Detailed explanation-1: -Diuretics, sometimes called water pills, help rid your body of salt (sodium) and water. Most of these medicines help your kidneys release more sodium into your urine. The sodium helps remove water from your blood, decreasing the amount of fluid flowing through your veins and arteries.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diuretics are mainly used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for the treatment of edema, to assist in reducing blood pressure and to aid in lowering serum levels of K+ in patients with hyperkalemia (a secondary feature of their action).
Detailed explanation-3: -Diuretics reduce sodium(Na+) reabsorption in specific renal tubules, resulting in an increase in urinary sodium and water excretion. The thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle reabsorbs about 25% of the Na+ of the glomerular filtrate.
