Effects in normal subjects of long-term administration of azosemide.
Azosemide is a new loop diuretic which has been shown to affect solute transport proximal to the diluting segment. We assessed the effects of chronic administration of azosemide in normal subjects on low and normal salt diets. In both, there was compensatory renin release and aldosterone secretion, but the subjects on the low sodium diet developed striking hyperuricemia and metabolic alkalosis and were symptomatic, whereas those on the normal diet compensated to the extent that there were only minor changes.
