What is a common result of using loop diuretics long term?

  1. Increased bone density

  2. Decreased sugar levels

  3. Loss of bone density

  4. Increased blood pressure

The correct answer is: Loss of bone density

Long-term use of loop diuretics can lead to decreased bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This is due to the urinary loss of calcium and other minerals which are important for bone health. Options A and D are incorrect as they do not align with the given question. Option B is incorrect as loop diuretics can actually cause an increase in blood sugar levels. Therefore, C is the most accurate answer.
