Overview:

Bumetanide
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Bumetanide, a sulfonamide-type loop diuretic structurally related to furosemide, is used to manage hypertension and edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome. Bumetanide inhibits sodium reabsorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. For the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, hepatic and renal disease including the nephrotic syndrome

Mechanism Of Action:
Bumetanide interferes with renal cAMP and/or inhibits the sodium-potassium possibly sodium in the ascending loop of Henle, altering electrolyte transfer in the proximal tubule. This results in excretion of sodium, chloride, and water and, hence, leads to diuresis.
