“Plasma potassium concentration was significantly decreased after furosemide injection, which may be caused by the drug-related massive potassium excretion in the urine.”

“6 While the response to frusemide was altered by short‐term changes in dietary sodium and potassium , the difference was less than expected from observations in two populations with customary diets differing in similar manner.”

“Renese, Hypothiaside, Lasix and Uregyt enhance kaliuresis and often reduce potassium blood plasma concentrations, while Nuvorit and Brinaldix increase kaliuresis least of all, and often increase the potassium blood plasma level.”

“Because empiric potassium is associated with a marked survival benefit in users of furosemide at a dose of ≥40 mg/day, we hypothesised that this empiric potassium’s survival benefit would increase with higher temperature (≥24°C).”
“Conclusions The results suggest that empiric potassium ’s survival benefit among furosemide (≥40 mg/day) initiators may increase as daily maximum temperature increases.”
“If this relationship is real, use of empiric potassium in Medicaid enrollees initiating furosemide might be particularly important on hot days.”

“Stratifying on initial furosemide dose, hazard ratios for empiric potassium supplementation with furosemide <40 and ≥40 milligrams/day were 0.93 (0.86–1.00, p = 0.050) and 0.84 (0.79–0.89, p<0.0001).”
“ Furosemide induced an almost twelvefold increase in the urinary excretion of sodium and chloride, an approximately threefold increase in urinary excretion of potassium and a significant increase in urinary phosphate excretion.”
