Popis: Diuretics have been long used to treat arterial hypertension; however, the use of loop diuretics has been limited by cases of chronic kidney and heart failure. The loop diuretic torasemide is now administered in subdiuretic doses (2,5–5 mg) to treat arterial hypertension; it is well tolerated, metabolically neutral, and, due to its antialdosterone effect, fails to cause hypokalemia.
