    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Nephrology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Pregnancy involves complex water and salt balance.
    • Pre-eclampsia is characterized by reduced plasma volume.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review water and salt homeostasis in normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancy.
    • To evaluate the role of diuretics in pre-eclampsia management.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on fluid and electrolyte balance during pregnancy.
    • Analysis of studies concerning diuretic use in pre-eclampsia.

    Main Results:

    • Pre-eclampsia is associated with decreased circulating plasma volume.
    • Diuretic administration further reduces plasma volume in pre-eclampsia.
  • No evidence supports the efficacy of diuretics for preventing or treating pre-eclampsia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Diuretics should be considered contraindicated in pre-eclampsia.
    • Exceptions for diuretic use include cardiac insufficiency and specific renal diseases.
