How does furosemide treat hypertension?
Hypertension occurs when a person's blood pressure is chronically elevated. This is defined as having a diastolic blood pressure of over 140 and a systolic blood pressure of over 90. Essential hypertension occurs when the causes of hypertension is unknown whereas secondary hypertension occurs when there is an identifiable cause. Furosemide can be used to treat hypertension. It is a loop diruetic and it is one of the most effective diruetic for treating hypertension. It prevents NaCl re-absorption at the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. This results in salt and water loss, reduced extracellular fluid volume and hence decreased cardiac output. As furosemide causes the excretion of potassium, it can lead to hypokalemia with fatal consequences. It may also cause hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia.
