Potassium sparing diuretics help lower blood pressure. Potassium sparing is a phrase that typically describes a special class of diuretics, Drugs.com explains. Diuretics are medications that help your body eliminate excess water. Usually, diuretics cause your body to excrete large amounts of potassium. This can lead to deficient levels of potassium in the body.
There are three major classes of diuretics: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics (Table 147). Aldosterone antagonists act in the kidney as potassium-sparing diuretics. Their diuretic actions are discussed in Guideline 12. In addition, aldosterone antagonists act on mineralocorticoid receptors in the heart and blood vessels and at steroid receptors in other tissues.
