Furosemide cause dehydration, volume depletion, hypokalemia and hyponatremia, which may be excessive and detrimental.

Furosemide inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the thick, ascending loop of henle, resulting in loss of sodium, chloride and water in to the urine. Furosemide induces beneficial hemodynamic effects prior to the onset of diuresis. Vasodilation increases renal blood flow, thereby increasing renal perfusion and lessening fluid retention. It appears that renal vasodilation depends on the synthesis of local prostaglandins.
