The basic urine-forming unit of the
kidney is the nephron, whichconsists of a filtering apparatus, the
glomerulus, connected to a long
tubular portion that reabsorbs andconditions the glomerular
ultrafiltrate. Each human kidney is
composed of approximately onemillion nephrons.

Glomerular Filtration. In the glomerular capillaries, a portion
of the plasma water is forced through a filter that has threebasic components: the fenestrated capillary endothelial cells, a
basement membrane lying just beneath the endothelial cells,
and the filtration slit diaphragms formed by the epithelial cells
that cover the basement membrane on its urinary space side.
Solutes of small size flow with filtered water (solvent drag) into
the urinary (Bowman's) space, whereas formed elements and
macromolecules are retained by the filtration barrier. For each
nephron unit, the rate of filtration [single-nephron glomerular
filtration rate (SNGFR)] is a function of the hydrostatic
pressure in the glomerular capillaries the hydrostatic pressure
in Bowman's space

kidney is designed to filter large quantities of
plasma, reabsorb substances that the body must
conserve, and leave behind and/or secretesubstances that must be eliminated. The two
kidneys in humans produce together
approximately 120 ml of ultrafiltrate, yet only 1
ml/min of urine is produced. Therefore, greater
than 99% of the glomerular ultrafiltrate is
reabsorbed at a staggering energy cost. The
kidneys consume 7% of total-body oxygen intakedespite the fact that the kidneys make up only
0.5% of body weight.

across membrane; 3, diffusion of solute through a pore; 4,
transport of solute by carrier protein down electrochemical
gradient; 5, transport of solute by carrier protein against
electrochemical gradient with ATP hydrolysis providing
driving force; 6 and 7, cotransport and countertransport,
respectively, of solutes, with one solute traveling uphill
against an electrochemical gradient and the other solute
traveling down an electrochemical gradient.

By definition, diuretics are drugs that increase the
rate of urine flow; however, clinically useful diuretics
also increase the rate of excretion of Na+(natriuresis) and of an accompanying anion, usually
Cl-. NaCl in the body is the major determinant of
extracellular fluid volume, and most clinical
applications of diuretics are directed toward
reducing extracellular fluid volume by decreasing
total-body NaCl content.

A sustained imbalance between dietary Na+ intake and Na+ loss is
incompatible with life. A sustained positive Na+ balance would result in
volume overload with pulmonary edema, and a sustained negative Na+
balance would result in volume depletion and cardiovascular collapse.
Although continued administration of a diuretic causes a sustained net
deficit in total-body Na+, the time course of natriuresis is finite because
renal compensatory mechanisms bring Na+ excretion in line with Na+intake, a phenomenon known as diuretic braking. These compensatory,
or braking, mechanisms include activation of the sympathetic nervous
system, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, decreased
arterial blood pressure (which reduces pressure natriuresis), hypertrophy
of renal epithelial cells, increased expression of renal epithelialtransporters, and perhaps alterations in natriuretic hormones such as
atrial natriuretic peptide

INHIBITORS OF CARBONIC ANHYDRASE
Acetazolamide (DIAMOX) is the prototype of a class of agents that
have limited usefulness as diuretics but have played a major role in
the development of fundamental concepts of renal physiology and
pharmacology
Mechanism and Site of Action. Proximal tubular epithelial cells
are richly endowed with the zinc metalloenzyme carbonic
anhydrase, which is found in the luminal and basolateral
membranes (type IV carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme tethered to the
membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage), as well as in
the cytoplasm (type II carbonic anhydrase). Carbonic anhydrase
plays a key role in NaHCO3 reabsorption and acid secretion.

OSMOTIC DIURETICS
Osmotic diuretics are agents that are freely filtered at the glomerulus, undergolimited reabsorption by the renal tubule, and are relatively inert pharmacologically.
Osmotic diuretics are administered in large enough doses to increase significantly
the osmolality of plasma and tubular fluid. gives the molecular structures of the four
currently available osmotic diuretics glycerin (OSMOGLYN), isosorbide
(ISMOTIC), mannitol(OSMITROL), and urea (UREAPHIL).
Mechanism and Site of Action. For many years it was thought that osmotic
diuretics act primarily in the proximal tubule. By acting as nonreabsorbable solutes,
it was reasoned that osmotic diuretics limit the osmosis of water into the interstitial
space and thereby reduce luminal Na+ concentration to the point that net Na+
reabsorption ceases. Although early micropuncture studies supported this concept,
subsequent studies suggested that this mechanism, while operative, may be of onlysecondary importance and that the major site of action of osmotic diuretics is the
loop of Henle.

