Abstract:
Loop diuretics are regarded as essential for the treatment of edematous conditions in heart failure, cirrhosis, and renal disease. The principal mechanism of action involves inhibiting the reabsorption of ions (Na+, 2Cl-, and K+) from the ascending loop of Henle. The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) features of the commonly used diuretics (torsemide, furosemide, and bumetanide) influence the selection of diuretics in various disease states and dosing regimens. However, torsemide demonstrates superior PK and PD qualities, making it the preferred choice. Genetic polymorphisms must be explored to better understand the diversity of PK and PD parameters of loop diuretics between individuals.
