Clinical presentation of Bartter syndrome is similar to surrepitious vomiting or use of diuretics. Therefore, precise differential diagnosis of Bartter syndrome is crucial. We report a case of medullary nephrocalcinosis (MNC) induced by furosemide mimicking Bartter syndrome. A 55-year-old female patient visited our hospital with renal dysfunction on basis of hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. She had no history of hypertension or drug use except allopurinol and atorvastatin. She did not complain of nausea or vomiting on presentation and the serum magnesium level was normal. We performed ultrasonography, that showed MNC. For these reasons, we suspected Bartter syndrome and corrected the electrolyte imbalance. During outpatient follow up, we found that the patient had been taking 400 mg of furosemide daily for 30 years. We could diagnose furosemide induced MNC, and recommended to her to reduce the amount of furosemide.

경뇨도 전립선 절제술을 시행한 환자 30명을 대상으로 하여 furosemide부여에 따른 혈중 나트륨치와 삼투질 농도를 비교 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 혈중 나트륨치는 대조군에서 술전에 비해 10분, 20분, 30분, 수술직후에 의의있는 감소(p<0.05)가 있었으나 실험군에서는 변화가 없었다. 2. 혈장 삼투질농도와 유효 삼투질농도는 대조군에서 술전치와 비교시 술중 30분과 수술직후에 의의있는 감소(p<0.05)가 있었으나 실험군에서는 잘 유지가 되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 술중 흡수된 관류액의 영향을 줄일 목적으로 furosemide를 투여한 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 혈중나트륨치와 삼투질농도를 잘 유지시키기에 그 예방적 투여가 의의있다고 사료되며 특히 울혈성 심부전이나 신부전이 있는 환자의 수술시 furosemide를 투여하면 그 의의가 더 클 것으로 사료된다.

Changes of urinary aldosterone excretion, concurrent sodium and potassium excretion following furosemide administration were studied in normotensive young Korean with high sodium intake, moderate sodium restriction and marked sodium depletion. After intravenous injection of furosemd 40mg, plasma and urine samples were collected at every thirty minutes for two hours. Plasma-and urinary aldosterone, electrolyte concentration and urine flow rate were measured by means of radioimmunoassay or flamephotometry. Relations of urinary aldosterone to concurrent sodium or potassium/sodium ratio, and of urinary aldosterone to concurrent plasma aldosterone activity were studied. Following were the results: 1. Furosemide administration resulted in a increased urinary aldosterone concentration and unchanged or somewhat decreased sodium concentration in course of time after the injection. 2. Urinary potassium concentration showed initial decrease and subsequent increase in course of time after furosemide administration and it resulted in a gradual increase in urinary potassium/sodium ratio. 3. Studying the relations between urinary aldosterone excretion and potassium/sodium excretion ratio, or sodium excretion were meaningless because of the urinary flow rate after the injection was decreased with time course. 4. Furosemide administration showed a good relationship of urinary aldosterone concentration to concurrent potassium/sodium ratio rather than concurrent sodium concentration in subjects with sodium restriction, but no meaningful relationship was detected in subjects with high sodium intake because increasing rate of the ratio was not so wide. 5. Furosemide also resulted a reasonable relation of plasma aldosterone concentration to concurrent urinary aldosterone concentration especially during low sodium intake. 6. Above results suggested that relation of urinary aldosterone concentration to K/Na ratio following furosemide administration during sodium restriction is significant and has a benefit to reduce the variation induced by kalemic change showing in the diragram for daily aldosterone to sodium excretion.

This study was attempted to investigate the dissolution rate and bioavailability of commercially available furosemide preparations. A. B. and C. The dissolution test was conducted in an artificial gastric juice using the basket method. and furosemide (40 mg) was administered orally to 8 normal volunteers by cross-over design. The results were as follows: the AUC and dissolution rate in 100 min ($D_{100\;min}$) were higher in order of preparations. A > C > B. But the peak concentration. time to reach peak concentration $(T_{max})$, and mean dissolution time (MDT) were in order of preparations. C > A > B. There were significantly linear correlations between the AUC and the $D_{100\;min}$, and between the $T_{max}$ and the MDT. From the results of this experiment. it can be concluded that commercially available preparations bioavailability of furosemide, which may be predicted from the dissolution rate.

The Pharmacokinetics of furosemide (5 mg/kg iv) was investigated in rabbits with folate (75 mg/kg, 150 mg/kg 300 mg/ug, iv) induced renal failure. The plasma concentration was increased and urinary excretion was decreased significantly compared with those of normal rabbits. ${\alpha},\;{\beta}\;and\;K_{12},\;K_{21},\;K_{10}$ were decreased, $t_{1/2}$ and AUC were increased significantly. Correlation of serum creatinine concentration and AUC, renal clearance have linear relationship respectively. In short, dosage regimen of furosemide is considered to be adjusted in the dose size and the dosing interval by degree of serum creatinine concentration.

The effects of organic acidic drugs on the absorption, excretion and diuretic action of furosemide were studied. Cefalexin, p-aminohippuric acid (PAH), ibuprofen and p-amino salicylic acid (PAS) were selected as organic acidic drugs. The in situ absorption rate and absorption rate constant of furosemide (30$\mu{M}$) were significantly (p<0.05) decreased by 30$\mu{M}$ of cefalexin, PAH, ibuprofen and PAS in rat small intestine. The plasma concentration of furosemide was significantly (p<0.01) increased by cefalexin, PAH and ibuprofen in rabbits. But the urinary excretion rate, renal clearance and diuretic action of furosemide were significantly (p<0.05) decreased by cefalexin, PAH, ibuprofen and PAS in rabbits.

