NURS 1950: Pharmacology
1
 Objective 1: list two (2) major physiological
functions of the kidneys
 Objective 2: list the four (4) processes
carried out by the nephron
 Objective 3: name the part of the nephron
responsible for each of the processes
1
2
 Objective 4: name the pituitary hormone that
influences the urine volume
 Objective 5: name the adrenocortical
hormone that influences the urine volume
 Objective 6: list the four (4) ways in which
fluid is normally lost from the body
1

 Objective 7: describe the actions of diuretics
Diuretics act to
Deplete
blood volume
Excrete
sodium
Vasodilate
peripheral arterioles
(how is unknown)

Diuretics work in the kidney at
various sites of the nephron
 Can interfere with the action of
aldosterone causing loss of sodium
◦ Where goes sodium, so goes water



What happens with diuretics
◦ Decrease excess water
◦ Loop diuretics + 0.9% NaCl = loss of
calcium
◦ Decrease excess NaCl
◦ Decrease cerebral edema (Mannitol)
◦ Decrease increased IOP (Diamox)
8
Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic (a
sugar);
◦ in the brain, its presence causes
water to be drawn to it
 Works the same way in the eye:
◦ the excess intraocular fluid is drawn
to the mannitol in the hyperosmotic
plasma

9
◦ Diamox very weak diuretic
 Useful in treating glaucoma
10
◦ Aminophylline
◦ Theophylline
◦ Caffeine
◦ Theobromine
 Diuretic effect from improved blood
flow to kidney
 Generally not used for diuretic
effect
11


Action of the thiazides
◦ Act on the distal tubules of the kidney
 Block reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions
from the tubule
 The unreabsorbed Na and Cl ions pass into the
collecting ducts, taking water with them
Thiazides have antihypertensive properties because
of direct vasodilation effect on peripheral arterioles
◦ Expected outcomes from treatment
 Decreased edema and improvement of
symptoms RT excess fluid accumulation
 Reduction in BP
12

