Homework Answers
No, potassium sparing diuretics should not be given to the kidney failure patients. Potassium sparing diuretics enhance urination while sparing potassium in the body. In case of kidney failure patients, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) becomes very low and thus there is a risk of hyperkalemia. A major portion of the potassium sparing diuretic excrete out through kidney. In case of renal failure improper excretion of potassium sparing diuretic may increaded the risk of hyperkalemia.
