How is a loop diruetic used to treat heart failure?
Fluid retention is common in heart failure cases. A loop diuretic such as frusemide can cause massive diruesis which leads to a smaller blood volume.

How does lasix affect urine production?
Lasix, also known as furosemide, is a loop diuretic that increases urine production by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the loop of Henle in the kidneys. This action leads to increased excretion of water, sodium, and chloride, resulting in a higher volume of urine. It is commonly used to treat conditions like heart failure and edema by helping to reduce fluid overload in the body. Consequently, patients may experience more frequent urination as a result of its diuretic effects.
