Diuretics, fluid retentionheart failure(Heart failure) is an important component of patient treatment strategy.use separatelyFurosemideOr single usecaptopriltreatmentcontrast test It was found that fluid retention often occurred in patients with heart failure who were treated with captopril, rather than those who were treated with diuretics.Multicenter testAll the patients included were patients with heart failure whose symptoms and fluid retention were completely controlled, who could not maintain clinical stability for a long time with a single diureticAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI)Combined application will reduce the chance of clinical decompensation.Therefore, diuretics are indispensable for the treatment of heart failure.
Diuretics can be divided into several types. Different diuretics have different diuretic principles or different parts of action, and their side effects are largely the same.Diuretics can lead to decreased blood pressure and dehydration. Most diuretics causeHypokalemia, except potassium sparing diuretics.Patients with hypokalemia are encouraged to eat foods rich in potassium.Attention should be paid to blood potassium when using diuretics, because hypokalemia can easily lead to digitalis poisoning.Diuretics are generally recommended to be taken in the morning, not at night before sleep, so as not to affect sleep.Observe the urine volume after using diuretics.
Medullary loopDiuretics, also called diureticsHeinz Loop diuretics: the main drug is furosemide (Lasix), which inhibits sodium reabsorption in the medullary loop.It causes low sodium and potassium, gastrointestinal discomfort, hypotension, blood suppression, and other important side effects:Ototoxicity。
protectpotassiumDiuretics (Potassium sparing diuretics): most diuretics excrete potassium, and only a few diuretics retain potassium.The most common one in the RN exam isSpironolactonePotassium retaining diuretic, spironolactone(SpironolactoneThe main side effects of these drugs areHyperkalemia, blood suppression, low potassium diet.

Diuretics began to reduce blood pressure in 1948, but due to the toxicity and necessity of mercury diureticsintramuscular injection, cannot be popularized.Chlorothiazide came out in 1957. For more than 30 yearsHydrochlorothiazide(Dihydrochlorothiazide) based thiazide diuretics have always been antiHypertension drugsOfMain forceOne, whether used alone or with other antihypertensionThe combination of drugs has clear curative effect.The results of large-scale international clinical trials over the past decades have further confirmed its position in the treatment of hypertension.Europe and AmericaSeveral hypertension management principle committees recommend nonecomplicationThe first choice of diuretics was diuretics. Until the recent JNC-VI report (1997) in the United States, it was still advocated that nonecomplicationPatients with hypertension, with diuretics andBeta blockerIt is a first-line drug.In recent years, new diureticsIndapamide(Shoubi MountainThe launch of indapmid) has improved the position of diuretics in the treatment of hypertension. It is characterized by that the commonly used dosage only shows slight diuretic effect, mainly shown asVasodilationAction (the drug has calciumAntagonism), depressurizationEfficiencyIt is about 80%, and does not have the side effects of metabolic abnormalities caused by traditional diuretics. It has been widely used in clinical practice.

1. Single drug treatment: according to the generally recommended dosage, all kinds of antiHypertension drugsThe range of blood pressure reduction is generally similar.The typical situation isplaceboControl ratio, averagesystolic pressure160/95mmHgUsually, single drug treatment reduces systolic blood pressure by 7~13mmHg anddiastolic pressure4~8mmHg。
twoCombined medicationTreatment: there are 6 kinds of antiHypertension drugsAny combination of two or more drugs can reduce blood pressure more than any single drug.HOT test proved that the combination of drugs is very effective.The hypotensive effect of combination drugs is about twice as large as that of single drug treatment, that is, if the blood pressure of patients with 160/95mmHg is reduced by 8-15%, that is, the systolic pressure is reduced by 12-22mmHg and the diastolic pressure is reduced by 8-12mmHg

3. OnHypertension emergencyShort acting diuretics such as furosemide should be used.Hypertension is often treated for life. Long acting diuretics such asIndapamide(indapmid), less side effects.Hydrochlorothiazide andCalcium antagonistorACEIIt can be used in small amount, 6.25~12.5mg/day.Spironolactone(Spironolactone, spironolactone) commonly used in hypertensionheart failureOf patients,Aminopteridine(triamterene) has weak diuretic effect and is rarely used alone.
4. Its side effects are dose related, so the dose should be small.
5. Patients should not limit sodium excessively or take high sodium intake. Generally, they should limit sodium moderately, 5-8g per day.
6. Take an appropriate amount of potassium supplement, 1-3 grams per day, or use potassium sparing diuretics in combination.Encourage people to eat more potassium rich foods and fruits, such as celery,Banana, orange juice, etc.To sum up, inhypertensionAfter 40 years of long-term treatment, diuretics are stillBe treated asFirst-line medication。However, in the treatment, appropriate patients should be selected and possible side effects should be noted.

1. "Cardiotoxicity" of diuretics.In 1987, Kaplan, a famous American heart expert, believed that hydrochlorothiazide could not be reducedmyocardial infarctionincidence rate, possibly due to "cardiotoxicity" andLipid metabolism disorderCaused by.Multiple risk factor intervention trials in the United States found that hypertension patients withAbnormal ECGSudden death increased after diuretic treatment.Framingham'sepidemiologyIt is also reported that diuretics may increase the risk of sudden death in the treatment of hypertension.However, some scholars think that no matter whether there is data or notHypokalemiaNo increase in thiazide diureticsVentricular arrhythmiaThe incidence of.
twoHypokalemia。Various diuretics can reduce the blood potassium by about 0.5mmol/L, some patients can maintain the blood potassium in the normal range, but 10-15% of patients can reduce the blood potassium to less than 3.5mmol/L, some patients even if the blood potassium is normal, but the whole body isPotassium deficiencyStatus, also available inStress responseWhen potassium enters the cell, hypokalemia occurs, which can increase the stress responseMyocardial ischemiaMalignancy caused byVentricular arrhythmia。Among various diuretics, thiazide diuretics and furosemide cause obvious hypokalemia. Long acting thiazide diuretics (such asChlorthiazone)It is more obvious than the medium effect hydrochlorothiazide. The hypokalemia caused by hydrochlorothiazide is related to the dose. The higher the dose, the higher the incidence of hypokalemia.If moderate sodium restriction (60~80mEg/day) causes the least loss of potassium, high sodium or excessive sodium restriction causes hypokalemia.Therefore, potassium sparing diuretics or appropriate potassium supplement can be added during application.

