title: [Diuretics in pregnancy can do harm].
abstract: We describe a case with severe pre-eclampsia with poor obstetric outcome. This patient developed oliguria and received multiple doses of furosemide which probably contributed to the poor outcome. This case presentation reminds of the risks associated with pre-eclampsia in which both blood volume and utero-placental blood flow are already decreased. This condition was further worsened by diuretics.
