Each patient received a protocol-derived, standardized furosemide dose based on body weight. We measured diuretic response and urine furosemide concentrations. The furosemide na\u00efve group had significantly higher urine volumes and natriuresis when compared to chronic users at all timepoints (all p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Urine furosemide delivery was similar in furosemide na\u00efve versus chronic users after accounting for differences in estimated glomerular filtration rate (28.02 [21.03\u201335.89] vs. 29.70 [18.19\u201334.71] mg, p\u2009=\u20090.87). However, the tubular response to delivered diuretic was dramatically higher in na\u00efve versus chronic users, that is the urine volume per 1\u2009\u03bcg\/ml of urine furosemide at 2\u2009h was 148.6\u2009\u00b1\u2009136.1 versus 50.6\u2009\u00b1\u200956.1\u2009ml (p\u2009=\u20090.005).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients na\u00efve to furosemide have significantly better diuresis and natriuresis when compared to chronic furosemide users.
