what is 'diuretics'?
Definition for diuretics
A diuretic is any drug that elevates the rate of urination and thus provides a means of forced diuresis . There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies, although each class of diuretic does so in a distinct way.

A diuretic is any drug that elevates the rate of urination and thus provides a means of forced diuresis . There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from bodies, although each class of diuretic does so in a distinct way.
High ceiling diuretics are diuretics that may cause a substantial diuresis - up to 20% [ 1 ] of the filtered load of NaCl and water. This is huge when compared to normal renal sodium reabsorption which leaves only ~0.4% of filtered sodium in the urine.
