Abstract :

Torsemide, a pyridine sulfonylurea class of loop diuretic indicated for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, renal failure or chronic liver disease. Rare side effects such as hypocalcaemia, hypomagnesaemia, and hyperglycemia have been noted with the usage of torsemide.
Here we report a case of 66-year-old man with mild symptoms having high uric acid levels following prolonged self-administration of torsemide.
Keywords: Torsemide, loop diuretic, edema, uric acid, renal failure
