Figure 1 Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) responses after single (A) and multiple (B) doses of torsemide and furosemide therapy for each subject. Closed triangles represent treatment with torsemide; open triangles represent treatment with furosemide. Box plots represent the median, 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of each data set. Ln is natural log. Kidney International 2003 64, 1772-1779DOI: (10.1046/j.1523-1755.2003.00273.x) Copyright © 2003 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Time course of biophysical and hormonal measurements of volume status during multiple dose study.*P < 0.05 in comparison with baseline measurements by analysis of variance (ANOVA) for systolic blood pressure and Tukey honest significant test for other parameters. Multivariate ANOVA for all comparisons were significant.
