Abstract
Diuretics are a class of medication used to treat a variety of conditions, including heart failure, high blood pressure, glaucoma, liver and kidney disease, and fluid accumulation in the body. Physicians have been using them for many years; they are available in several forms, including potassium-sparing diuretics, thiazides, loop diuretics, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, osmotic diuretics, and natural diuretics. On the other hand, frequent use of these diuretics may have some adverse effects. An electrolyte imbalance, blood pressure fluctuations, and treating disorders associated with fluid accumulation in the body are some examples of these side effects. In order to effectively manage a variety of medical disorders, healthcare practitioners must be aware of the proper use of diuretics and the significance of inducing diuresis, or the removal of excess fluid from the body. Healthcare practitioners can select the best courses of action and therapies for their patients by being knowledgeable about diuretics and how they function. Individuals can also make educated choices regarding the amount of fluids they consume, lifestyle modifications, and drugs to aid with diuresis and enhance their general health. This review article succinctly discusses the various applications for diuretics as well as any possible risks associated with encouraging diuresis.
