Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Potassium-sparing diuretics work by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes sodium and water retention while promoting the loss of potassium. By inhibiting the action of aldosterone, these diuretics can increase urine output without causing significant potassium loss.
