What is Diuretics: Types, Uses, and Food Sources about?

Diuretics work by inhibiting sodium and water reabsorption in the kidney tubules, increasing urine output. They are used to treat hypertension, edema from congestive heart failure, liver failure, and renal diseases. Common side effects include hypokalemia, hypotension, and dehydration. Thiazide diuretics increase sodium and water excretion in the distal tubule. Nurses monitor blood pressure, weight, urine output, and electrolyte levels when patients take diuretics.
