BENFOTHIAMINE ADMINISTRATION IN PATIENTS WITH DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY AND ADVANCED HEART FAILURE WITH CHRONIC DIURETIC TREATMENT

Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Chemia, 2017
It is well known that long term administration of high dose loop diuretics in patients with heart failure, may in some cases aggravate the cardiac failure symptoms. Part of this effect may be due to thiamine depletion secondary to diuretics use. The aim

Loop Diuretics in Clinical Practice [PDF]

Electrolytes & Blood Pressure, 2015
Diuretics are commonly used to control edema across various clinical fields. Diuretics inhibit sodium reabsorption in specific renal tubules, resulting in increased urinary sodium and water excretion. Loop diuretics are the most potent diuretics. In this article, we review five important aspects of loop diuretics, in particular furosemide, which must ...