INHIBITORS OF NA+-K+-2CL- SYMPORT (LOOP DIURETICS, HIGH-CEILING
DIURETICS)
Drugs in this group of diuretics inhibit the activity of the Na+-K+-2Cl- symporter in
the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle; hence these diuretics also are
referred to as loop diuretics. Although the proximal tubule reabsorbs approximately
65% of the filtered Na+, diuretics acting only in the proximal tubule have limited
efficacy because the thick ascending limb has a great reabsorptive capacity and
reabsorbs most of the rejectate from the proximal tubule. Diuretics actingpredominantly at sites past the thick ascending limb also have limited efficacy
because only a small percentage of the filtered Na+ load reaches these more distal
sites. I
In contrast, inhibitors of Na+-K+-2Cl-symport in the thick ascending limb are highly
efficacious, and for this reason, they sometimes are called high-ceiling diuretics.
The efficacy of inhibitors of Na+-K+-2Cl- symport in the thick ascending limb of the
loop of Henle is due to a combination of two factors: (1) Approximately 25% of the
filtered Na+ load normally is reabsorbed by the thick ascending limb, and (2)
nephron segments past the thick ascending limb do not possess the reabsorptive
capacity to rescue the flood of rejectate exiting the thick ascending limb.
7/27/2019 01. Drug Kidney
15/53
Mechanism and Site of Action. Inhibitors of Na+-K+-2Cl-symport act primarily in the thick ascending limb.
Micropuncture of the DCT demonstrates that loop diuretics
increase the delivery of solutes out of the loop of Henle. Also,
in situ microperfusion of the loop of Henle and in vitromicroperfusion of the CTAL indicate inhibition of transport by
low concentrations of furosemide in the perfusate. Some
inhibitors of Na+-K+-2Cl- symport may have additional effects
in the proximal tubule; however, the significance of these
effects is unclear

16/53
INHIBITORS OF NA+-CL- SYMPORT (THIAZIDE AND THIAZIDELIKE
DIURETICS)
The benzothiadiazides were synthesized in an effort to enhance thepotency of inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase. However, unlike carbonic
anhydrase inhibitors, which primarily increase NaHCO3 excretion,
benzothiadiazides were found predominantly to increase NaCl excretion,
an effect shown to be independent of carbonic anhydrase inhibition.
Mechanism and Site of Action. Some studies using split-droplet andstationary-microperfusion techniques have described reductions in
proximal tubule reabsorption by thiazide diuretics; however, free-flow
micropuncture studies have not consistently demonstrated increased
solute delivery out of the proximal tubule following administration of
thiazides. In contrast, micropuncture and in situ microperfusion studies
clearly indicate that thiazide diuretics inhibit NaCl transport in the DCT. TheDCT expresses thiazide binding sites and is accepted as the primary site
of action of thiazide diuretics; the proximal tubule may represent a
secondary site of action.

INHIBITORS OF RENAL EPITHELIAL NA+ CHANNELS (K+-SPARING
DIURETICS)
Triamterene (DYRENIUM, MAXZIDE) and amiloride (MID-AMOR) are the only
two drugs of this class in clinical use. Both drugs cause small increases in NaCl
excretion and usually are employed for their antikaliuretic actions to offset theeffects of other diuretics that increase K+ excretion. Consequently, triamterene
and amiloride, along with spironolactone (see next section), often are classified
aspotassium (K+)-
Mechanism and Site of Action. Available data suggest that triamterene andamiloride have similar mechanisms of action. Of the two, amiloride has been
studied much more extensively, so its mechanism of action is known with a
, principal cells in the late8-28Figurehigher degree of certainty. As illustrated in
distal tubule and collecting duct have, in their luminal membranes, epithelial
Na+ channels that provide a conductive pathway for the entry of Na+ into the
cell down the electrochemical gradient created by the basolateral Na+ pump

