Effective and safe diuretic torasemide has additional effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockage. Torasemide can be used as monotherapy or combined with other antihypertensives. In low doses torasemide produces pronounced antihypertensive effect without augmentation of excretion of potassium and water with urine. Long-term administration of torasemide was not associated with significant effects on lipid, purine, carbohydrate, or electrolyte metabolism parameters. Torasemide particularly effective in postmenopausal women, as these women are more likely formed low-renin hypertension. Therefore, torasemide can be used more widely in modern clinical practice.

Since the discovery of glucocorticoids (GCs), their important anti-inflammatory effect, rapid mechanism of action, low cost, and accessibility have made them one of the mainstays of treatment for Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although their use has allowed controlling the disease and reducing acute mortality in severe conditions, the implementation of a scheme based on high doses for long periods has inevitably been accompanied by an increase in adverse effects and infections, including long-term damage. The objective of this review is to answer some important questions that may arise from its use in daily clinical practice, and to propose a paradigm based on the use of methylprednisolone pulses followed by medium-low doses and a rapid decrease of prednisone.

Thirty five patients with severe evolutive arteriopathy were selected since following the advent of their first accident and although they received classical treatment they experienced at least one or sometimes several relapses of thrombosis. These patients were subjected to discontinuous subcutaneous ambulatory heparin treatment. This treatment consisted of two daily injections of 5,000–10,000 IU calcium-heparin (Calciparine) depending on each patient’s weight, during 30 days every three months. A backward survey of nine years for the patients first treated and of over two years for those most recently examined indicated that such patients never underwent recurrence of the disease and were considerably functionally improved. Experimentally in the animal and after subcutaneous injection of low doses of using 35s labeled heparin we have shown that heparin remains bound both on arterial and venous endothelium at least 15 hours after all anticoagulant activity has disappeared from circulating blood. As a rule and depending on individuals the relationship between the dose and the persistence of heparin bound on the wall is much more constant than that existing between the dose and the duration of the anticoagulant effect. Low doses (100-150 IU/kg in man) repeated twice a day will suffice to ensure the persistence of an endothelial coating. This coating could account for the excellent clinical results obtained.

The effect of 30 mg/day slow-release frusemide given orally for 12 months was studied in 64 patients previously treated with thiazides for mild to moderate essential hypertension. Frusemide had a significant antihypertensive effect ( P<0.001), and compared to thiazides significantly reduced fasting serum glucose ( P<0.015), haemoglobin A1c ( P<0.025), albumin ( P<0.025) and serum calcium ( P<0.025), and significantly increased serum sodium and chloride concentrations ( P<0.0001). There was also a non-significant trend for frusemide to reduce serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and urate, and to increase serum potassium. Frusemide was well tolerated in all but three patients. It is concluded that slow-release frusemide has a comparable antihypertensive effect to that of thiazide diuretics, but has fewer metabolic side-effects, and should be used in preference to thiazides for the treatment of arterial hypertension when a diuretic is indicated.
