diuretic. adj. 1. (Pathology) acting to increase the flow of urine. n. 2. (Pharmacology) a drug or agent that increases the flow of urine.
Diuretics help the kidneys eliminate sodium and water from the body. This lowers the amount of blood in the body and brings down blood pressure. There are three types of diuretics: thiazide, loop, and potassium-sparing. Thiazide diuretics may lower potassium levels and may increase cholesterol and blood sugar.
