Drug overview for ARIDOL (mannitol):
Generic name: MANNITOL
Drug class:
Therapeutic class: Diagnostic Agents
Mannitol is a diagnostic agent used to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Mannitol has been used to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is an index of renal function. Because mannitol undergoes some tubular reabsorption, the usefulness of the drug in measuring GFR is limited and inulin has generally replaced mannitol for determination of GFR. For use of mannitol as an osmotic diuretic and as an irrigating solution in transurethral resection of the prostate, see Mannitol (Diuretic) 40:28.12.
