Torsemide acts within the lumen of the thick ascending portion of the loop of Henle, where it inhibits the Na+/K+/2CI carrier system. Torsemide increases the urinary excretion of sodium, chloride and water, but it does not significantly alter glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow or acid-base balance.
