Diuretics are grouped into three main categories: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics. Each category works by different mechanisms to increase urine output and reduce fluid retention in the body. Thiazide diuretics are commonly used for treating high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are often used for reducing excess fluid in conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Potassium-sparing diuretics help maintain potassium levels while promoting diuresis.

Thiazide diuretics include such commonly used diuretics as hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL, Esidrix), chlorothiazide (Diuril), and chlorthalidone (Hygroton)
Loop diuretics work by restraining the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter. Thiazide diuretics restrain the sodium-chloride transporter. Carbonic anhydrase inhibiting diuretics work by restraining bicarbonate transport.
