Abstract

The article discusses magnesium-excreting effects of the main classes of diuretics (loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics, potassium-sparing diuretics, and others.), and their relationship with unwanted side effects of therapy. The similarity between certain congenital kidney dysfunctions and iatrogenic effects of diuretics is established. The prospects of the use of magnesium-containing drugs for the compensation of hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia and other negative effects of therapy with diuretics are demonstrated.
