Effect of frusemide on calcium excretion.

After giving oral frusemide (Lasix) to 14 normal volunteers significant hypercalciuria occurred in all of them. This could not be accounted for by any change in glomerular filtration rate, but was possibly due to decreased tubular reabsorption.

Effects of frusemide on the urinary excretion of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in normal man.

The effects of frusemide on the urinary excretion of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were investigated in eight healthy male subjects in a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study. Frusemide produced the expected rise in urinary dopamine excretion but it did not affect 5-HT excretion when compared with placebo. The lack of an effect on 5-HT excretion in man contrasts with studie...
