Diuretics make you pee more. What happens to someone who pees a lot?

anonymous · Answer

They rid the body of fluids as well as nutrients. Diuretics help the body lose retained water. In the process, you may lose electrolytes as well. If you lose too much water, you can lose electrolytes such as sodium or potassium which the body needs. Conditions such as hyponatremia or hypokalemia can alter heart conduction as well as cause seizures and respiratory arrest.
