Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by damage to the clusters of small blood vessels in your kidneys that filter waste and excess water from your blood. 1987 Jul;141(7):769-71. doi: 10.1001/archpedi.1987.04460070071028.J Pak Med Assoc. Furosemide, like other loop diuretics, acts by inhibiting the luminal The action on the distal tubules is independent of any inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase or aldosterone; it also abolishes the corticomedullary osmotic gradient and blocks negative, as well as positive, Additionally, furosemide is a noncompetitive subtype-specific blocker of GABA-A receptors.The pharmacokinetics of furosemide are apparently not significantly altered by food.No direct relationship has been found between furosemide concentration in the plasma and furosemide efficacy.

During the control days the volume of urine and excretion of sodium returned to variable low levels never exceeding 40 mmol/24h.Results of three infusion treatments given to eight subjects with nephrotic syndrome.

Pergamon Press, New York, NY, 1990.AHFS Drug Information 2004. We gave each patient three treatments randomly from 8 am to noon, at intervals of at least two days—infusion of albumin 0.5 g/kg given as a 20% solution for four hours; infusion of frusemide 60 mg bolus followed by 40 mg/h for four hours; and a combined treatment of both types of infusion. Compared with furosemide, however, torsemideis associated with a lower risk of rehospitalization for heart failure and an improvement in New York Heart Association class of heart failure but no difference in the risk of death.

• The metolazone-furosemide combination of diuretics was compared with the thiazide-furosemide combination in nephrotic patients with edema. It is also used to treat congestive heart failure (pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, and/or ascites) in cats and dogs.Furosemide should be used with caution when combined with corticosteroids (as this increases the risk of electrolyte imbalance), aminoglycoside antibiotics (increases risk of kidney or ear damage), and trimethoprim sulfa (causes decreased platelet count). Background: Massive systemic edema is often observed in patients with severe nephrotic syndrome, including diabetic nephropathy.

Somewhat different considerations apply to patients with cirrhotic ascites.
