➤ Why might a clinician choose furosemide instead of a thiazide diuretic for blood pressure control?
Clinicians use furosemide when patients have significant volume overload, heart failure, pulmonary edema, or low glomerular filtration rate. Loop diuretics remain effective at low GFR and produce stronger natriuresis, so they better relieve volume-driven hypertension and edema compared with thiazides in those settings.
