Diuretics can be classified into three categories: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics and potassium sparing diuretics. The first type is thiazide diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide, which mainly acts on the proximal end of distal convoluted tubules and inhibits sodium absorption. The second type is loop diuretics, such as furosemide, which mainly acts on the thick segment of the ascending branch of the loop and has a good diuretic effect. The third type is potassium preserving diuretics, such as spironolactone. It mainly acts on the distal end of distal convoluted tubule and has potassium retention effect. The diuretic effect of the drug is the fastest. You can take the drug with diuretic effect under the guidance of the doctor. Generally, it can promote the excretion of urine in about 20 minutes. However, drug diuresis also has some side effects, which is easy to promote the discharge of a large amount of water, which will lead to electrolyte disorder and is not conducive to health.
