Diuresis
• Diuresis ↑ loss of body water to urine >1mL/min
1. Water diuresis: ↓ osmolarity of plasma &/or ↑
blood volume → ↓ ADH → ↑ urine output
2. Osmotic diuresis: osmotically active substance
(glucose, mannitol) → ↑ urine output
3. Diuretics = drugs that increase loss of body
water primarily by inhibiting Na+ reabsorption
by renal tubule. Diuretics act at different
segments of the renal tubule → ↑ urine output
