    Notes: Summary Diuretics are classified according to their site of action in the nephron: loop diuretics, thiazides, and antikaliuretics. During peak diuresis the pattern of electrolyte excretion is constant and characteristic for a class of diuretics. The ratio of diuretic-induced excretion of K+ to Na+ is 0.12 for loop diuretics, 0.20 for thiazides, and −0.21 for antikaliuretics. The ratio of Ca2+ to Na+ is 0.02 for loop diuretics and 0.003 for thiazides. Mg2+ excretion follows K+ excretion in a ratio of 0.15. The natriuretic effect of a diuretic directly depends on the renal clearance of the drug and is proportionate to the number of intact nephrons. Not only loop diuretics but also thiazides and antikaliuretics were demonstrated to be effective natriuretic drugs down to end-stage renal disease. In renal failure FENa is doubled with every halfening of GFR. Loop diuretics increase FENa to a maximum of 24%, thiazides to 10–15%, and FENa is doubled by antikaliuretics. Comedication of loop diuretics with thiazides in renal failure may therefore be more effective than increasing monotherapy. In liver disease, nonrenal drug clearance is reduced the more the patient's direct bilirubin rises thus causing an increase in AUC and urinary excretion of parent drug and metabolites. Despite increased Ae, the cirrhotic patient may become resistant to diuretics as may patients with congestive heart failure or nephrotic syndrome. This is considered to be due to reduced Na+ load available at the diuretic's site of action following avid proximal Na+ reabsorption. In reduced EABV a short-term comedication of loop diuretics with carboanhydratase inhibitors is considered a more effective diuretic strategy than vigorously increasing monotherapy.

    Low-dose segmental blockade of the nephron rather than high-dose diuretic monotherapy (1993)

    Notes: Summary The specific renal effect of diuretics is due to the fact that their concentrations is almost 100-fold greater in the renal tubule than in the plasma. The function of the different segments of the nephron may be altered following changes in the effective arterial blood volume (EABV) and the extracellular fluid volume (ECFV). In diseases with reduced EABV, e.g., congestive heart failure, decompensated cirrhosis of the liver, and the nephrotic syndrome, proximal tubular hyperreabsorption of sodium occurs, leaving only a low Na+ load in the distal segments of the nephron, the site of diuretic action. Clinically, the response to diuretics is reduced or resistance to diuretics may even ensue, which can be predicted by a FENa 〈 0.2%. Resistance to diuretics can be overcome by short-term comedication with acetazolamide, which increases Na+ delivery to the site of action of the other diuretics used concomitantly. In states with increased ECFV e.g. in chronic renal failure, there is distal tubular Na+ rejection, leading to a greater increase in FENa the more GFR is reduced. The remaining intact nephrons present a relatively increased response to diuretics. The efficacy of diuretic treatment in renal failure can be optimised by combining loop diuretics with thiazides. In conclusion, low-dose combination therapy, inducing “segmental blockade of the nephron”, meets the functional changes along the nephron. It is therefore more effective and safer than high-dose monotherapy.

    Notes: Abstract To prevent drug accumulation and adverse effects the dose of hydrophilic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, e. g. lisinopril, must be reduced in patients with renal failure. To obtain a rational basis for dose recommendations, we undertook a prospective clinical trial. After 15 days of lisinopril treatment pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were determined in patients with advanced renal failure (n=8; endogenous creatinine clearance [CLCR]: 18 ml·min−1·1.73m−2) and in healthy subjects with normal renal function (n=16; CLCR: 107 ml·min−1·1.73m−2). The volunteers received 10 mg lisinopril once daily, the daily dose in patients (1.1–2.2 mg) was adjusted to the individual CLCR according to the method of Dettli [13]. After 15 days of lisinopril treatment the mean maximal serum concentration (C max) in patients was lower than in volunteers (30.7 vs 40.7 ng·ml−1, while the mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC 0–24 h) was higher (525 vs 473 ng·h−1·ml−1). ACE activity on day 15 was almost completely inhibited in both groups. Plasma renin activity, angiotensin I and angiotensin II levels documented marked inhibition of converting enzyme in volunteers and patients. Furthermore, average mean arterial blood pressure in patients decreased by 5 mmHg and proteinuria from 3.9–2.7 g per 24 h after 15 days of treatment with the reduced dose of lisinopril. Adjustment of the dose of lisinopril prevents significant accumulation of the drug in patients with advanced renal failure during chronic therapy. Mean serum levels did not exceed this in subjects with normal renal function receiving a standard dose. Despite substantial dose reduction, blood pressure and proteinuria decreases were observed.

