Lasix is NOT nephrotoxic π«
Please retweet so we can end this myth once and for all π¦
Rising creatinine is more often an indicator of inadequate Lasix dosing than excessive!!
Lasix can only harm the kidneys if it decreases cardiac output by dropping preload to the point of reducing stroke volume... as someone who scans these patients regularly this is surprisingly rare!
If a patient still has venous congestion (on Doppler), then Lasix is not driving the AKI. Instead, their AKI is from untreated congestion!!
