Diuretics | Clinical Medicine

Ninja Nerds!
In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Diuretics, including the different classes such as loop diuretics, thiazides, potassium-sparing diuretics, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. We’ll explore their mechanisms of action, focusing on how each type affects electrolyte balance and fluid excretion in the kidneys. The session will transition to a digital presentation that highlights indications for diuretic use, common side effects, and specific considerations for managing conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and edema. Finally, we’ll discuss the monitoring and management strategies to optimize diuretic therapy in clinical practice. Enjoy the lecture and support us below!
