  • Title: Furosemide induced release of prostaglandin E to increase renal blood flow.
    Author: Williamson HE, Bourland WA, Marchand GR, Farley DB, Van Orden DE.
    Journal: Proc Soc Exp Biol Med; 1975 Oct; 150(1):104-6. PubMed ID: 1187679.
    Abstract:
    Levels of PGE in renal venous blood were found to be significantly elevated at the time RBF was increased by furosemide. Following indomethacin, a second dose of furosemide failed to increase RBF and levels of PGE in renal venous blood were not elevated. Levels of PGF and PGA were not affected by furosemide. The increase of PGE in renal venous blood at the time of renal dilation supports the hypothesis that furosemide increases RBF by releasing PGE. An intrarenal action of the released PGE is implied by this mechanism.
