Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Pendrin Potentiate the Diuretic Action of Furosemide

Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Pendrin Potentiate the Diuretic Action of Furosemide.

Pendrin is a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger expressed in type B and non-A, non-B intercalated cells in the distal nephron, where it facilitates Cl- absorption and is involved in Na+ absorption and acid-base balance. Pendrin-knockout mice show no fluid-electrolyte abnormalities under baseline conditions, although mice with double knockout of pendrin and the Na+/Cl- cotransporter (NCC) manifest profound sal...

Does albumin preinfusion potentiate diuretic action of furosemide in patients with nephrotic syndrome?

The aim of this cross-over study was to investigate whether albumin infusion before furosemide administration could potentiate the diuretic action of furosemide. Seven patients with nephrotic syndrome were given the following infusions in random order on two separate days: 1) a sham solution followed by 160 mg of furosemide, 2) 100 ml of 20% human albumin followed by 160 mg of furosemide. Urine...

Furosemide. A clinical evaluation of its diuretic action.

FUROSEMIDE (4 chloro-N[2-furyl methyl] -5-sulfamyl-anthranilic acid) (fig. 1) is a new and potent diuretic compound which is effective when given either orally or parenterally. Structurally it has in common with substituted thiazides a sulfamyl-benzene grouping. Animal studies have revealed it to be a most effective diuretic in both rats and dogs, resulting in maximum diuretic effects of up to ...
