Re lasix (furosemide) 4 ltrs out/2 ltrs in, patient is 300 pounds w/ edema in r leg and scrotum. hydroceles in testicles. is 4 ltrs still too much?

Yes: if u have no CHF i.e. no fluid in ur lungs, do not take lasix, (furosemide) it will make u dehydrated and pass out. Just cut down ur fluid intake.
