Investigators report findings from a study of genetic proxies of thiazide diuretics. An analysis of genetic proxies of thiazide diuretics may support continued clinical use of these drugs in reducing ...

BOSTON -- In people with hypertension, a history of kidney stones may inform the choice of diuretic for stone prevention, according to a secondary analysis of the Diuretic Comparison Project. Among ...

Diuretics during hospitalization may increase the risk of death. * THE QUESTION Do diuretic drugs affect the risk of death in critically ill patients with kidney failure? * PAST STUDIES have shown ...

Higher thiazide doses are associated with greater reductions in urine calcium, which in turn correlate with fewer symptomatic kidney stone events, according to a Vanderbilt University Medical Center ...

Kidney stones affect nearly 10% of the global population. For more than three decades, thiazide diuretics, a common medication used for high blood pressure, have been the standard of care for kidney ...

Some medications, including certain antibiotics and NSAIDs, can harm the kidneys if used for too long or in high doses. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are generally safe but can increase the risk of kidney ...

Although they may silently form inside the kidneys for years, kidney stones represent one of the most painful causes of ...

The kidneys play a vital role in determining health and lifespan. Their primary function is to eliminate waste products and surplus fluids from the body via urine. This intricate process of excretion ...

“This finding reflects a drug effect over the course of a lifetime, unconstrained by the limited follow-up period of clinical trials.” An analysis of genetic proxies of thiazide diuretics may support ...

Higher thiazide doses are associated with greater reductions in urine calcium, which in turn correlate with fewer symptomatic kidney stone events, according to a new study. Higher thiazide doses are ...