Electrolyte disorder
They are low in potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium and magnesium.
It is a common side effect associated with the diuretic effect of diuretics. It is particularly prone to occur in the case of large dose, long course of treatment, and the use of loop diuretics, and low potassium andHyponatremiaMost common.HypokalemiaCan cause fatigueArrhythmia、Intestinal peristalsisDisorders (evenEnteroparalysis)Excessive digitalis;Hyponatremia causes burnoutLethargy, irritability or even coma;HypocalcemiaCause arrhythmiaMuscle spasm, convulsions, etc;HypomagnesemiaCauses arrhythmia.In clinical practice, the following methods can be used to avoid or reduce theElectrolyte disorder。
terms of settlement
1. SupplementelectrolyteIn order to avoid the occurrence of electrolyte disorder, the most commonly used method in clinical practice is to supplement properly.Oral or intravenous potassium supplementation is the most commonly used method.In order to avoid gastric irritation caused by oral potassium supplementsSlow-release potassiumOral.according todiuresisThe dosage of potassium supplement depends on the degree of potassium supplementation. During the supplement process, the electrolyte should be rechecked.Other electrolytes are not routinely supplemented when diuretics are used, but must be supplemented in the following cases: low sodium, low magnesium or hypocalcemia is found during biochemical determination;When digitalis is excessive, magnesium is usually supplemented routinely;When a muscle twitch occurs in a part of the body, hypocalcemia is considered.
It was previously believed that small doses of thiazide diuretics such asHydrochlorothiazide12.5 mg, orIndapamide2.5mg will not causeHypokalemia, butPractical proofIt is advisable to supplement a small amount of potassium at the same time in old age and poor eating.
2. With potassium sparing diuretics orAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI) combination: when a small dose of thiazide diuretic (12.5~25mg) is combined with potassium retaining diuretics or ACEI, it is generally not necessary to add additional potassium, but becauseindividual differenceIt is relatively large, so the blood potassium should be rechecked at the early stage of medication.On the contrary, when large doses of diuretics, especially loop diuretics, are used together with the above drugs, the dosage of potassium supplement should be reduced according to the situation, and attention should be paid to rechecking the electrolyte.
Decreased blood pressure

Elevated blood uric acid
It is an adverse reaction of long-term use of diuretics in large doses.It is common in patients with heart failure.It should be measured regularlyBlood uric acidLevel, if necessary, add uric acid lowering drugs such asAllopurinol。
Impaired glucose tolerance
It is also an adverse reaction of long-term use of large doses of diuretics.The dosage of medication should be reduced as far as possible to avoid it. For patients whose dosage cannot be reduced, attention should be paid to appropriately reduce weight and increase the amount of activity.
Metabolic disorder
It is an adverse reaction of long-term use of diuretics in large doses.AstriglycerideAnd cholesterol increase, if necessary, use lipid regulating drugs.
Azotemia
It is commonly used in the case of insufficient circulating blood volume caused by drugs, such as large dose of diuretics, or when combined with other vasodilators.In patients with heart failure, diuretic relatedAzotemiaIt is common. The treatment methods include properly reducing the dosage of diuretics or ACEI, and appropriately expanding the volume when necessary.
Diuretics play an important role in modern hypertension treatment.However, in most cases, small doses of thiazides are recommended, mainlyHydrochlorothiazide6.25 ~ 25mg/d, which is less likely to causeElectrolyte disorder, rarely cause obvious metabolic abnormalities.Loop diuretic is only used for hypertensive patientsRenal insufficiencyPatients.
stayheart failureDiuretics are one of the most effective drugs to relieve patients' symptoms.With the full play of diuretics,Urine outputWe should pay attention to supplement electrolytes and take intravenous medicationAcute heart failureSpecial attention shall be paid to.aboutchronic heart failureIt is often used together with ACEI. For patients with severe heart failure, a small dose of spironolactone is also recommended. Therefore, it is necessary to recheck blood potassium and supplement potassium appropriately according to the situation.

(1)Renal blood flowDecrease.The effect of diuretics depends on adequate renal blood flow. Only by maintaining important renal blood flow can diuretics give full play to its diuretic effect;
(2)Electrolyte disorder。In the process of diuresis, especially when a large number of drugs are used continuously, electrolyte disorder often occurs, leading to the decline of diuretic effect;
(3)secondaryaldosteroneIncrease.cirrhosisAfter a large amount of diuresis, the decrease of effective circulation volume may cause the secondary increase of anabolismAlkalosis;
(5) A weak constitution.Physical weakness, often secondaryadrenal cortexThe function is delayed, so the response to diuretics is poorprednisoneordexamethasoneAfter 3-5 days, good reaction can be obtained by using diuretic;
(6) Others.Rest or avoiding salt is also an important link to ensure the effectiveness of diuretics,Etiological treatmentof courseNot to be ignoredIn addition, attention should also be paid to whether there is low blood sodium and other conditions. The diuretic effect can be obvious only after correcting the causes of non directional low blood sodium.