It has been suggested that plasma renin activity (PRA) and its response to volume depletion may be abnormal in that it shows little or exaggerated change in patients with chronic renal failure and hypertension. Intravenous furosemide stimulation test was performed in 46 control subjects and 51 patients with chronic renal failure and/or malignant hypertension in order to evaluate PRA response. In contrast to the consistent increase in PRA in control subjects (from $2.5{\pm}1.95\;to\;4.5{\pm}2.51ng/ml/hr$), no consistent increase was observed in patients with chronic renal failure, especially in those who showed favorable response to antihypertensive therapy (from $2.5{\pm}2.21\;to\;2.9{\pm}2.46ng/ml/hr$). But poor responder to antihypertensive treatment showed considerably higher PRA before and after furosemide stimulation (from $4.9{\pm}1.96\;to\;6.4{\pm}1.71ng/ml/hr$) than the responder group did. Moreover, this group seemed to retain the ability to increase PRA in response to intravenous furosemide stimulation. Thus it became apparent that responder group was unable to increase PRA normally in response to furosemide as well as volume depletion, while poor responder seemed to retain that ability. Thus intravenous furosemode may serve as a convenient way to differenfiate those who might be benefited by conservative antihypertensive measures from those who would require more drastic measures such as bilateral nephrectomy for their optimal blood pressure control.

Effects of synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide and furosemide on the cardiovascular and renal functions were examined in the freshwater turtle, Amyda japonica. Both atria and ventricle of turtle contained an immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide. Synthetic rat atrial natriuretic peptide (atriopeptin III) and turtle atrial extract caused a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure and the vasodepressor effect was dose-dependent. In hydrated turtles received either atriopeptin III or turtle atrial extract, no significant change in renal function was observed until 100 min except a slight natriuresis at 60 or 100 min after injection of 30 ug/kg atriopeptin III or atrial extract, respectively. However, furosemide, 2 mg/kg, caused marked diuresis, natriuresis and kaliuresis. In non-hydrated turtles, no significant change in renal function was observed until 6 hrs following injection of 30 ug/kg atriopeptin III. Plasma aldosterone decreased at 2 hr and increased at 24 hr after injection of atriopeptin III although plasma renin concentration did not change. But, furosemide caused persistent diuresis, natriuresis and kaliuresis. Additionally, plasma aldosterone and renin concentrations were significantly increased at 24 hrs after injection of furosemide. In conclusion, we suggest that the freshwater turtle may have an atrial natriuretic peptide in heart and vascular receptors for atrial natriuretic peptide, and that atrial natriuretic peptide is more important in the regulation of blood pressure rather than that of renal function in freshwater turtles. We also suggest that an increased plasma renin concentration caused by furosemide may not be due to the sodium concentration delivered to macula densa, but due to the dehydration caused by persistent diuresis and natriuresis.

연구배경 : 운동유발성 천식은 운동후 기관지 수축을 일으키는 질환으로 기도내 열과 수분의 손실로 비만세표의 기관지 수축물질이 유리되어 발생되는 것으로 알려져 있으나 논란이 많은 실정이며 그 치료 또한 $\beta_2$-수용체 자극제 및 cromolyn을 흡입하는 것이 가장 좋다고 인정되어 왔으나 최근 운동 유발성천식의 발생기전에 기초한 여러 가지 약물의 효과가 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 furosemide, budesonide, 헤파린 및 cromolyn의 운동유발성 천식의 예방효과를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 운동유발성 천식으로 진단받은 8명(남자 5명)을 대상으로 하였고, 대상환자들의 운동전 폐기능 검사소견은 $FEV_1$ 3.39L (93.5%), FVC 4.06L (95.1%), $FEV_1$/FVC 89.6%였고, 온도와 습도가 동일한 조건에서 운동시험을 실시하였다. 헤파린과 furosemide는 연무기를 이용하여 각각 Kg당 1,000 units와 1mg을 흡입하였고, cromolyn과 budesonide는 inhaler를 이용하여 각각 $1,000{\mu}g$과 $200{\mu}g$을 5일간 흡입하였으며, 약제 흡입후 운동시험와 methacholine 기관지 유발검사를 실시하였다. 결 과 : 운동후 120분 까지의 $FEV_1$의 최대 감소치는 cromolyn $86.8{\pm}6.53%$, budesonide $79.4{\pm}7.31%$. 헤파린 $83.1{\pm}4.81%$, furosemide $80.5{\pm}6.87%$로 대조군 $72.5{\pm}18.2%$에 비하여 헤파린은 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고(p=0.010), cromolyn, furosemide와 budesonide는 통계적 유의성은 없었으나(p>0.05) 모두 대조군에 비하여 증가된 결과를 보였다. 4가지 약제의 $FEV_1$의 최대 감소치에 대한 다중 비교에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며(p>0.05) 수치적으로는 헤파린이 가장 증가된 결과를 보였다. 헤파린 흡입 3일째에 측정한 aPTT는 흡입전과 차이가 없었다.(p>0.05) 약제 흡입후 methacholine 기관지 유발검사의 $PD_{20}$은 cromolyn $2.19{\pm}0.89$, budesonide $3.38{\pm}1.77$, heparin $4.17{\pm}96$, furosemide $1.85{\pm}0.86$으로 대조군 $1.58{\pm}0.49$에 비하여 각각 유의한 차이가 없었다.(p>0.05) 결 론 : 이상의 결과로 운동유발성 천식환자에서 운동전 헤파린 흡입으로 운동후 기관지수축을 예방할 수 있으며 cromolyn은 용량 및 투여기간에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 furosemide와 budesonide의 흡입은 통계적 유의성은 없었으나 어느정도의 효과를 나타낼수 있는 것으로 보여 향후 더 많은 환자를 대상으로 한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
