Introduction
 Potassium is taken into our body system through food (50-100mmol/day) and it
is distributed in the body fluids.
 The majority (98%) of potassium is placed in the cells, while only 2% is in
extracellular fluid  concentration of potassium in the cellular fluids of 140-
150 mmol/L, while in extracellular fluid the concentration is 3.5-5.0 mmol/L.
 This gradient concentration of potassium is formed and maintained by the Na/K
pumps.
 Insulin enhances operation of the Na/K pumps and in that way enhances
entering of potassium into the cell itself.
 In case that potassium in the body system, this condition leads to potassium
deficiency (hypocalemia) that reduce secretion of insulin in the body and as a
result of that blood glucose levels increases.
Introduction
 Level of potassium also affects the heart rate while potassium deficiency
(hypocalemia) can lead to fast heart rate.
 In the ECG potassium deficiency is manifested as SVT.
 Furosemide is a diuretic and is often used in the treatment of hypertension.
 This is also drug of choice when it comes to the stage of hypertensive
urgencies and emergencies.
 Due the fact this medicine causes a loss of potassium ions it can also affect
the reduction of insulin in the blood, and thus the increase in blood glucose
and arrhythmias.
The Aim of this paper is :

1. An effect of furosemide onto hypertension treatment and crisis.
2. To determine hypertensive crisis in patient suffering from hypertension and
diabetes.
3. To determine the frequency of arrhythmic heart disorders before and after
antihypertensive treatment of furosemide.
4. To identify the difference in blood glucose levels before and after
antihypertensive treatment of furosemide.
Methods
 Prospective Random Study

 February to July 2016 in Emergency Medical Services of Public Health Institution Center
Zivinice, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Methods
Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria
A disease that can cause disturbance of potassium

High Blood Pressure
and glucose levels (except for diabetes)
High Blood Glucose Surgical procedures on the heart and blood vessels
18-80 years of age Disease of pancreas
Non-smokers The existence of recent acute stress reactions
Use the medicine that can affect the level of blood

Not drinking alcohol
glucose and cardiac arrhytmias
Last meal consumed before 6 or more hours.

Methods
Group 1
• The first group of patient which were suffering from hypertension
Group 2
• The second group which includes hypertensive patients who suffered from co-morbidities diabetes
Group 3 ( Control )
• The third ( Control ) group of patients are patients which suffered from high blood pressure, but they have not
been diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes
Methods
 All data were analyzed using descriptive statistic

 Statistical analysis was performed using MedCalc for Windows ver 12.4.0 and for the most
part using SPSS Statistics ver 17.0

Incidence of Heart Arrhythmias. American Journal of Internal Medicine

Results
 The study included a total of 120 patients, of whom 59 (49.1%) were men 61 (50.9%) woman
Results
• After the treatment of furosemide, the lowest value of arterial blood pressure had
patients with ab elevated arterial blood pressure without diagnosed hypertension
with an average value of 118/80.
Results
• According to ANOVA analysis for all three observed group of patients, after
treatment of furosemide there is no statistical in the incidence of
arrhythmias between the groups where p = 0,202.
• When looking within each group between men and woman, there is not
statistical significance in the incidence of arrhythmias before and after
therapy, where p = 0.709.
Results
• After admission to Emergency Medical Service, the highest level of
blood glucose was noticed in the group of patients who are suffering
from hypertension and diabetes, with an average value of 11.9
mmol/L.
• While in the group patients who suffering from high arterial blood
pressure without diagnosed hypertension and diabetes, the average
blood glucose value was the lowest 6.7 mmol/L (p=0.009)
Results
 It is observed that after treatment of furosemide, there is no statistically significant

difference in blood glucose values between the two sexes.
 Observed between group there is no statistically significant difference in an increase of
blood glucose after treatment with furosemide (p <0.09).
 Looking at the summary for all three group of patients, the average value of increase of
blood glucose after treatment with furosemide is 0.7 mmol/L, which is not statistically
significant (p= 0.3)
Discussion
 Hypertension is the most severe cardiovascular disorder in European countries
with high income, where hypertension was observed in 20% to 50% of the adult
population.
 It was determined that half of the half of the respondents knew that they are
suffering from hypertension , but they are not use anti hypertensive therapy.
 More than half the adult population is overweigh (BMI from 25 to 29.9) or
obese (BMI > or = 30)
 The combination of high BMI with high arterial blood pressure is statistically
significant
Conclusion
 Furosemide is a very effective medicine for the rapid lowering of blood pressure.
 Furosemide is safe for the treatment of hypertension in diabetic patients
 It does not cause an increase in blood glucose levels.
