causes the kidneys to decrease water in the blood and increase urine output

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: -Diuretic drugs increase urine output by the kidney (i.e., promote diuresis). This is accomplished by altering how the kidney handles sodium. If the kidney excretes more sodium, then water excretion will also increase.
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.
