Only indirectly. If too much of a loop diuretic (e.g. furosemide) is taken, and the individual becomes severely dehydrated, as a result, then it is possible for a metabolic encephalopathy to ensue, thus causing confusion, mumbled or slurred speech, and more.

Can Demerol be used with a loop diuretic?
Yes, Demerol can be used with a loop diuretic
How diuretic absorb in kidney?
A loop diuretic affects the loops of Henle which regulate the uptake of sodium. The diuretic signal the kidney not to absorb calcium, potassium and magnesium and sodium The side effects are muscle weakness , cramps and palpitations.
Which class of diuretic has the most rapid onset of action?
Loop diuretics have the quickest onset of action. They are called loop diuretics because they act in the loop of henle in the kidneys. The main loop diuretics are: Furosemide, Bumetanide and Torasemide
Why errors in data can cause problems?
Supplies an incomplete path to coded operation. Breaks the loop in the chain.
Why is it important to monitor serum potassium level in patient receiving loop diuretic thiazide and digoxin?

How is a loop diruetic used to treat heart failure?
Fluid retention is common in heart failure cases. A loop diuretic such as frusemide can cause massive diruesis which leads to a smaller blood volume. It can hence reduce pulmonary and peripheral edema. Since loop diruetics reduce the blood volume, the preload will also be reduced. This will lead to the workload of the failing heart being reduced.
How do you a change a loop back ip address?
I don't think it is possible in DOS or windows, but you wouldn't want to change the localhost (loop back) address of 127.0.0.1 for it would cause a lot of problems with every part of your system.
What are the problems of open loop?
overshoot and stability
How diuretics cause alkalosis?
Often when taking diuretics you are also prescribed Potassium(K). Because the most common "loop" diuretics cause you to pee out excess K. Alkalosis is a result of too much Bicarbonate (HCO3) or too little Hydrogen ion (H). Because of the processes and membranes of the kidney where the K goes the H follows. So if you are taking a loop diuretic and loosing too much K you are also loosing too much H resulting in alkalosis. This is not standard across the board for all diuretics and don't take K just because you are taking a diuretic - too much K can make your heart stop. It is a very fine balance.
What is the phonological loop hypothesis?
The Phonological Loop Hypothesis refers to the existence of a Phonological Loop. (also called an Articulatory Loop. In other words what is the scientific evidence to show the the Phonological Loop exisits. The Phonological Loop is an important component in the Working Model of Memory. It main function is to store the order of phonological information. In other words, information that can be coded as speech sounds.

How would a diuretic affect water reabsorption into the blood?
A diuretic is a substance that tends to cause diuresis (increased urine flow) by hindering the amount of water reabsorbed back into the blood. the mechanism of how this occurs depends on the type of diuretic. for example some diuretics impede the body's ability to reabsorb Na at the ascending loop of Henle thus not increasing the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid which would in turn cause water reabsorption, so the water remains in the lumen of the nephron and is excreted causing increased urine volume. other diuretics may act on the proximal and distal convoluted tubules causing water retension due to decreased Nacl reabsorption or Na reabsorption or even potassium. Due to the fact that a diuretic will cause water to lost in the urine, this will cause an increase in osmolarity above the setpoint of 300mOsm/L, therefore more ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) is released into the bloodstream. When ADH reaches the kidney, its main targets are the distal tubules and the collecting ducts. The ADH brings about changes that make the epithelium more permeable to water. the resulting increase in water reabsorption concentrates the urine, reducing urine volume and lowers blood osmolarity back to set point.
