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).

Diuretics are the mainstay of therapies for many diseases, including hypertension congestive heart failure. While their use can be beneficial, many side effects and interactions are attributed to diuretic therapy. This chapter reviews the mechanism of action for the various diuretics and elucidates differences between classes.

Diuretics are a mainstay of modern medical therapy. Their effects on electrolyte excretion can largely be predicted from knowledge of their sites of action along the renal tubule. This article examines the role of diuretics in cardiac and noncardiac disease.

Excretion and diuretic action of mercurial diuretics
Experientia, 1957Huit diuretiques mercuriels ont ete etudies selon la technique deSperber utilisant la circulation porte renale de la poule. Six d'entre eux ont montres clairement leur elimination par secretion tubulaire. Une diurese acqueuse peut etre obtenue avec tous les diuretiques etudies, dans la plupart des cas elle est unilaterale du cote injecte.

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.

Diuretics are widely used and generally safe, but like any therapeutic agents, they may cause side effects.A review of recent literature pertaining to diuretic usage was performed, with emphasis on specific reports of side effects. Reports of large-scale hypertension trials employing diuretics were also examined for descriptions of diuretic-related ...