ANTAGONISTS OF MINERALOCORTICOID RECEPTORS (ALDOSTERONE
ANTAGONISTS, K+-SPARING DIURETICS)
Mineralocorticoids cause retention of salt and water and increase the excretion of
K+ and H+ by binding to specific mineralocorticoid receptors. Early studies
indicated that some spirolactones block the effects of mineralocorticoids; this
finding led to the synthesis of specific antagonists for the mineralocorticoid
receptor (MR). Currently, two MR antagonists are available in the United States,
spironolactone (a 17-spirolactone) and eplerenone; two others are available).7-28Tableelsewhere (
Mechanism and Site of Action. Epithelial cells in the late distal tubule and
collecting duct contain cytosolic MRs that have a high affinity for aldosterone. This
receptor is a member of the superfamily of receptors for steroid hormones, thyroid
). Aldosterone enters the1Chapterseehormones, vitamin D, and retinoids (epithelial cell from the basolateral membrane and binds to MRs; the MR-
aldosterone complex translocates to the nucleus, where it binds to specific
sequences of DNA (hormone-responsive elements) and thereby regulates the
expression of multiple gene products called aldosterone-induced proteins (AIPs).

The Role of Diuretics in Clinical Medicine. Another implication is that
three fundamental strategies exist for mobilizing edema fluid: Correct
the underlying disease, restrict Na+ intake, or administer diuretics. Themost desirable course of action would be to correct the primary disease;
however, this often is impossible. For instance, the increased hepatic
sinusoidal pressure in cirrhosis of the liver and the urinary loss of
protein in nephrotic syndrome are due to structural alterations in the
portal circulation and glomeruli, respectively, that may not beremediable. Restriction of Na+ intake is the favored nonpharmacologic
approach to the treatment of edema and hypertension and should be
attempted; however, compliance is a major obstacle. Diuretics,
therefore, remain the cornerstone for the treatment of edema or volume
overload, particularly that owing to congestive heart failure, ascites,
chronic renal failure, and nephrotic syndrome.

Manifestations of DIN include acid-base abnormalities, electrolyte
imbalances, urine sediment abnormalities, proteinuria, pyuria, and/or
hematuria.
However, the most common manifestation of DIN is a decline
in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which results in a rise inthe serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN).
This is consistent with the qualitative definition of acute renal failure (ARF) or
an abrupt and sustained decrease in glomerular filtration, urine output, or
both.

Aminoglycoside antibiotics,radiocontrast media,
nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),
amphotericin B, and
angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are frequently implicated.
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity occurs in all settings in which drugs are
ingested or administered. It is a significant source of morbidity and
mortality in the acute care hospital setting. DIN accounts for nearly
7% of all drug toxicity and from 18% to 27% of all cases of acuterenal failure in hospitals.
Overall, in-hospital drug use may contribute to 35% of all cases
of acute tubular necrosis (ATN), most cases of allergic interstitial
nephritis (AIN), as well as to nephropathy due to alterations
in renal hemodynamics and postrenal obstruction.

NSAIDs have an overall favorable safety profile resulting in OTC availability in the
United States of ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen for short-term therapy.
While potential adverse renal effects from OTC NSAIDs have been a concern.
NSAIDs are unlikely to impair renal function in the absence of renal ischemia or
excess renal vasoconstrictor activity. Nevertheless,given the fact that 50 million
U.S. citizens report NSAID use, it has been estimated that 500,000 to 2.5 million
people will develop NSAID nephrotoxicity in this country annually
ANALGESIC NEPHROPATHY
Classic analgesic nephropathy, characterized by chronic tubulointerstitial
nephritis with papillary necrosis, was initially reported in 1953 and was
subsequently recognized as a worldwide public health concern. Chronic
excessive consumption of combination analgesics, particularly thosecontaining phenacetin, was believed to be the major cause and led to the
removal of phenacetin and phenacetin mixtures from mostworld markets.
Itwas subsequently thought, however, that abuse of contemporary
analgesics, aspirin, acetaminophen, and NSAIDs, alone or in combinations,
also results in analgesic nephropathy regardless of phenacetin content

NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by
proteinuria greater than 3.5 g/day per 1.73 m2,hypoproteinemia,
edema, and
hyperlipidemia.
A hypercoagulable state may also be present in some patients.
Thesyndrome may be the result of primary diseases of the glomerulus, orbe associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, lupus,
amyloidosis, and preeclampsia.
Hypoproteinemia, especially hypoalbuminemia, results from increased urinary
loss of albumin and an increased rate of catabolism of filtered albumin by
proximal tubular cells.
The compensatory increase in hepatic synthesis of albumin is
insufficient to replenish the protein loss, probably because of malnutrition.

