Abstract:
Recent epidemiological studies show significant prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. Diuretics are critical in therapy ofvolume overload and hypertension commonly encountered in these patients. However, they frequently demonstrate relevant diuretic resistance, and from the other hand diuretic overdose may lead to dehydratation and worsening of kidney function. In this paper the main principles of diuretic treatment in CKD are described, including the diuretic agent and its dose selection, as well as adverse effects of the therapy.
