What is diuretic therapy? -

effects of diuretic therapy to hypertension

Some effects of it would be The antihypertensive effect of diuretics is well documented. At least some preserved kidney function seems to be necessary to achieve a demonstrable effect. The importance of fluid volume reduction for the antihypertensive effect of these drugs during long-term treatment is however uncertain. The effects on central hemodynamics vary according to the literature, but the blood pressure reduction in responders (delta MAP greater than 10%) may primarily be explained by a reduction of the total peripheral vascular resistance. The peripheral circulation is influenced in the same way. Sometimes a flow reduction is observed, and sometimes a resistance reduction. In spite of a lasting blood pressure reduction after treatment with diuretics, the structural hypertensive vascular changes do not seem to be influenced. Hope that helps.

It lowers blood pressure by getting rid of the extra water in the bloodstream. The water leaves the blood, is processed by the kidneys, and is urinated out. With less fluid in the same veins, the blood pressure drops.
