylxanthine), is the active
component of pamabrom
Use: for the treatment of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
symptoms (water weight gain, bloating, swelling, muscle
cramps/pan, tension, fullness feeling)
Works by increasing the production of urine which eliminates
unwanted water retention
44
45. ADH/AVP (Vasopressin) Agonists
Vasopressin & desmopressin are used in the treatment of
central diabetes insipidus
DI is due to either deficient production of ADH (neurogenic or
central DI) or inadequate responsiveness to ADH (nephrogenic
diabetes insipidus (NDI))
45
46. ADH secretion is regulated by
serum osmolality & by volume
status
AQP2, apical aquaporin water
channels
AQP3,4, basolateral aquaporin
water channels
V2, vasopressin V2 receptor
46
47. V2 Receptor Agonist: Vasopressin
Major Therapeutic Uses
V1 receptors cause GI & vascular smooth muscle contraction
Postoperative abdominal distention
Abdominal roentgenography (X-ray)
Bleeding, cardiac arrest, hypovolemic shock
Contraindicated in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Not for long-term therapy of central diabetes insipidus
Use with extreme caution in patients with vascular disease
47
48. V2 Receptor Agonist: Desmopressin
V2 receptors cause water conservation & release of blood
coagulation factors (von Willebrand factor)
Uses:
Central diabetes insipidus (DOC)
Primary nocturnal enuresis
Prevention of blood loss in patients with specific bleeding
disorders
Can be administered orally at high doses
ADR: water intoxication
CI: in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
48
49. Diuretic Resistance
Is inability to reduce plasma sodium levels despite using full
therapeutic dose of diuretics
Could be due to multiple reasons like higher sodium intake,
reduced absorption of the diuretic, inadequate renal blood flow
as in CCF leading to lower amounts of it reaching the kidney
Chronic renal failure & nephrotic syndrome patients may also
be refractory to diuretics
49
50. Diuretic resistance may be managed with:
Upgradation from a lower to a higher efficacy diuretic
Using a suitable combination
Reduced salt intake
Timing the diuretic intake 30 – 60 minutes before food also
works because renal diuretic levels would be high enough to
avoid slat retention
Avoid NSAIDs, b/c they can cause salt & water retention & are
a common cause of diuretic resistance
50
51. Drug Interactions with Diuretics
Hypokalaemia induced by diuretics enhance digitalis toxicity
NSAIDs blunt the effect of diuretics b/c of inhibition of PG
synthesis in the kidneys
Diuretics enhance lithium toxicity by reducing renal excretion
of lithium
Drugs that cause hyperkalemia (ACEIs/ARBs) & oral K+
supplements should be avoided with K+ sparing diuretics
51
52. Diuretics potentiate the antihypertensive effects of drugs used
in hypertension
Probenecid competes with furosemide & thiazides for tubular
secretion & counter their diuretic effect as smaller amounts of
these diuretics reach the tubular fluid
Diuretics also counter the uricosuric effects of probenecid as
they cause hyperuricemia
52
53. Contraindications for Diuretics
Toxaemia of pregnancy (preeclampsia):
Diuresis induced in pregnancy results in reduced fetal
circulation which may result in fetal death
Hence diuretics are contraindicated in pregnancy-induced
hypertension
Hepatic cirrhosis: diuretics can cause mental disturbances &
hepatic coma in cirrhosis patients
The combined effect of raised NH3 levels, alkalosis &
hypokalemia may be responsible for this
Cautiously used!

The glomerular capillary membrane is similar to that of other capillaries, except that it has three (instead of the usual two) major layers: (1) the endothelium of the capillary, (2) a basement membrane, and (3) a layer of epithelial cells (podocytes) surrounding the outer surface of the capillary basement membrane.
ECF excessive extracellular fluid
Actions of Diuretics at the Various Renal Tubular Segments
True thiazide diuretics are derivatives of sulfonamides (sulfonamide diuretics). Many also inhibit carbonic anhydrase, resulting in diminished bicarbonate (HCO3
2) Reabsorption by the proximal tubule.
2. Specific agents
a. Prototype true thiazides include chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide. Other agents include methyclothiazide. Chlorothiazide is the only thiazide available for parenteral use.
Carbonic anhydrase is present in the nephron, ciliary body of the eyes, gastric mucosa, pancreas and other sites.
Inhibition of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase increases the concentration of hydrogen ions intracellularly and decreases the pH. The potassium ions shift to the extracellular
compartment to buffer the acid-base status. This event results in hyperpolarization and an increase in seizure threshold of the cells.
Eye: The ciliary body of the eye secretes bicarbonate into the aqueous humour. Carbonic anhydrase inhibition results in decreased formation of aqueous humour
and thereby reduces intraocular pressure.
2. Brain: Bicarbonate is secreted into CSF and carbonic anhydrase inhibition reduces the formation of CSF.
Metabolic alkalosis is generally treated by correction of abnormalities in total body K+, intravascular volume, or mineralocorticoid levels. However, when the alkalosis is due to excessive use of diuretics in patients with severe heart failure, replacement of intravascular volume may be contraindicated. In these cases, acetazolamide can be useful in correcting the alkalosis as well as producing a small additional diuresis for correction of volume overload.