The management of patients with glomerulonephritis
Specific pharmacologic therapy for the glomerular disease,
and supportif measures to prevent and/or treat the pathophysiologic sequelae,
namely hypertension, edema, and progression of renal disease.
In patients with nephrotic syndrome, supportive therapy should alsoaddress the management of extrarenal complications of heavy proteinuria,
namely hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and thromboembolism.
Patients with significant proteinuria tend to have a more rapid
decline of renal function. Thus reduction of proteinuria becomes
critical in delaying the rate of progression towards end-stage renaldisease.
Immunosuppressive agents, alone or in combination, are commonly
used to alter the immune processes that are responsible for the
glomerulonephritides.
Corticosteroids, in addition to their immunosuppressive effect, also possess
anti-inflammatory activities. They reduce the production and/or release of many
substances that mediate the inflammatory process, such as prostaglandins,
leukotrienes,platelet-activating factors, tumor necrosis factors (TNFs), and
interleukin-1 (IL-1)

1.Chronic kidney disease can affect all aspects of drug disposition, including
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination.
2 Changes in protein binding induced by renal failure can alter the relationship
between total drug concentration and response.
3 In addition to the expected changes in renal drug elimination, nonrenal drug
clearance (i.e., hepatic drug metabolism) may also be decreased in patients with
chronic kidney disease.
4 Individualization of a drug dosage regimen in a patient with renal disease isbased on the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the drug and the patients level of
renal function.
5 The effect of hemodialysis or chronic renal replacement therapy on drug
elimination is dependent on the characteristics of the drug and the dialysis
conditions.6.Acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD)
are often accompanied by alterations in several other organ systems
and results in the development of anemia, hyperparathyroidism,
bleeding abnormalities, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and changes
in gastrointestinal tract integrity

Erythropoietic Therapy
Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action.
Erythropoietic growth factors are required to stimulate division and differentiationof erythroid progenitor cells and induce the release of reticulocytes from
the bone marrow to the bloodstream where they mature into erythrocytes
(red blood cells).
Available erythropoietic agents include epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa and
Epoetin beta
These agents are glycoproteins manufactured by recombinant DNA technology
that have the same biological activity as endogenous erythropoietin. The amino
acid sequence of epoetin alfa is identical to the endogenous protein; however, the
carbohydrate structure differs. Since 1989, epoetin alfa has been the mainstay of
therapy for anemia of CKD and substantially reduced the percentage of patientsdependent on transfusions for management of anemia.
7/27/2019 01. Drug Kidney
49/53
Dosing and Administration.
Starting doses of epoetin alfa are 80to 120 units/kg per week for SC administration and 120 to 180 units/
kg per week for IV administration divided in two to three doses per
week (typically three times per week for hemodialysis patients
receiving IV therapy).
If a patient is converted from IV to SC epoetin and is not at the target
Hgb/Hct, the weekly SC dose should remain the same as the IV dose.
The starting dose of darbepoetin alfa in patients not previously
receiving erythropoietic therapy is 0.45 mcg/kg IV or SC administered
once weekly.

TABLE 452. Advantages and Disadvantages of Peritoneal Dialysis
Advantages
1. More hemodynamic stability (blood pressure) due to slow
ultrafiltration rate.2. Increased clearance of larger solutes, which may explain good
clinical status in spite of lower urea clearance.
3. Better preservation of residual renal function.
4. Convenient intraperitoneal route of administration of drugs such as
antibiotics and insulin.
5. Suitable for elderly and very young patients who may not toleratehemodialysis well.
6. Freedom from the machine gives the patient a sense of
independence (for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis).
7. Less blood loss and iron deficiency, resulting in easier management
of anemia or reduced requirements for erythropoietin and parenteral
iron.
8. No systemic heparinization requirement.
9. Subcutaneous versus intravenous erythropoietin or darbepoetin is
usual, which may reduce overall doses and be more physiologic.
7/27/2019 01. Drug Kidney

Disadvantages
1. Protein and amino acid losses through peritoneum and reducedappetite owing to continuous glucose load and sense of abdominal
fullness predispose to malnutrition.
2. Risk of peritonitis.
3. Catheter malfunction, exit site, and tunnel infection.
4. Inadequate ultrafiltration and solute dialysis in patients with a large
body size, unless large volumes and frequent exchanges areemployed.
5. Patient burnout and high rate of technique failure.
6. Risk of obesity with excessive glucose absorption.
7. Mechanical problems such as hernias, dialysate leaks, hemorrhoids,
or back pain may occur.
8. Extensive abdominal surgery may preclude peritoneal dialysis.9. No convenient access for intravenous iron administration.
