Furosemide (choice A) inhibits the active reabsorption of sodium, potassium, and chloride in the thick ascending limb. This will deplete the medullary gradient, which could result in a slightly hypotonic urine, but furosemide will significantly increase the fractional clearance of sodium, and hence the osmolar clearance. HOW DOES MEDULLARY DRADIANT DEPLETION CAUSE HYPOTONIC URINE PLZ?

hey boss. you your self have agreed that furosemide inh medullary na absorbtion and so depletion of gradient. that means the normal conc of urine that is to take place in loop is being obstucted.ony the acsending loop is impermiable and all other side permiable to water. so the retained na will cause osmotic sucking in of water. so.....
