Diuretics: role of sodium balance
Mayo Clinic Proceedings
|April 1, 1980
Abstract:
Diuretics are commonly prescribed for a wide variety of clinical problems, including hypertension, extracellular volume excess, and disorders of calcium metabolism. Although natriuresis with altered sodium balance is not always the therapeutic goal, this feature of the diuretics is essential for optimal results, irrespective of the clinical problem.
