Diuretics are used extensively in hospitals and in community medical practice for the management of cardiovascular diseases. They are used frequently as the first line treatment for mild to moderate hypertension and are an integral part of the management of symptomatic heart failure. Although diuretics have been used for several decades, there is still some ambiguity and confusion regarding the optimal way of using these common drugs. In this paper, the classes and action of diuretics are reviewed, and the various indications, optimal doses, and recommendations on the effective use of these agents are discussed.
利尿剂在医院和社区医疗实践中被广泛用于心血管疾病的治疗。它们经常被用作轻度至中度高血压的一线治疗药物，并且是有症状心力衰竭治疗不可或缺的一部分。尽管利尿剂已经使用了几十年，但在如何最佳使用这些常用药物方面仍存在一些模糊和困惑之处。本文回顾了利尿剂的类别和作用，并讨论了其各种适应症、最佳剂量以及有效使用这些药物的建议。
