Abstract:
Furosemide (FUR), a drug that promotes urine excretion, is used in the pharmacotherapy of various diseases and is considered as a doping agent in sports. FUR is a powerful diuretic (water pill). This medicine is used to treat excessive fluid accumulation and swelling (edema) of the body caused by heart failure, cirrhosis, chronic kidney failure, and nephrotic syndrome. Owing to its extensive use as a powerful diuretic, FUR has long attracted the attention of many analysts. A variety of analytical methods have been proposed for the determination of FUR in biological fluids and pharmaceutical samples. The revision includes the most relevant analytical methodologies used in its determination from the nineties decade at present.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
