Loop diuretics are principally used in the following indications (Rossi, 2004): edema associated with heart failure, hepatic cirrhosis, renal impairment, nephrotic syndrome hypertension adjunct in cerebral/pulmonary edema where rapid diuresis is required (IV injection) They are also sometimes used in the management of severe hypercalcemia in combination with adequate rehydration (Rossi, 2004). ...

Loop diuretic - Clinical use: Encyclopedia II - Loop diuretic - Mechanism of action

Loop diuretics act on the Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter in the ascending loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption. Because magnesium and calcium reabsorption in the thick ascending loop is dependent on sodium and chloride concentrations, loop diuretics also inhibit their reabsorption. This raises the osmotic pressure inside the loop, driving more water into the filtrate causing increased urine volume. Loop diuretics also cause vasodilation of the veins and of the kidney's blood vessel ...

Loop diuretic - Clinical use: Encyclopedia II - Loop diuretic - Adverse effects

The most common adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are dose-related and relate to the effect of loop diuretics on diuresis and electrolyte balance. Common ADRs include: hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, dehydration, hyperuricemia, gout, dizziness, postural hypotension, syncope (Rossi, 2004). Infrequent ADRs include: dyslipidemia, increased serum creatinine concentration, hypocalcemia, rash (Rossi, 2004). Ototoxicity (damage to the ear) is a serious, but rare ADR associated with use of loop diuretics. This may be limited to tinnitus and vert ...

Renal insufficiency causes decreased bloodflow to the kidneys, which decreases the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and reduces the ability of loop diuretics to reach their target organ, the loop of Henle. Similarly, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs also decrease GFR with comparable results. In patients with reduced GFR, ceiling dosages of loop diuretics are increased proportional to the decrease in GFR. Simultaneous treatment with a thiazide diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide (to inhibit sodium reabsorpt ...
