Diuretic acid efficacy

Diuretic acid is also known as etanic acid, which is a highly effective diuretic. Its diuretic effect is similar to furosemide. It also acts on the medullary part of ascending branch of medullary loop to inhibit the reabsorption of sodium and chlorine. Its action characteristics, curative effect speed and duration are consistent with furosemide. It is clinically used for congestive heart failure, acute pulmonary edema, renal edema, ascites due to liver cirrhosis, ascites due to liver cancer, schistosomiasis, cerebral edema and other edema. It is generally used for those who are ineffective in other diuretics. Diuretic acid can also inhibit the activity of prostaglandin decomposing enzyme, so that prostaglandin E content increased, prostaglandin E has the effect of dilating renal blood vessels, so that renal blood flow increased, improve glomerular filtration rate. In the case of acute renal failure, can protect renal function.
