Loop Diuretics in Clinical Practice [PDF]
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 ...

Pharmacogenetics of loop diuretics
Objective Genetic variability in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of diuretics is incompletely studied. We compared the extent of variability in different loop diuretics and determined to what extent this is influenced by polymorphisms in candidate genes. Methods Single oral doses of bumetanide 2 mg, furosemide 80 mg and torasemide 10
