Loop Diuretics: Pharmacology Made Easy & Clinically Relevant

In this This Is Why with Dr. Busti pharmacology, Dr. Busti makes this pharmacology 101 review of loop diuretics easy by breaking down the science and clinical application of diuretic pharmacology —a cornerstone drug class for fluid overload, heart failure management, and edema treatment. Drawing on Dr. Busti's 30 years of experience as a nurse, pharmacist, physician, and educator, he explains renal pharmacology and the mechanism of action at the loop of Henle, their pharmacokinetic differences, and why understanding their mechanisms helps prevent common pitfalls such as side effects of diuretics (e.g., electrolyte disturbances), diuretic resistance, and hemodynamic instability. This session translates complex renal physiology into clear, clinically relevant knowledge—connecting the why behind loop diuretics’ powerful therapeutic effects and potential risks in both inpatient and outpatient care. The goals = pharmacology made relevant & pharmacology made easy. 👉 Access bonus materials and downloads from this episode at: https://www.thisiswhy.health/topics/p...
