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 are commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) because they lower blood pressure by helping your body eliminate sodium and water through your urine. However, some diuretics can also cause you to eliminate more potassium in your urine. This can lead to low potassium levels in your blood (hypokalemia). Not all diuretics cause this problem. The potassium-sparing diuretics don't lower potassium levels.
