For toxicity of loop diuretics, mnemonic is as follows:
keep the word Hypo
so now count down all hypos:
- hyponatremia
- hypokalemia'
- hypocalcemia
- hypomagnesemia
- hypovolemia
and from word (hypo) letters:
H..................
y (if you write it in small case letter on paper, its upper part resembles u) = uric acid (and removing the o from hypo makes hyp = hyperuricemia)
p (rhymes with b) = B1 deficiency (which actually worsens in heart failure)
and O = ototoxicity
this is makes easier for me to remember the toxicities of loop diuretics easier than cramming them all or making a sentence or word unrelated to loop diuretics, so word hypo is quite relevant for loop diuretics so it can be a good anchor in your mind
I hope it works for you all
InShaAllah
Thank you 💓
