Abstract
Loop diuretics are the most potent diuretics and saluretics known. The term “loop” diuretics was introduced only after their invention and introduction into therapy when it was recognized in 1973 that they act in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (Burg et al. 1973). Another term for these diuretics is “high-ceiling” diuretics, a term based on the finding that diuresis and saluresis increase dose dependently over a wide range of dosages, i.e., diuresis and saluresis continue to increase almost linearly when dosage is increased. This is valid until a diuresis of 20%-30% of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is achieved. Then, even for the “high-ceiling” diuretics, the dose-response curve levels off. The term was introduced to distinguish this group of diuretics from the thiazide group, which have a much lower “ceiling effect” of less than 10% of GFR (see Chap. 8, this volume). These, consequently, have been named “low-ceiling” diuretics.
