Diuretics are "agents that promote the excretion of urine through their effects on kidney function."[1]
Physiology of sodium reabsorption in the kidney
| Location in nephron | Proportion of total sodium reabsorption accounted for |
Ion pump | Diuretics that act at this location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proximal convulated tubule | 40% | Sodium-hydrogen antiporter | Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors |
| Late proximal tubule | Chloride-bicarbonate antiporter | cell | |
| Loop of Henle: thin descending limb |
0% | Not applicable | Osmotic diuretics |
| Loop of Henle: thick ascending limb ('diluting segment') |
25% | Sodium potassium chloride symporter | Loop diuretics |
| Distal convulated tubule | 10% | Sodium chloride symporter | Thiazides |
| Collecting tubule | 2-5% | Potassium-sparing diuretics |
Classification
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are a "class of compounds that reduces the secretion of h+ ions by the proximal kidney tubule through inhibition of carbonic anhydrases."[2][3]
Osmotic diuretic
Osmotic diuretics are "compounds that increase urine volume by increasing the amount of osmotically active solute in the urine. Osmotic diuretics also increase the osmolarity of plasma."[4]
Loop diuretics
More formally called sodium potassium chloride symporter inhibitors, these are agents that inhibit sodium-potassium-chloride symporters in the thick ascending limb at the junction of the Loop of Henle and distal kidney tubules.[5]
Thiazides
Thiazides are "heterocyclic compounds with sulfur and nitrogen in the ring. This term commonly refers to the benzothiadiazines that inhibit sodium-potassium-chloride symporters."[6]
Potassium-sparing diuretics
These work in the collecting duct and late distal convoluted tubule.
