The difference in urine output after using furosemide in gender

Abstract

This current research aims to explore the difference between adult males and females in urine output after Lasix consumption. Furosemide is a diuretic that is used to treat edema (excess fluid in the body) caused by heart failure, liver disease, and renal illness. The sodium-potassium-s chloride (Na+/K+/2Cl-) cotransport of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle can be inhibited by this loop diuretic (NKCC2), which may affect the urine output which is normal ranging between 800-2500 mL per a day. There is only one study about whether there is a difference between urine output rates for both genders. In this study, 12 volunteers were given 40 mg of furosemide intravenously and their urine output was constantly monitored for 6 hours, and the results were recorded. By results, display that there is no significant difference consequent to P-value which was 0.142, and fail to reject the null hypothesis, accomplished by using the T-test, which was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).
