Patients on diuretic therapy should have regular monitoring of serum electrolytes, particularly potassium and sodium levels, as diuretics can cause imbalances. Additionally, renal function tests, including serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), should be evaluated to assess kidney health. Monitoring for magnesium levels is also important, especially with loop diuretics, which can lead to magnesium depletion. Regular blood pressure checks are advisable to ensure the effectiveness of the therapy.
