Key result
Torasemide administration induced a significant decrease in blood pressure and reversion of peripheral edema in all 9 patients with chronic renal failure without adverse effects.
Why the study?
Does torasemide reduce blood pressure and peripheral edema in hospitalized patients with chronic renal failure?
Does torasemide reduce blood pressure and peripheral edema in hospitalized patients with chronic renal failure?
Torasemide is an effective loop diuretic for correcting extracellular fluid volume expansion and hypertension in patients with chronic renal failure.
May support torasemide for volume overload in chronic renal failure; hypothesis-generating case report requiring randomized confirmation.
Torasemide, a new loop diuretic, was administered in 9 hospitalized patients with chronic renal failure to treat both arterial hypertension and peripheral edema. The urine of 5 patients was collected over 12-hour periods to assess the long-lasting diuretic activity of torasemide. Torasemide induced a significant decrease in blood pressure and reversion of peripheral edema in all patients without adverse effects. Torasemide is a high-ceiling loop diuretic, useful in correcting extracellular fluid volume expansion in patients with chronic renal failure.

Russo et al. (2008) studied Chronic renal failure (n=9). Torasemide was evaluated on Blood pressure and peripheral edema. Torasemide administration induced a significant decrease in blood pressure and reversion of peripheral edema in all 9 patients with chronic renal failure without adverse effects.
