Natriuresis is effectively induced by both furosemide and the adenosine A1 antagonist BG9719 in patients with CHF. Doses of the two drugs used in this study did not cause equivalent sodium and water excretion but only furosemide decreased GFR. These data suggest that adenosine is an important determinant of renal function in patients with heart failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
