Having a little query that what is the effect of diuretics (both thiazides and loops)
on GFR ?
Athough katzung 12th edi. says loops _ no effect on gfr, but it is silent on thiazides ?
no thiazides are given when GFR <30ml/min except metolazone while loop diuretics are given in
heart failure with compromised renal functions(failure). why??
