Diuretics The most common diuretic medications fall into four major categories: loop, osmotic, potassium-sparing and thiazide (or thiazide-like). Loop diuretics decrease the kidney’s ability to absorb sodium, causing more sodium to be eliminated through urine. Loop diuretics produce the greatest increase in urine flow. They may be administered through an intravenous (I.V.) line in the hospital to reduce swelling (edema) in patients with a variety of conditions (e.g., heart failure).
