    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Furosemide is a ________ diuretic.

    Correct Answer
    loop
    Explanation
    Furosemide is classified as a loop diuretic. Loop diuretics work by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the loop of Henle in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production and removal of excess fluid from the body. This class of diuretics is particularly effective in treating conditions such as edema and hypertension. Furosemide specifically targets the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter in the loop of Henle, resulting in a potent diuretic effect.
