Furosemide-induced lysosomal enzyme release in mouse kidney in vivo and in vitro.

The loop diuretic, furosemide, which has been known to elicit renin release in vivo as well as in vitro, has also been shown to induce lysosomal enzyme release. After administration of furosemide (10 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg), a significantly increased acid phosphatase activity (1.33 x 10(-4) and 1.
