Furosemide is a loop diuretic drug that inhibits the pump responsible for active reabsorption of Na and Cl in the nephron loop.
Which of the following is one of the common side effects of furosemide? a. hypernatermia due to increased Na resorbtion
b. hypertension
c. excessive water resorption in the kidneys
d. uncreased natriuresis (Na loss)
Furosemide is used as drug for the treatment of diuresis. Furosemide helps to inhibit the protein pump that helps in the active reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the loop of henle of nephron.
This ultimately result in the loss of excess sodium ions from the body which leads to natriuresis.
