After being on diuretics for two years without understanding the chemistry, now I do. Thank you, Knife, this allows me to be more informed on my medical condition.Knife wrote: Indeed, has to do with the counter current effect in the Nephron Loop. Diuretics really just regulate the amount of salt in your kidneys (nephrons), whether is is an antidiuretic and it absorbs more salt and lets more filtrate pass or leaves the salt in the filtrate and H2O is reabsorbed more.

Sure, no prob. I had my own Kidney issues a couple years ago, so I find the whole thing fascinating too.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
