Potassium sparing diuretics help lower blood pressure. Potassium sparing is a phrase that typically describes a special class of diuretics, Drugs.com explains. Diuretics are medications that help your body eliminate excess water. Usually, diuretics cause your body to excrete large amounts of potassium. This can lead to deficient levels of potassium in the body.
The use of potassium-sparing diuretics is contraindicated in patients with anuria, acute or progressive renal insufficiency, or diabetic nephropathy. Potassium-sparing diuretics can cause hyperkalemia, which may result in life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Careful monitoring of serum potassium levels is necessary in all patients treated with potassium-sparing diuretics, especially during initiation of therapy, after dosage adjustment, and during illness that could alter renal function.
