GLB.IRB.06.12.01 Thiazide/thiazide-like diuretics : They promote diuresis by inhibiting sodium and chloride ion reabsorption at the beginning of the distal convoluted tubule . This results in an increase in excretion of sodium and chloride ions, which in turn promotes water loss. A reduction in blood volume reduces cardiac preload, cardiac output and consequently blood pressure. 2. Loop diuretics : They act on the ascending limb of Henle’s loop , increasing the excretion of sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride ions. As a result, reabsorption of water from the collecting system is virtually abolished and large volumes of water are excreted. 3. Potassium-sparing diuretics : They inhibit the exchange of sodium for potassium ions in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron. They bring about this effect in one of two ways: * triamterene/amiloride: decreases the permeability of the distal luminal membrane to sodium ions spironolactone (aldosterone antagonist): inhibits the effects of aldosterone on the kidneys. This leads to an increased excretion of sodium ions and water, but a decreased loss of potassium ions. References: Adapted from Oparil S and Weber MA.
