An interesting pilot study: a regular dose of loop diuretic enhances hemodialysis clearance of protein-bound uremic toxins in anuric patients. academic.oup.com/ckj/advance-...

In CKD, furosemide use—especially >100 mg/day—is linked to higher serum levels of protein-bound uraemic toxins like IS, PCS, Kyn, and IAA. Furosemide may impair toxin clearance via OAT1/3 transporters, contributing to toxin accumulation. #podoctyetalk #CKD #Nephsky www.kireports.org/article/S246...
