  2. Furosemide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furosemide

    Furosemide may increase the risk of digoxin toxicity due to hypokalemia. It is recommended that furosemide not be used during pregnancy or in a lactating mare, as it is passed through the placenta and milk in studies with other species. It should not be used in horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (Equine Cushing's Disease).

    A bolus intravenous dose of 10 or 20 mg of furosemide can be administered and then followed by intravenous bolus of 2 or 3% hypertonic saline to increase the serum sodium level. [12] Pulmonary edema - Slow intravenous bolus dose of 40 to 80 mg furosemide at 4 mg per minute is indicated for patients with fluid overload and pulmonary edema. Such ...

    This causes an increase in renal free water excretion (aquaresis), an increase in serum sodium concentration, a decrease in urine osmolality, and an increase in urine output. [16] 5. collecting duct: Na-H exchanger antagonists: dopamine [17] Promotes Na + excretion 2. proximal tubule [17] Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: acetazolamide, [17 ...

  5. Potassium-sparing diuretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-sparing_diuretic

    Aldosterone binds to aldosterone receptors (mineralocorticoid receptors) increasing sodium reabsorption in an effort to increase blood pressure and improve fluid status in the body. When excessive sodium reabsorption occurs, there is an increasing loss of K + in the urine and can lead to clinically significant decreases, termed hypokalemia .

  6. Tubuloglomerular feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubuloglomerular_feedback

    Sodium chloride is sensed by the macula densa mainly by an apical Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2). The relationship between the TGF and NKCC2 can be seen through the administration of loop diuretics like furosemide. [7] Furosemide blocks NaCl reabsorption mediated by the NKCC2 at the ascending loop of henle, which leads to increased renin release.

    Cantaloupe “Because its water content is a whopping 90%, cantaloupe is no doubt an effective natural diuretic,” says Nataly Georgieva, RD.. “The best part, it does not tax the liver like ...

  8. Na–K–Cl cotransporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na–K–Cl_cotransporter

    Furosemide and other loop diuretics inhibit the activity of NKCC2, thereby impairing sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The action of these loop diuretics also reduces potassium reabsorption through the NKCC2 cotransporter and consequently increases tubular flow rate which enhances potassium secretion and ...
