What is the effect of double water loading in diuretics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Double water loading: Double water loading means doubling water intake in a certain time frame. Normal response to this maneuver is suppression of vasopressin secretion and thus the kidney is released from vasopressin water retention effect. A diuretic aims to increase sodium excretion. Double water loading in an other wise normal individual should enhance water excretion. If dehydrated, water retention could occur
