The article discusses the therapeutic functions of diuretics. It outlines how diuretics influenced kidney tubules in different regions to increase the production of urine and states the importance of understanding renal physiology to determine the appropriate diuretic prescription. It explores the different ...

Electrolytes and renal function need to be frequently monitored during diuretic titration and at least every 6 months in patients on stable long-term diuretics. One of the most common outpatient regimens is once daily furosemide. However, given its serum half-life of only 1.5 hours, the kidney ...

It is suggested that physicians should be cautious in prescribing diuretics to patients with ARF due to septicemia. Diuretics cause uremia and may lead to false diagnosis of chronic renal failure and nonrecovery of renal function. The patient may unnecessarily require prolonged dialysis. 展开 ...

Thus, in settings of decreased renal function, doses must be increased to deliver more diuretic into the urine. In other edematous disorders, such as congestive heart failure (CHF) and cirrhosis, adequate amounts of diuretic reach the site of action if renal function is satisfactory. Diminished...
