Diuretics are a class of drugs that cause the kidneys to produce more urine. They help the body eliminate excess fluid and salt. The main types are loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, potassium-sparing diuretics, and osmotic diuretics. Diuretics are used to treat conditions like heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and hypertension by removing extra fluid from the body. Common side effects include impotence, rashes, nausea, dizziness and fatigue.

Diuretics are medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body. They are sometimes called water pills. Most diuretics help the kidneys remove salt and water through the urine. This lowers the amount of fluid flowing through the veins and arteries. As a result, blood pressure goes down.
Diuretics are drugs that increase the flow of urine. They are commonly used to treat edema, hypertension, and heart failure. Typically, the pharmacological group consists of five classes: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, potassium-sparing diuretics, osmotic diuretics, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
There are three main types of diuretic: loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics and potassium-sparing diuretics.
Diuretics are substances whose administration increases urine production. Practical definition of a diuretic is a drug which increases the renal excretion of salt and water.
I created this slide to help summarise the main concepts from topic on Renal Diuretics.

Pharmacology
Katzung
Abnormalities in fluid volume and electrolyte composition are common and important clinical disorders. Drugs that block specific transport functions of the renal tubules are valuable clinical tools in the treatment of these disorders. Although various agents that increase urine volume (diuretics) have been described since antiquity, it was not until 1937 that carbonic anhydrase inhibitors were first described and not until 1957 that a much more useful and powerful diuretic agent (chlorothiazide) became available. Technically, a “diuretic” is an agent that increases urine volume, whereas a “natriuretic” causes an increase in renal sodium excretion and an “aquaretic” increases excretion of solute-free water. Because natriuretics almost always also increase water excretion, they are usually called diuretics. Osmotic diuretics and antidiuretic hormone antagonists (see Agents That Alter Water Excretion) are aquaretics that are not directly natriuretic.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

3. Pharmacokinetics: Diuretics may be given orally or by slow intravenous
injection or IV infusion. Thiazides are absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract with an onset of action of between one and three
hours. They are metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
1.HIGH CEILING/LOOP DIURETICS
• High ceiling diuretics may cause a substantial decrease up to 20% of
the filtered load of NaCl and water.
• Loop diuretics such as FUROSEMIDE inhibit the body's ability to
reabsorb sodium at the ascending loop in NEPHRON.
2. THIAZIDES
• Thiazide diuretics such as Hydrochlorothiazide act on the distal
convoluted tubule and inhibit the sodium chloride symporter
leading to retention of water in the urine.
• Frequent urination is due to the increased loss of water.
• The long term anti -hypertensive action is based on the thiazides
which decrease preload and blood pressure. THIAZIDES.
4. 3.CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS
• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase
which is found in proximal convoluted tubule.
• This results in several effects including bicarbonate retention in the
urine.
• Potassium retention in urine.
• Decreased sodium absorption.
E.g.: Acetazolamide.,Methazolamine.
4. POTASSIUM-SPARING DIURETICS
• These are diuretics which do not promote the secretion of potassium
into the urine. ⚫ Potassium is retained and not lost as much as with
other diuretics.
• The term potassium sparing refers to an effects rather than a
mechanism or location.
E.g.: Aldosterone antagonists Spironolactone
• Which is a competitive antagonist of aldosterone
• Aldosterone adds sodium channels in the cells of collecting duct and
late distal tubule of the Nephron.
5. • Spironolactone prevents aldosterone from entering the cells, and
preventing sodium reabsorption. E.g.: Eplerenone, Potassium
canrenonate.
• Epithelial sodium channel blockers
E.g.: Amiloride. Triamterene.
5.OSMOTIC DIURETICS
• The compounds as Mannitol are filtered in the glomerulus, but cannot
be reabsorbed. Their presence leads to increases in the osmolality of
the filtrate.
• To maintain osmotic balance, water is retained in the urine.
• Glucose like mannitol behaves as an osmotic diuretic. Glycosuria causes
a loss of hypotonic water & Na+, leading to a hypertonic state with
signs of volume depletion. Such as Hypotension, Tachycardia.
6.LOW CEILING DIURETICS
• The low celling diuretics are used to indicate an diuretic has a rapid
flatting dose effect curve.
• It refers to a pharmacological profile, not a chemical structure.
6. MEDICINAL USES
Diuretics are used to treat
Heart failures
Liver cirrhosis.
Hypertension.
Certain kidney diseases,etc
ADVERSE DRUG REACTION:
Impotence, skin rashes, nausea, dizziness and lethargy as well as
subjective side effects.
7. ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUG
Definition: A type of drug used to treat high blood pressure.
There are many different types of antihypertensive agents, and they
work in different ways to lower blood pressure. Some remove extra fluid
and salt from the body. Others relax and widen the blood vessels or
slow the heartbeat.
9. PHARMACOLOGY:
Antihypertensive drugs act centrally (methyldopa, clonidine,
guanabenz), peripherally (prazosin, guanadrel, guanethedine,
hydralazine, minoxidil), centrally and peripherally (beta-adrenergic
blocking drugs) and systemically [angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitors and diuretics]. Centrally-acting antihypertensives
decrease blood pressure by diminishing sympathetic outflow from the
vasomotor centre.
Peripherally-acting antihypertensives act by depleting or inhibiting
the release of catecholamines from the peripheral nerve ending or
altering the response at alpha 1- and alpha 2-receptor sites. Beta-
adrenergic blocking drugs act through a variety of mechanisms by
either decreasing cardiac output, decreasing renin release, inhibiting
prejunctional release of norepinephrine or through central
mechanisms.
Diuretics act as indirect vasodilators by depleting salt and water not
only within the intravascular compartment but within the intramural
portion of the arteriole, thereby diminishing its responsiveness to
catecholamine and angiotensin II stimulation.
ACE inhibitors such as captopril and enalapril act by inhibiting the
conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II thereby decreasing the
vasoconstrictor effect of angiotensin II and the aldosterone
production secondary to angiotensin II stimulation. The main
12. 𝛃-Adrenoceptor blockers: evidence for use of β-blockers in NSTE-ACS is
limited, but they are prescribed routinely to relieve ischaemia.
Contraindications include airways disease, acute heart failure and
impaired cardiac conduction.
Calcium channel blockers: small randomized trials suggest that calcium
channel blockers relieve symptoms in patients with NSTE-ACS. Calcium
channel blockers include dihydropyridines (e.g. amlodipine), diltiazem (a
benzothiazepine) and verapamil (a phenylalkylamine). Dihydropyridines
cause reflex tachycardia, but diltiazem and verapamil depress cardiac
contractility and conduction and should not be given to patients with
heart block or in combination with a β-adrenoceptor blocker.
Nitrates: small observational studies suggest that intravenous nitrate
relieves ischemia in patients with NSTE-ACS. Adverse effects include
headache and hypotension; continuous administration can induce
tolerance. Nitrates are contraindicated after recent use of
phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (e.g. sildenafil).
