The Role of Diuretics in the Management of Fluid Balance in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Abstract

Diuretics have an important role in fluid management in peritoneal dialysis patients. Appropriate use of diuretics can increase urine volume and sodium excretion, results in better volume control and possibly patient outcome. This article discusses about the role of diuretic drugs to control sodium and water balance in peritoneal dialysis patients and how to apply to clinical practice.
