SUMMARY
1. Inhibits only 3 to 5% of sodium reabsorption.
2. Inhibit the Na/CI co-transporter in the early distal tubule.
3. Increase delivery of Na+ to the early distal tubule and up-regulation of the counter-transport of the Na/K ATPase, leading to hypokalemia.
4. Inhibit dilution of urine (main site in DCT): excess loss of electrolytes as compared to water excretion.
5. Thiazides actually increase calcium reabsorption, which is in contrast with the action of loop diuretics - avoid in primary hyperparathyroidism or hypercalcemia of malignancy.
6. Thiazides can be useful in reducing urinary calcium in patients with kidney stones.
