PURPOSE: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of furosemide and torsemide before and after diuresis in patients presenting with marked fluid overload.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We studied 44 patients with New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure, ejection fraction less than or equal to 40%, and an estimated excess fluid body weight greater than or equal to 6.8 kg. Oral furosemide or torsemide was administered before and after diuresis. Pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed before and after diuresis.RESULTS: Following diuresis, maximum plasma concentration increased from 11.0 +/- 5.0 mu g/mL to 13.9 +/- 6.8 with torsemide (P 30% in only 1 torsemide and 2 furosemide patients. The time to maximum concentration decreased from 1.40 +/- .82 h to 0.81 +/- 0.36 with torsemide (P
