Diuretic-Related Side Effects: Development and Treatment Hyponatremia is an uncommon, but serious, complication of diuretic therapy. Thiazide diuretics are more likely than loop diuretics to cause hyponatremia. Loop diuretics inhibit sodium (Na+) transport in the renal medulla and prevent the generation of a maximal osmotic gradient. Thus, urinary concentrating ability is impaired with loop diuretics.