Patients experiencing a sulfonamide antimicrobial allergy may experience a variety of clinical manifestations. These may include hypersensitivity reactions from each of the Gel and Coombs classifications. Type 1 immunoglubulin E (IgE)-mediated reactions result in manifestations such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria [2]. Regarding IgE-mediated type 1 reactions, it is important to note that the sulfonamide-defining NH2-SO2 moiety has not been found to be bound by IgE. Instead, the N1 heterocyclic ring has been found to be recognized by IgE, especially if a methyl group is in the position on the isoxazole ring. Non-type 1 reactions are mediated by three potential
mechanisms: (1) the parent molecule or reactive metabolites acting as haptens; (2) the molecule binding to a native protein stimulating a cellular or humoral immune response, or (3) a cellular protein causing direct cytotoxicity, or stimulation of T-cells to produce an immune response
TALH: thick ascending loop Henle
Furosemide and bumetanide contain a sulfonamide moiety.
Ethacrynic acid is a phenoxyacetic acid derivative; torsemide is a sulfonylurea.
Furosemide and bumetanide are available as oral and injectable formulations. Torsemide is available as an oral formulation; ethacrynate sodium is a available as an injectable solution and ethacrynic acid as an oral tablet.
LVF: left ventricular failure.
Acute pulmonary oedema and acute LVF: It is quickly relieved by IV frusemide due to its immediate vasodilator effect and then by diuretic action.
Tinnitus: ringing or buzzing in the ears. Vertigo: loss of balance
CA: carbonic anhydrase.
Thiazide and thiazide‐type diuretics increase urinary excretion of Mg2+ via a poorly understood mechanism possibly involving the reduced Mg2+ channel abundance. This effect may lead to a mild magnesuria, and long‐term use of the drugs may cause magnesium deficiency, particularly in the elderly.
Due to volume depletion reflex RAAS & SNS activation occur..
Due to both impaired insulin release & reduced sensitivity
Thiazides stimulate ATP-sensitive K+ channels & cause hyperpolarization of beta cells → inhibiting insulin release
ABI: acute brain injury
However, in the case of Li+-induced NDI, it is now known that HCTZ causes increased osmolality in the inner medulla (papilla) and a partial correction of the Li+-induced reduction in aquaporin-2 expression. HCTZ also leads to increased expression of Na+ transporters in the DCT and CCT segments of the nephron.
As in all tissues, renal adenosine concentrations rise in response to hypoxia and ATP consumption. In most tissues, hypoxia results in compensatory vasodilation and, if cardiac output is sufficient, increased blood flow.
The kidney has different requirements because increased blood flow leads to an increase in GFR and greater solute delivery to the tubules. This increased delivery would increase tubule work and ATP consumption. In contrast, in the hypoxic kidney, adenosine actually decreases blood flow and GFR. Because the medulla is always more hypoxic than the cortex, adenosine increases Na + reabsorption from the reduced flow in the cortex, so that delivery to medullary segments will be even further reduced.
Four distinct adenosine receptors (A1 , A2a , A2b , and A3 ), in the kidney.
However, probably only A1 is importance for the pharmacology of diuretics
The adenosine A1 receptor is found on
The pre-glomerular afferent arteriole, PCT
other tubule segments.
more selective A1 antagonist, rolofylline, was recently withdrawn from study because of CNS toxicity and unexpected negative effects on GFR. However, newer adenosine inhibitors that are much more potent and more specific have been synthesized. Several of these (Aventri [BG9928], SLV320, and BG9719) are under study and if found to be less toxic than rolofylline, may become available as diuretics that avoid the diuretic effects of K + wasting and decreased GFR resulting from tubuloglomerular feedback.
Thiazide diuretics can reduce polyuria and polydipsia in both types of diabetes insipidus (DI).
Lithium, used in the treatment of manic-depressive disorder, is a common cause of NDI, and thiazide diuretics have been found to be very helpful in treating it. This seemingly paradoxic beneficial.
However, in the case of Li + -induced NDI, it is now known that HCTZ causes increased osmolality in the inner medulla (papilla) and a partial correction of the Li + -induced reduction in aquaporin-2 expression. HCTZ also leads to increased expression of Na + transporters in the DCT and CCT segments of the nephron. Thus, the maximum volume of dilute urine that can be produced is significantly reduced in NDI. Dietary sodium restriction can potentiate the beneficial effects of thiazides on urine volume in this setting. Serum Li + levels must be carefully monitored in these patients, because diuretics may reduce renal clearance of Li + and raise plasma Li + levels into the toxic range.
V1 receptor–mediated therapeutic applications are based on the rationale that V1 receptors cause GI and vascular smooth muscle contraction.
V2 receptor–mediated therapeutic applications are based on the rationale V2 receptors cause water conservation and release of blood coagulation factors.
