	Use of inhaled loop diuretics for treating allergen-induced nasal reactions - Patent 5392767
		Loop diuretics, particularly their well known representative furosemide, are effective drugs for the treatment of allergen-induced nasal reactions, if a solution of the loop diuretic is nebulized into the nostrils.
		Loop diuretics are for instance bumetanid, ethacrynic acid, etolozine or piretanide, torasemide, indacrinon, azosemide, besides furosemide.
		To investigate whether furosemide, one of the typical representatives of the loop diuretics has a protective activity on the allergic reactions in the nasal mucosa a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover study on the effect of inhaled furosemide on the response to nasal allergen challenge was performed.

	Loop diuretic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Loop diuretics are diuretics that act on the ascending loop of Henle in the kidney.
		Loop diuretics act on the Na-K-2Cl symporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption.
		Loop diuretics also cause vasodilation of the veins and of the kidney's blood vessels, mechanically causing a decrease in blood pressure.

	GUIDELINE 12: USE OF DIURETICS IN CKD
		Loop diuretics are primarily bound to albumin, which is reduced in patients with uremia and the nephrotic syndrome.
		Diuretic resistance in CKD may be due to an independent cause of increased tubular reabsorption of sodium, such as nephrotic syndrome, heart failure, cirrhosis, or use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
		In patients with specific conditions causing increased sodium reabsorption, the response to a loop diuretic is attenuated in relationship to the severity of the underlying disease, and substantially higher doses of furosemide may be necessary to achieve a diuresis.

	Diuretic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diuretics also decrease the extracellular fluid (ECF) volume, and are primarily used to produce a negative extracellular fluid balance.
		Some diuretics, such as acetazolamide, help to make the urine more alkaline and are helpful in increasing excretion of substances such as aspirin in cases of overdose or poisoning.
		The antihypertensive actions of some diuretics (thiazides and loop diuretics in particular) are independent of their diuretic effect.

	Medicines - Loop diuretics (e.g. furosemide/frusemide)
		Loop diuretics are most commonly used to relieve the symptoms of heart failure, such as breathlessness, swollen feet and ankles, and tiredness.
		The loop diuretics furosemide and bumetanide need to be taken with care in pregnancy or breastfeeding, while torasemide is not considered suitable.
		Loop diuretics are usually taken first thing in the morning, and then sometimes in the early afternoon, so that the increased urine production they cause doesn't interfere with sleep.

	[No title]
		After sodium is passed on by the proximal tubule, loop diuretics act on it in the inside passage of the loop of Henle - thus the name "loop" diuretics.
		Loop diuretic effectiveness is not just from the amount of drug that makes it to the kidney, but also from how long the drug stays there to do its thing.
		The effectiveness of loop diuretics is also related to the amount of sodium in the kidney's loop of Henle.

	Diuretics - diuretic medications
		Diuretics - class of drugs that increase the volume of urine (diuresis) by promoting the excretion of salts (especially sodium and potassium) and water via the kidneys.
		Diuretics are used to reduce the oedema due to salt and water retention in disorders of the kidneys, heart, or liver.
		The use of diuretics can result in potassium deficiency; this is corrected by the simultaneous administration of a potassium supplement or by adding another diuretic with a potassium-sparing effect, such as amiloride or triamterene.

	diuretics
		Because loop and thiazide diuretics increase sodium delivery to the distal segment of the distal tubule, this increases potassium loss (potentially causing hypokalemia) because the increase in distal tubular sodium concentration stimulates the aldosterone-sensitive sodium pump to increase sodium reabsorption in exchange for potassium and hydrogen ion, which are lost to the urine.
		Because this class of diuretic has relatively weak effects on overall sodium balance, they are often used in conjunction with thiazide or loop diuretics to help prevent hypokalemia.
		Potassium-sparing, aldosterone-blocking diuretics (e.g., spironolactone) are used in secondary hypertension caused by hyperaldosteronism, and sometimes as an adjunct to thiazide treatment in primary hypertension to prevent hypokalemia.

		Diuretics work by increasing the amount of salt and water eliminated by the kidneys, thus reducing blood pressure and work load on the heart.
		Diuretic treatment usually starts with low doses that are increased if necessary to increase urine output and reduce body weight.
		Of the combination diuretics, all are typically taken once daily except for triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide which is taken once or twice daily.
