Definition of diuretic. : tending to increase the excretion of urine diuretic drugs.
What are diuretics and how do they work? The amount of fluid (water) retained by the body is controlled primarily by the kidneys. This occurs due to the kidney's ability to control the retention and elimination of sodium and chloride, because the amounts of sodium, chloride, and water in the body are carefully balanced.
