In experiments on 11 normal subjects and on three dogs it has been observed that mercurial diuret-ics do not prevent the stimulation of water absorption and formation of hypertonic urine which characteristically follows the infusion of Pitressin. Furthermore mercurial diuretics only rarely increase urine flow when administered in the course of maximal water diuresis. These two facts are interpr...

INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF) are a frequent combination, where treatment options remain limited. There has been increasing interest around the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and their use in patients with HF. Data on the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor use with diuretics are limited. We hypothesise that SGLT2 inhibition may augment the effects of loop d...

we have studied hypokalemic action of different diuretics in a cooperative study on 28 patients and our results are as follows: i. 28 patients (18 male and 10 female) were the subject of our present study. 2. e. c. g. was taken systematically on all individuals. 3. clinical signs and symptoms of hypokalemia was looked for in d lily examination of the patients. 4. dietary k, na, and ci could not...

BACKGROUND Thiazide and loop diuretics are secreted from the proximal tubule via the organic anion transport system to reach their principal sites of action. Recently, a multispecific organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) was identified in rat kidney and was localized to the basolateral membrane of the S2 segment in the proximal tubule. We postulated that interactions between thiazide or loop diur...

In the present study, we addressed the question of whether treatment with mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, affects astrogliovascular responses to status epilepticus (SE). In saline-treated animals, astrocytes exhibited reactive astrogliosis in the CA1-3 regions 2-4 days after SE. In the mannitol-treated animals, a large astroglial empty zone was observed in the CA1 region 2 days after SE. This as...

1 This study aimed to examine whether administration of potassium or ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel) blockers caused early increases in renal kallikrein (KK) secretion. To clarify this mechanism, the effect on renal KK secretion of a KATP channel blocker was compared with the effect resulting from use of an osmotic diuretic or volume load. Furthermore, the effect on potassium-ind...