    Increase in magnesium plasma level after orally administered trimagnesium dicitrate (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Magnesium plasma concentrations were measured in healthy probands before and after administration of trimagnesium dicitrate by the oral and intravenous routes. There was a notable circadian fluctuation of the plasma concentration with a peak in the evening hours. After oral administration of 12 and 24 mmol magnesium, a long-lasting, statistically significant increase in plasma magnesium concentration measured as the increase in area under the curve (AUC) between 0 and 12 h, of 3.1% and 4.6%, respectively, was found. After intravenous administration of 4 and 8 mmol magnesium, AUCs increased by 9.5% and 16.1%, respectively. The decline in the plasma magnesium concentration after i.v. administration was compatible with a three-compartment model with a terminal half-time of about 8 h. Although no absolute value of the oral bioavailability of trimagnesium dicitrate could be determined from the data, our results may be important in helping to elucidate the influence of magnesium preparations on the plasma magnesium concentration. By comparing the effects of different preparations, it should be possible to estimate the relative oral bioavailability and the bioequivalence of these preparations.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of the antikaliuretic amiloride has been studied in healthy controls and in patients with chronic renal failure or hepatitis. It was 40% bound to protein. In healthy volunteers 49% of an oral dose was recovered unchanged in the urine. The renal clearance of amiloride was about 3 times the creatinine clearance, which means that it was predominantly excreted via tubular secretion. Renal impairment reduced the clearance of amiloride, causing a prolongation of the t1/2 and drug accumulation in plasma. In hepatitis the t1/2 of amiloride was prolonged and the AUC increased. Urinary recovery (Ae) of amiloride was greater in hepatitis patients than in controls.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of the ß1-selective adrenergic antagonist (R,S)-celiprolol has been studied after oral administration of 200 mg celiprolol-HCl to 8 healthy volunteers and 8 patients with various degrees of impaired renal function. No significant difference was found between the two enantiomers in the control group or in the patients. In healthy volunteers an average of 9.8% of the dose of R-(+)-celiprolol and 9.5% of S-(-)-celiprolol was recovered unchanged in the urine. Renal impairment reduced the urinary excretion of both enantiomers to the same extent according to the severity of the uraemia, producing higher AUCs. Nevertheless, the terminal half-lives of the R- and S-enantiomers were not significantly different between the groups. Dosage reduction in patients with renal impairment does not seem to be necessary.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of bendroflumethiazide (BFT) was investigated following the oral administration of 10 mg to 3 healthy volunteers. Each subject participated twice in the study. BFT was determined in plasma and cantharides blister fluid from 1/2 to 30 h post administration. Blister fluid was obtained from blisters 10–22 h old. Plasma levels were fitted to a tri-exponential equation and the concentration of the drug in the peripheral compartment was calculated from the microscopic rate constants. In 5 of 6 cases investigated, cantharides blister fluid levels paralleled the concentration of the drug in the peripheral compartment. The mean blister fluid levels exceeded the calculated concentration in Compartment 2 1.46 fold. In one case, the blister fluid level paralleled the plasma level. This subject clearly differed from the others as more than 10 h were required for blister formation in her. The results suggest that following the administration of BFT, cantharides blister fluid behaves as part of the peripheral compartment. The possible value of studying blister fluid levels in pharmacokinetic investigations is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) was investigated in 23 subjects with normal renal function or widely varying degrees of renal failure. The half-life of elimination increased from 6.4 h in subjects with normal renal function to 11.5 h in patients with mild renal impairment (endogenous creatinine clearance between 30 and 90 ml/min), and to 20.7 h in patients with an endogenous creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min. The cumulative urinary excretion and the renal HCT clearance were correspondingly reduced in patients with impaired kidney function. In normal subjects HCT was mainly excreted by tubular secretion, but as renal HCT clearance in patients with renal impairment did not differ significantly from endogenous creatinine clearance, it was concluded that the secretory mechanism is most markedly impaired. In patients with an endogenous creatinine clearance of 30 to 90 ml/min, the dosage of HCT should be reduced to 1/2 and in patients with a endogenous creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min to 1/4 of the normal daily dose to avoid dose dependant side-effects.

    Notes: Summary With a new formulation, which made intravenous infusion of triamterene (TA) possible, plasma levels and urinary excretion rates of TA and its main metabolite (OH-TA-ester) were measured in a randomized, cross-over trial in 6 healthy volunteers given triamterene 10 mg i.v. and 50 mg p.o. TA and OH-TA-ester were determined by densitometric measurement of native fluorescence after thin layer chromatography. Distribution volumes of the central compartment of TA and OH-TA-ester were 1.49 l/kg and 0.11 l/kg, respectively. Terminal half-lives were 255 min for TA and 188 min for OH-TA-ester after i.v. administration. For TA total plasma clearance was 4.5 l/min and renal plasma clearance 0.22 l/kg. The formation of OH-TA-ester was very rapid and the concentration of the metabolite exceeded that of TA at all times. After i.v. administration the urinary recovery of TA and OH-TA-ester was 4.4% and 50.9%, respectively. The bioavailability of TA was 52%, corresponding to absorption of 83%. TA is partly eliminated by a first-pass-effect. The main metabolite of TA is OH-TA-ester, which is pharmacologically active.

    Notes: Summary The effect of a single oral dose of 40 mg xipamide on urinary excretion of Na+, K+, Cl−, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in healthy subjects and in patients with varying degrees of renal impairment was compared with various conventional diuretics. Xipamide caused marked excretion of Na+ and Cl−, whereas the diuretic produced only moderate kaliuresis; urinary excretion of Ca2+ was increased in proportion to Na+, like the loop diuretics. Xipamide affected electrolyte excretion even in patients with a creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min, as do the loop diuretics, too. Therefore, the pharmacodynamic characteristics of xipamide are more like those of a loop diuretic than of a thiazide. Xipamide was good bioavailable, its t1/2β was 7 h and urinary recovery of the undegraded drug was 40% of the given dose. In renal insufficiency, t1/2β increased from 7 to only 9 h, yielding a moderate increase in the AUC. Urinary recovery of the drug was reduced in proportion to the reduction in the creatinine clearance of the patient. Therefore, significant extrarenal elimination of the diuretic must be postulated, which suffices to prevent significant drug accumulation in renal failure.
