How are diuretics grouped?
Diuretics are grouped into three main categories: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics. Each category works by different mechanisms to increase urine output and reduce fluid retention in the body. Thiazide diuretics are commonly used for treating high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are often used for reducing excess fluid in conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Potassium-sparing diuretics help maintain potassium levels while promoting diuresis.
Is sodium pivotal to fluid and electrolyte balance and to the homeostasis of all body systems?
yes true
What class of drug is used to regulate the level of fluid in the body?
