==Overview==
Diuretics reduce circulating volume, improve symptoms and are a mainstay of therapy for congestive heart failure.  While these agents improve symptoms, they have not been associated with a reduction in mortality and are associated with electrolyte imbalances.
 
==Diuretics==
===[[Diuretics]]===

==Overview==
|}
Diuretics reduce circulating volume, improve symptoms and are a mainstay of therapy for congestive heart failure.  While thes agents improve symptoms, they have not been associated with a reduction in mortality and are associated with electrolyte imbalances.


==Mechanism of Benefit==
*Reduce intravascular volume
*Lasix reduces preload and relaxes pulmonary venules and thereby reduce the symptoms of [[pulmonary edema]]
*Reduce wall stress
*Improve left ventricular remodeling
*Improve symptoms but not improve survival. In fact higher doses of lasix are associated with higher mortality, likely as a results of higher doses being a marker of more severe disease.


==Complications==
=====Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRAs)=====
*[[Azotemia]]
*[[Hypokalemia]]
*Contraction or [[metabolic alkalosis]]
*Elevate neurohormones
*[[Thiazide]] diuretics are associated with [[hyponatremia]]


==Thiazide Diuretics==
{|class="wikitable" style="width:80%"
* Inhibit the Na+/Cl- co transporter in the distal convoluted tube.
|-
* Although [[thiazide]] [[diuretics]] are effective in mild [[heart failure]] they are usually inadequate for the treatment of severe [[heart failure]].
| colspan="1" style="text-align:center; background:LightGreen"| [[ACC AHA guidelines classification scheme#Classification of Recommendations|Class I]]
* [[Thiazide]] [[diuretics]] have also been associative with [[hyponatremia]].


==Loop Diuretics==
|-
* Agents in this class include [[Furosemide]] or [[lasix]], [[bumetanide]], [[ethacrynic acid]] and [[torsemide]].

* Inhibit the Na+/K+/Cl- transporter.
* Fluid retention usually responds best to [[furosemide]] (Lasix)
* If there is no response to the initial  dose then it can be increased by at least 50%.
* The maintenance dose of the [[diuretics]] lower than that required to initiate diuresis, and for lasix is usually 10 to 20 mg per day.
* The patient should be told to return to their physician in the next three to seven days after initiation for further assessment including assessment of their [[potassium]] concentration.
* Weight loss should not exceed 1 to 2 pounds/day.
* If the patient gains more than two pounds and they are instructed to double the dose of their loop diuretic.
* Once the baseline weight has been re-established than they can resume their previous status.
* Higher lasix doses are associated with higher mortality, likely as a surrogate of disease severity rather than part of a causal pathway.
* Intermittent use of [[metolazone]] into dose of 2.5 or 5 mg can be given if the patient is refractory to [[furosemide]] Lasix. [[Metolazone]] should be given in the inpatient setting.


==Potassium Sparing Diuretics==
|}
* The role of [[potassium]] sparing diuretics such as [[spironolactone]] (Aldactone), [[amiloride]], or [[triamterene]] remains the subject of controversy.
*[[Spironolactone]] is currently recommended only as third line therapy for congestive heart failure.
* These agents inhibit Na reabsorbtion and [[Potassium]] secretion in the distal convoluted tubule and cortical collecting duct.
* Their significant side effect is [[hyperkalemia]].
*Extreme caution is necessary when adding a [[potassium]] sparing agent to the regiment that includes [[ACE inhibitor]]s particularly when diabetes or renal disease is present because the patient can become [[hyperkalemic]].

Overview

Diuretics reduce circulating volume, improve symptoms and are a mainstay of therapy for congestive heart failure. While these agents improve symptoms, they have not been associated with a reduction in mortality and are associated with electrolyte imbalances.

Diuretics

Diuretics


MRA or Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists

2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline (DO NOT EDIT) [5]

Diuretics and Decongestion Strategies in Patients with HF (DO NOT EDIT)[5][6][7]

Class I
"1. In patients with HF who have fluid retention, diuretics are recommended to relieve congestion, improve symptoms, and prevent worsening HF. [8][9][10][11][12] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) "
"2. For patients with HF and congestive symptoms, addition of a thiazide (eg, metolazone) to treatment with a loop diuretic should be reserved for patients who do not respond to moderate or high-dose loop diuretics to minimize electrolyte abnormalities. [13] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) "


Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRAs)
Class I
"1. In patients with HFrEF and NYHA class II to IV symptoms, an MRA (spironolactone or epleronone) is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality, if eGFR is >30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and serum potassium is <5.0 mEq/L. Careful monitoring of potassium, renal function, and diuretic dosing should be performed at initiation and closely monitored thereafter to minimize risk of hyperkalemia and renal insufficiency. [4][14][15] (Level of Evidence: A) "
Value Statement: High Value
"2. In patients with HFrEF and NYHA II to IV symptoms, MRA therapy provides high economic value.[16][17][18][19] (Level of Evidence: A) "
Class III (Harm)
"3. In patients taking MRA whose serum potassium cannot be maintained at <5.5 mEq/L, MRA should be discontinued to avoid life-threatening hyperkalemia. [20][21] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) "
