    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology and Therapeutics
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Diuretics represent a cornerstone in managing various medical conditions.
    • Despite their widespread use, understanding their side effect profile is crucial for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the clinically relevant side effects associated with diuretic use.
    • To discuss metabolic changes, electrolyte disturbances, and drug interactions.
    • To outline preventive measures for diuretic-induced adverse reactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of documented side effects of diuretics.
    • Analysis of clinical data on electrolyte, acid-base, and water balance disturbances.
    • Examination of metabolic alterations including uric acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism.
    • Review of reported unspecific side effects and drug interactions.

    Main Results:

    • Diuretics can cause significant disturbances in electrolyte, acid-base, and water balance.
    • Metabolic changes, including effects on uric acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, are notable.
    • Unspecific side effects and potential drug interactions require careful consideration.

    Conclusions:

    • While generally safe, diuretics necessitate awareness of potential side effects.
    • Monitoring and proactive management can mitigate risks associated with diuretic therapy.
    • Understanding these adverse effects is key to optimizing diuretic treatment outcomes.
