Diuretics filter the blood forcefully, eliminate the waste through urination. Re-absorption of blood takes place and elimination of waste through (glomerular filtration, re-absorption from loop of Henley, distal & proximal convoluted tubule) different parts of the nephron. Due to forceful urination (pee), diuretic eliminates excessive fluid (not fluis) from the peritoneal cavity.
Thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics (frusemide a STRONG diuretic, eliminate all sodium, potassium & more. Extra potassium therapy is required) and potassium sparing diuretic (weak diuretic but retain potassium) act in different ways. Excessive salt intake - retain water (accumulation of fluid). So, physician advised salt restricted diet.
