Diuretics

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2009
Diuretics enhance the rate of excretion of sodium ions (Na+) and water. They are usually taken in the morning so that diuresis does not intrude upon sleep. Diuretics are divided into groups based on their mechanism and site of action: loop, thiazide, potassium-sparing, osmotic, mercurial and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (Figure 1).

Pharmacology of Diuretics

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2000
The diuretics in our therapeutic armamentarium have predictable effects based on their nephron sites of action. All but spironolactone must reach the lumen or urinary side of the nephron to exert their effects. Thus, in settings of decreased renal function, doses must be increased to deliver more diuretic into the urine.

Use of diuretics

1994
Strictly, diuresis is increased urine flow and diuretics are substances which elicit diuresis. By this definition, water is a diuretic. In medicine, however, ‘diuretic’ has come to have a more specific meaning. In the kidney, water reabsorption is dependent primarily on Na+ reabsorption and the term diuretic is generally used to mean an agent which ...
