What is the mechanism of diuresis caused by acetazolamide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acetazolamide: As a carbonic andydrase inhibitor, acetazolamide decreases the rate of carbonic acid and hydrogen ion production of the kidney, this increases the excretion of solutes and the rate of urinary output.
