Summary
Intravenous loop diuretics is the therapy most commonly used to treat pulmonary congestion
and systemic fluid overload. In theory, continuous infusion should allow for a more
consistent diuresis, avoiding the sodium reabsorption in the distal tubule as well as the
neurohormonal activation. This should lead to renal function improvement and BNP decrease.
