  The major nephrotoxicity of mannitol is the injury to the tubule such as swelling of proximal tubular cells and vacuolization, the so-called osmotic nephrosis. [pubs.sciepub.com]

  Mannitol also reduces post-ischaemic endothelial cell swelling and decreases ischaemic–reperfusion injuries through scavenging of hydroxyl and other free radicals. [academic.oup.com]

  Medical use Diuretics are used for the treatment of increased blood pressure, cardiac failure and swelling, as well as for other conditions [2, 3]. [dopinglinkki.fi]

• Fatigue

  Obtain blood and urine specimen for laboratory analysis Observe for any change in consciousness, dizziness, fatigue, postural hypotension Monitor for fluid intake by measuring intake, output and daily weight. [health-conditions.com]

  Other symptoms include an increased level of thirst; fatigue (the result of the loss of essential minerals and salts from the body); and disturbed sleep, as the urge to urinate can cause the patient to wake several times during the night. [informationaboutdiabetes.com]

  Long-term use of diuretics results in a fall in systemic vascular resistance (by unknown mechanisms) that helps to sustain the reduction in arterial pressure. [cvpharmacology.com]

  However, patients with low plasma renin activity also experience a fall in blood pressure during ACE inhibitor therapy. [google.ch]

  The most common diuretic medications fall into four major categories: loop, osmotic, potassium-sparing and thiazide (or thiazide-like). [drugs.nmihi.com]

• Polyuria

  POLYURIA after the release of obstructive uropathy is a clinical entity of considerable medical interest. [nejm.org]

  The result is usually polyuria leading to dehydration if not managed in a timely and appropriate manner. [nataliescasebook.com]

  In addition, the polyuria expected during osmotic diuresis phase was not evident in our case probably as a result of extra renal water loss by diarrhea and febrile state, and by AKI. [scielo.br]
