The use of NSAIDs may decrease the efficacy of diuretics and induce congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients treated with diuretics. OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk of CHF associated with combined use of diuretics and NSAIDs in patients older than 55 years. METHO...
متن کاملEffect of thiazide diuretics on plasma volume, body electrolytes, and excretion of aldosterone in hypertension.
BENZOTHIADIAZINE (" thiazide ") derivatives unquestionably are effective hypotensive agents, but the mechanism by which they reduce blood pressure has not been elucidated. Theories advanced to explain their hypotensive action include reduction of the volume of plasma and extracellular fluids, depletion of body sodium, other more obscure effects of diuresis, and a depressor effect unrelated to t...
متن کاملPlasma arginine vasopressin in hyponatraemic patients receiving diuretics.
Random estimations of plasma arginine vasopressin concentration were undertaken in 6 non-oedematous patients receiving diuretic therapy for hypertension, who were admitted to hospital with severe hyponatraemia. Hyponatraemia resolved within 2 weeks of discontinuing the diuretic. Measurable amounts of plasma arginine vasopressin were detected in all 6 patients. Sequential biochemical measurement...
متن کاملA study of plasma sodium levels in elderly people taking amiloride or triamterene in combination with hydrochlorothiazide.
This study was performed to compare the effect of one month's treatment with hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg) in combination with either amiloride (2.5 mg) or triamterene (50 mg) on plasma sodium levels in elderly people in institutional care. Fifty residents of NHS nursing or social service residential care established on diuretics for congestive cardiac failure and aged 64 years or over were recru...
متن کاملThiamin, selenium, and copper levels in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy taking diuretics.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the association of thiamin, selenium, and copper serum levels with cardiac function in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy using diuretics, and also to compare them with levels in control patients with no evidence of disease. METHODS The study comprised 30 patients with heart disease and 30 healthy control individuals. Thiamin was analyzed by measuring the act...
