How Does Furosemide Work? Understanding Loop Diuretics HD

The video contains a simple and visual explanation of how furosemide and bumetanide, loop diuretics, work to encourage the kidneys to excrete more water and sodium. We cover some basics about how the nephron works and look in detail at the action of loop diuretics on the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter on the ascending loop of the loop of Henle. We also talk about the indications, some practical tips on using loop diuretics, adverse effects and contraindications. I love creating resources to help medical students with their studies.
