Diuretics are sub-classed as thiazide, potassium-sparing osmotic loop and . They are used in cases of hypertension, peripheral edema (see image), and heart failure or pulmonary edema. Diuretics are the drugs used to increase the urine output. Diuretic act by altering the tubular filtration (but not glomerular filtration). The four classes of diretics inchude, thiazide, loop, osmotic, and potassium-sparing diuretics.
