Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diuretic is a substance (either natural or synthetic) that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine. This results in increased fluid loss via the urine. Caffeine is also a mild diuretic, but it is not as strong as some medications specifically designed as diuretics. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), on the other hand, reduces urine output and therefore does not increase fluid loss via the urine. Plasma is a component of blood and not a substance that increases fluid loss via the urine.
